IMO, if it's meaningful to you and part of the reason you want to go into medicine, write about it.
You can ask people on the list, just be aware that some people might not be willing/able to read it. A few have specifically stated that they don't want to look at these, so please take their wishes into consideration when PMing.
I applied last year and didn't get in anywhere. I applied to 6 schools, got secondaries to all 6 and landed 3 interviews. End result 2 rejections and 1 waitlist. Would reusing last years personal statement be a mistake in you guys opinion. I'm considering saving most of it, and just changing around a couple of sentences to keep it up to date.
I feel that what held me back was that I just didn't apply broadly enough. That will be corrected this year, but I'm wondering if the schools I applied to last year will look down on me reusing the old statement.
