hey, i'm looking for a reader for my PS. i tried to make it interesting, so it should be a fun and quick read! let me know if you're available and i'll email it to you. thanks everyone, for offering to take some time and help us out!
 
Can I also have some people to look at my PS? I've gone through revision several times, and I continue to look to more people for more advice and input. If you are available, please let me know!! Thanks.
 
Hey all,

I was wondering if someone could read my personal statement. It's the only part of my app that's missing, so any help would be greatly appreciated!! Please PM me if you can.

Thank you SO much!
 
Hi everyone, I am still working on my PS, I am trying to add in some bits and pieces, and I am not a great writer, very dry and technical, not enjoyable. I am wondering if someone would be able to give me a few pointers as to where in my current document I should add my new ideas... Not looking for you to write it, just some suggestions... Any help is of course appreciated... Thank you!
 
Hey guys, I have a pretty much final draft of my personal statement. Can anyone read it and let me know what they think? ANY feedback/suggestions/comments are very welcome, be harsh! I'm completely open to rewriting parts of it or even everything, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!!
 
Hey guys, so I'm actually in what I think is the final form of my personal statement. I've had a very um... diverse array of qualified people help me through the process, so I think I have a good idea of what to look for in a personal statement.

I can read some personal statements if anyone needs another opinion. Send them on over.

The catch is.. I may ask you to read mine over for me too, I'm torn as to whether or not it's finally ready 😀

Hey, anyone up to read an initial draft (without conclusion so far) of my personal statement? It's not too long yet 😛
 
Hi! Longtime lurker wondering if anyone may be able to read my PS...? It would be greatly appreciated and I'll be truly grateful!

Thanks a bunch!

Hey, I've got a PS I'd like somebody to take a look at. Thing is I need a pretty quick turn around (like hopefully by the end of the weekend). Anybody think they could take a look?

Also, if there's anybody else out there who's a procrastinator like me, and they've got a PS they want someone to take a look at, I'd be more than happy to trade with you.

Thanks,

I'll do it. I'm not officially on the list, but I may be able to help you anyway. PM me if you want.

I have one that I'd prefer read by somebody who has a good understanding of what admissions panels do/don't want to see. I have a big gruesome story of me saving my father's life using unorthodox improvised first-aid that I'm using to justify myself when I say I think my personality is suited for medicine, and I'm not sure how it will go over.
 
Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone have time to read over my personal statement. I am really lost with this thing. Thanks!
 
Wondering if anyone was willing to give completely honesty input regarding a personal statement.

I went to the official PS readers topic, but no one there seems to be reading these days (I sent a message to at least 20 people with no responses)
