Wow, 3 already? OK, I am on hold until I read these. 😀

Please is anyone available to read my personal statement?
I really need help.

Alexy, I got your PM. You can forward me your statement.
 
Hi there,

Would anyone be willing to read my personal statement? I've written and rewritten a few times but still somewhat unsure if it ties together well. Thanks so much in advance!
 
Hi,

Is there anyone that can please look over my personal statement? I am about ready to submit but am still not too sure about my statement.

Thanks in advance!!
 
I would love to read personal statements. I graduated with a major in biology but a minor in English. I have a 3.8 GPA and have spent many hours volunteering at our university's writing center. I can help with content, organization and grammar.
 
Does anyone have a few minutes to read over my personal statement? Please PM me your email address if you are willing to! i would really appreciate it 🙂
 
Can someone read my PS please! I really need help. Thx!!!!
 
I just emailed the mod that I am now active again to read PSs. I took a 2 week hiatus but am ready to start reading again. PM me and I'll give my email addy as to where to send the word doc of your PS.

Also please don't leave me a visitor message - PM ME! - I feel terrible recently that I found so many visitor messages under my profile of people that wanted me to read their PSs but I don't check that and so I feel terrible for ignoring them.
 
Also need help with my PS, anyone willing to read mine? I maxed out my school's writing center and was looking to submit sometime this week, just need a few more ppl to approve it to be sent 🙂 thanks!
 
Hey guys, I have done about 60 PSs over the last few weeks... I think I'm spent on editing right now, secondaries are taking up a lot of my time too.

Please remove me from the readers list! 🙂 It's been fun!
 
Hi. I recently wrote 2 rough drafts for my primary personal statement. I wrote one first, wasn’t satisfied, and wrote another. If any one of you would look over them, I will be extremely grateful. Thanks!
 
If anyone can read my PS, please PM me.

I've send msgs to many people on the readers list but no response. I know people are busy with school, work, applications, so if you're reading this and you have some time to spare to read my PS please PM. Thanks!
 
I'd be grateful for a reader as well. Im concerned about a couple points on mine...PM me please if you're available!
 
I would be more than happy to read. I will mainly focus on content and cohesiveness. Since I am an engineer by training I may not be the best person to read for sentence structure, grammar, spelling, etc. But I will still do my best. I just went through the application process and was accepted by multiple schools. So I have somewhat of an understanding of what adcoms are looking for. Good luck to everyone applying this cycle. Feel free to PM me your PS.

Update: I am no longer available to read personal statements . Those you shared your stores with me, thank you. If you have sent me your personal statement and I have not gotten back to you already, I will do so shortly.

Anyone awake and willing to read a PS right now? PM me and I'll send it to you right away. Thanks.
 
Hey- med school is starting in 7 days for me so I'm busy packing etc. Could you please take me off the list?
 
Hey JJ! For the next month, I can read statements again! 🙂
 
Anyone out there wanna read my second rough draft? I'm desperate to have everything ready to submit by July 1st...
 
Eeek! My name is still on the list!

Please remove me from the readers list! Thanks 🙂
 
Hi, please message me if you're still willing to read personal statements.

I've messaged virtually everyone on this list and only got all of 2 responses (both of which were unproductive).

Thank you in advance for any constructive criticism you can offer. 🙂
 
Hi all I'm also in the same boat. I've messaged quite a few people on the list and gotten no responses. If anyone is willing to proofread my personal statement do let me know. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
(please PM me)🙂
 
anyone wanna exchange/read each others personal statements?
 
If anyone is still reading I would like some critiques on mine.

Thanks!
 
I have received a lot of requests so I am not taking more essays right now. Thanks.
 
I am also looking for a reading and would be happy to do an exchange.
 
I think I am done with my PS but I just cannot get myself to push the submit button on the AMCAS. Would someone be willing to read over my PS and give me some comments on it?
 
I just wanted to let you all know that I will no longer be able to read PSs. It has been a privilege for those of you that have shared your stories with me and I really have enjoyed being able to help you all in any way I can.

Anyone who has already sent me their PS will get a reply from me in the next few days and for those of you that I am already working with, I will continue to but I just won't be able to accept new PSs to edit.

Hope you all are having a wonderful 4th of July and best wishes to you throughout the application cycle!😍
 
Would it be possible for somebody to read over my PS? I would really appreciate any input, but am unsure of who is still reading out of those who were initially on the list (outside of those who openly said they're retired). Please PM me or let me know if you're still reading and I'll send my essay. Thanks!!😛
 
Hey JJ! Can you put me on temporary hold again? I am swamped with statements to review right now! 🙂
 
I can read a couple, you can PM me if you see this post and I'll let you know if I can get you in.

Please do NOT add me to the master list however, I can only read a few.

EDIT: Update - I'm currently full right now, sorry.

I noticed that you studied history in college. I am a nonscience med school applicant, and I think I could really use your advice for my personal statement. Would you be able to help? Thank you.
 
I am in the final stages of my ps but it is way too long.Would someone be able to read it and give me feedback, id really appreciate it.
 
Hi, I am in the final drafts of my personal statement, with about 200 words over the limit of 5300. Is there anyone here who can read my personal statement, mostly for content and logic/clarity?

I appreciate it! 😀
 
Is anyone still reading statements? I don't want to send it to anyone who can't read them right now.
 
Can anyone read over my PS and let me know how it flows and how it impacts you? PM me if you can, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
 
Hey SDNers!

Can someone please review my statement? I would truly appreciate it! Not the best writer, so if you can be brutally honest, that would be helpful!

Please PM me so I can send it to you...THANKS AGAIN!
 
I also would really appreciate if someone could read my PS. Any takers?
 
I have a near final draft of my PS. I would really appreciate if someone could proof-read it! Thanks!
 
Hi,

I've been swamped with PSes in the last month and am in the middle of a cross-country move right now. Can you put me on the hold list for a while? Thanks.
 
Can I borrow someones eyes to read my personal statement? Ive tried to make it clear and enjoyable.
