Anyone still reading? I pmed some but have not gotten a response yet. I know you can talk about poor performance in your PS but how poor does it have to be to discuss?

My science gpa is poor, 2.97 I have one W, I got one D+ in ochem but retook the class and got an A-. I received all Cs in gen chem. My upper level biochem and genetics were both Cs. Ochem (As and Bs) bio (Bs) and Physics As. Is that significant enough to address it? How do you do that without providing an excuse?

Currently my personal statement is too long but there is nothing I want to cut out.
 
Any readers out there?

PM me if you're willing to read and do a little editing.
 
I'm also looking for someone to read and critique mine. PM me I you're available. Thanks!
 
If anyone is still willing to read my PS and give some feedback on impressions/content I would appreciate it. Thanks!
 
Please PM if you are willing to read my PS. Any help is appreciated!

Anybody willing to read a PS for a non trad?
Click to expand...

Sure I've got some time to kill. I was also a non-trad applicant. PM your statement if you still need some help...

I'm hoping you are only getting a head start for some future application cycle? Surely you know it is a bad idea to still be working on a PS for entry next fall...

MegMurry: Matriculating Fall 2012 MD - non-trad with finance background and S/T on MCAT WS, especially willing to read other non-trads' PS. I've been an editor in the past for science journals. Willing to edit for both content and grammar and will give you an estimate of when I can turn things around. I'm currently NOT taking new essays. If you have sent me a PS already, I will get around to yours, but am dealing with some backlog.

darmalee: Matriculating Fall 2012 - non-trad also. I've done quite a bit of PS editing both this year and last. Willing to edit for content, grammar or both. I've done a lot of writing in many different capacities since I was young and I can usually edit and return your PS within a day or two, as long as I'm not completely inundated with requests.

robertch8: Matriculating Fall 2012 MD-- finishing up Master's program, did health related service before that for 2 years. I am a reapplicant so I know what seemed to work for me this year versus the previous year; I went from 1 waitlist to multiple acceptances. Received a R on the MCAT Writing Section. I have experience with MD and DO applications, and I applied to a high number of schools. I can read for grammar and content. Also feel free to ask any general questions about the process, schools you're looking at applying to, and if you need any help with writing a secondary. My strength in my application was my commitment to community service in the healthcare field for anyone looking for a reader with similar interests. Unfortunately I can't take any new requests at this point for the next couple of weeks maybe longer. I need to spend the next couple of weeks working on my Master's paper and presentation.

I've also edited a number of applications for my friends. Grammar isn't my forte, but I can comment on content and streamline the style of your essay. Can read for MD or DO.

LilMick-- I am a freelance writer and editor, Phi Beta Kappa, have several publications in creative writing and journalism, received a top score on the MCAT and GRE writing sections, was accepted to several MD/PhD programs, and read many PS last year. Because of being swamped with requests last year, this year, I am only reading essays for MD/PhD applicants or applicants addressing legal issues and/or addiction recovery. Please send it in a PM with the title of MD/PhD or Legal Issues... I will delete any other requests.

Pebbles808: Matriculating Fall 2012 (11 interviews/7 acceptances). Double majored in English & Biology, Master’s in Public Health. Scored a 38T on the MCAT. Willing to read/edit for content, grammar, etc. I’m pretty specific, so I assure you that you will get excellent feedback.

PlatypusMD: Matriculating Fall 2012 with a full merit scholarship. Dual undergraduate degrees in business and cell biology with a focus on business communications. Have done extensive writing as an undergraduate on both scientific and interpersonal fronts. Will read for spelling, grammar, flow, and content. As a forewarning, I do tend to rip things apart when reviewing. That's a good thing, right? :laugh: Please do NOT just PM me your statement. PM me with a request, and I'll get back to you with my email address. For clarity, I make my comments/edits directly on Microsoft Word.

quarrelsometofu Matriculating Fall 2012. Edited around 10 personal statements last year through SDN (different username). Willing to edit for content, grammar, and flow. I did a significant amount of reworking on my own PS, and ended up getting interview invites at all 16 schools I applied to. Not accepting any more right now. I will finish the ones I've received and update when I'm available.

TheMightySmiter: Matriculating fall 2012, two acceptances and ten interview invites. Majored in social science/philosophy in undergrad with tons of essay and paper experience. I have a pretty good eye for writing style and will edit for content, flow, spelling, grammar, and overall impression. I will need about a week to get caught up with all the essays I have in my inbox. I will update this thread when I am ready to start accepting more requests.

