Do any of you seasoned SDN'ers or reapplicants know if the personal statement changes from year to year? Would LOVE to get some sort of head start on it

It doesn't, you are describing yourself and your story. Why would it change?

I nominate one of Duke's horrific secondary prompts to be the new personal statement!

I guess I've derailed this thread.

What is the most significant moral or ethical dilemma that you have faced in your life (excluding instances of academic dishonesty involving another person)? Describe how you dealt with and potentially resolved it, including beliefs, resources, individuals, etc. How did this dilemma and its resolution change your life and what, if any, impact will this have on your future as a health care provider?


What has been your most humbling experience and how will that experience affect your interactions with your peers and patients?


What is the toughest feedback that you ever received? How did you handle it and what did you learn from it?
