I am a non-trad and I have rewritten my ps for the third time and I feel like it's unacceptably weak. I want to submit in the next week or so but I feel like my ps/activies have so far to go. Honestly I'm kind of freaking out because writing isn't my strong suit and I don't have anyone close to the process to help me discern what is important to put in my ps/help edit it. I want to use a professional consultant but they are crazy expensive and seems like some can be dicy. If anyone is willing to help me out over the phone/skype, or even just read over it and be hypercritical I would be forever grateful.