Oxygen206 Lots of writing and editing experience during college. I am matriculating this fall (2012). Spent a long time writing and editing my PS, have been told by a few well known PS editors it was one of the best they've ever read. I think I have a pretty good idea what a PS should/should not include (feel free to glance over mine in my MDapps). Will read for content and overall impression. PM me with some information about yourself, and I will respond with my email address if I feel I am an appropriate editor for your situation. Cheers!
Apologies to everyone who has sent me requests, I have received an overwhelming amount and unfortunately I can't respond to everyone. I will post when I get caught up. Best of luck :luck:

I was the working editor for my college's undergraduate science journal, I completed an incredibly long written thesis for my college's honors program, and I took several writing-intensive courses in college. I also spent a long time revising and editing my own PS last year. I am willing to edit for grammar and flow in detail, and I will also give comments on content and overall impression. I am not accepting any new personal statements at this time! I will post again when I can accept more.

Total180: Just finished my first year at LMU-DCOM. I applied through both AMCAS and AACOMAS so I am willing to read for both DO and MD applications (mine was only slightly different between the two). Before I decided on medicine I attended a school where we didn't take tests...we just wrote papers, so I have a lot of experience in all different forms of writing. I will do my best to catch any grammar errors as well as look it over for content/flow. If it makes a difference my PS was centered around my desire to work in underserved hispanic communities, as I have had a lot of experience working in those areas. Just send me a PM and I will see what I can do! Since posting this, I have gotten a ton of requests and I am getting backed up. I will get back to the people who have messaged me already, and would be happy to do those, but until I catch up I can't take any more.

Jemeni: Incoming M1. Pretty proud of my previous PS. Was told it was "exceptional", "incredible" and that I'm an "outstanding writer" by several readers on here, my career center, as well as several of my medical school interviewers. Feel like I have a good grasp on what's needed, as well as the solid writing skills, to provide some meaningful critique. Will do content and grammar. Gimme a week, but I'll try to get back to you asap. Ok, these came in faster than I expected haha. No more for the moment, let me get to what's on my plate first.

Graduated this May with a B.S. in Molecular Biology but I did receive A's in all my English classes. PM me with PS and we'll go from there. I am taking no more personal statement essays due to the flood already in my inbox. If you don't get a response, just be patient. I will eventually get to you.

Graduated this May with a B.S. in Molecular Biology but I did receive A's in all my English classes. PM me with PS and we'll go from there. I am taking no more personal statement essays due to the flood already in my inbox. If you don't get a response, just be patient. I will eventually get to you.

happyinnyc | Incoming MS1. Worked as proofreader for a professional writing service for 2 yrs, humanities major in college, current academic researcher. Low MCAT/GPA, but very strong ECs and personal statement, which I was told was what set me apart from the other applicants. SORRY, NOT ACCEPTING NEW REQUESTS AT THIS TIME. For those who already sent me their requests, I will work through them in the order received.

eleventwelve: Incoming M1. English/neurobio double-major. 15 VR/ T WS on MCAT. Willing to edit for content and grammar . Spent ~2.5 months on my PS and was complimented on it at almost every interview. Was a newspaper editor in HS and college. Took 1 year off after college to work for a nonprofit.

Manbearpig11: Incoming M1. English/biochem major. Published in "Stem Cells" 2 articles. I was the go to for editing at Tulane university. Okkk Ive got a fat stack of statements to work on no more for now.

regularbobj: Just finished up own PS. Willing to help others with their PS on content and/or grammar.

hellocubed: Just finished my application. Biology Major. I can help with content and general grammer.

tat2748: Just finished my own PS ... I'm down to help. I've gotten tons of advice on SDN so it makes sense to give back. I'll edit for content, overall flow, and choice of stories/examples, etc.

OwlPower22: Giving back to the SDN community, because this thread has helped me a lot when i was applying. Quals: Former science article writer, helped residents and pre-meds with essays. Entering med school this year. Brutally honest and quick with feedback. Apologies if I don't get a chance to review your PS if I'm flooded with requests.
 
Anyone around to read my personal statement? This week would be great. Thank you.
 
Does anybody know if there is a thread for 2014 starting year?
