*~*~*~*~*~*Official Personal Statement Guide and Reader List 2021-2022*~*~*~*~*~*

[PapaGuava]

This thread is for this year's applicants who are beginning to work on their personal statements. If you're looking for someone to read your PS, check out the list of volunteers below In the most recent post ONLY!!

Link to last year's thread

If you are willing to volunteer, the thread will be self regulated. Respond below, following the instructions at the end of this post, with your credentials and specific things you are willing to edit for (content only, grammar only, etc). Please read the full list of rules posted below before you volunteer or contact a reader, and good luck to the 2020-2021 applicants.

Official Personal Statement Guide thread, Alejandro's Personal Statement Advice, and Depakote's Personal Statement Guide/Tips.

• If you are looking for feedback on your personal statement, it is better to PM individual users here whose strengths are better suited to your needs rather than posting a response in this thread.
• Once you contact a reader and they agree to read your personal statement, please email it to them as a Word document with your SDN username in the title. Including your SDN username makes it easier for the readers to keep track of who they've already read for and who they still need to read. DO NOT JUST PM YOUR STATEMENT TO A READER.

Rules for Readers:

• If you would like to be added or deleted from the list, please make sure that you follow the directions below, and add or delete yourself.
• As a volunteer, you may read as many or as few personal statements as you'd like or have time for. If you will be unavailable for a certain time or have been inundated with requests, simply take yourself off of the list using the instructions below
• If you receive a request and are unable to fulfill it, please respond to the writer so he/she is not waiting for a response and can request help from elsewhere.
• For your protection, we will not allow you to post your email addresses here. All email addresses will be edited out of the list and any further posts containing email addresses will be edited to remove them. Writers will contact you via PM and you can exchange email addresses privately.
• As this is on a volunteer basis, absolutely NO solicitation of money for your services will be tolerated. Volunteers who violate this policy will be removed from the list and subject to further disciplinary action.
• DO NOT share someone's PS with anyone else without the writer's permission

Instructions for Readers

1. Click "quote" on the most recent post.
2. Add your SDN screen name, your credentials, and specific things you are willing to edit for (content only, grammar only, etc). DO NOT post your email address. If you aren't sure how to write this part, look at the OP from last year's thread for examples.
3. Delete the quote tags at both the top and the bottom.
4. If you are unable to read any more personal statements, please come back and move your name into the inactive list

Here's an example of how to volunteer as a reader and how to provide useful info on experience, availability:

• FriendlySDNer| MD class of 2018, will start family med residency in June | interviewer (x4 years) and voting admissions committee member (x1 year) at T20 med school. Will comment on grammar, content, theme, flow, anything you want. Will not be available after June 12 2021.

This thread is brought to you by the Pre-Allopathic Volunteer Staff
Please remember that these people are volunteering their time. Be nice to them!

Good luck! Please let us know if you have any questions!

There have not been many volunteers readers for this cycle (shoutout to @touchflame for being the sole volunteer thus far!). With applications officially open for the class of 2026 and the earliest possible date of submission being just four short weeks away, I am writing to humbly ask successful applicants to please consider volunteering some of your time (even just a day!) to be a personal statement reader.

As you have no doubt experienced, the application process is nerve-wracking, but particularly so for those who fly in blind. Many of us are lucky to have mentors who invested in our success, and volunteered their time to write recommendation(s) on our behalf. I certainly would not be where I am today without the advocacy, feedback, and generosity provided by my late mentor, and volunteers here on SDN. Unfortunately, many applicants lack such guidance, and do not have access to knowledgeable readers, nor the financial means to hire a fancy consultant. For these individuals, any amount of feedback and guidance can make a huge difference, and help prevent costly mistakes from being made.

Volunteering as a reader is a fun, stress-free, and meaningful way to 'pay it forward'. No prior editing and/or review experience is required! As successful applicants both past and present, this is something we are all qualified to do, by simple virtue of having been through this process, and knowing what traits medical schools look for. In fact, at many schools, MS1's (i.e. you in just a few months time!) play a pivotal role in evaluating applicants!

Providing feedback can be as simple as qualitatively answering these five 'yes-no' questions:
1) Did I get a good sense of who you are as a person? Y/N
2) Did I get a good sense of why you are pursuing medicine and how you have tested this career choice? Y/N
3) Are you someone who I would want as my peer? Y/N
4) Is your personal statement easy to follow? Y/N
5) Did your personal statement show humility, maturity, genuineness, confidence, and avoid negativity? Y/N

Get 5 Yes's? Good to go! Otherwise, back to the drawing board. It's that simple! You will be surprised by how many applicants unknowingly fail to meet one or more of these criteria, and how quickly personal statements can turn around with this realization. So please do consider volunteering if you can. Any amount of time will help. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,
- Moko


tl;dr: Please consider volunteering to be a reader. Your fellow students need your help and guidance!

And for applicants: it is better to submit a good and polished application in June/July than to submit a subpar and mediocre application in May. You can and should start prewriting secondaries during the verification period. If you utilize a reader for your application, please consider volunteering your time next year for future applicants.

Unfortunately, I have to take myself off the list for awhile while I write my master's thesis, or at least make good progress on it. It's got to be done before medical school begins. I've gotten to and through most of the people who've messaged me so far, and I will try to get to the remainder in the coming days. It may take awhile, but feel free to message me follow-ups.
