Hey everyone,
I just started battling with writing my personal statement (why is it so hard to write about yourself???) and I have a quick question: is it considered a faux pas to mention a mentor by name in the PS? what if there are a couple people who have helped you out? is it looked on as name-dropping to mention them in the PS? also, it's such a small field, do you run the risk of offending someone you've worked with by NOT mentioning them?
yes, i am a big neurotic who over-thinks things! thanks for any advice...
