Hi!!

I totally underestimated my personal statement, and now I'm paying the price. I finally finished writing it today.

Would anyone mind giving it a quick proofread before i submit it?

I'm already way late in the application cycle, so any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks.

PS: I'm kind of new, so I apologize for not knowing where to post my thread.
 
Hi,

For what it's worth, I'd be happy to read it and give you some comments. I have not applied to medical school, but I have quite a bit of experience writing personal statements for other programs (and I've been fairly successful). I've also tutored quite a bit, particularly for directed studies/research in my discipline (economics).

Just send me a PM if you'd like.
 
Thanks for the Welcome Sagacious.


Pose! I am forever in your debt. May Hermes, the God of Trade, Profit, Merchants and Travelers bless you and your discipline of Economics.
 
Thank you Keewee for PMing me your thoughts on my PS. This SDN community is the best, and I'll definitely pay back the kindness that has been shown to me. I still haven't submitted it, so if there is anyone else willing to take a look at it, it would be much appreciated.
 
I can give it a looksie.

How are your stats? As you know, you are fairly late...if you submit today you will probably be verified around Oct 5th.
 
Could I piggyback on any of these offers of readings? I had several people who volunteered (not on here) and they are not getting back with me.

(I am hoping it's not that bad, they are just busy. )

This is probably a dumb question, but AMCAS does not forward your application to medical schools until it is verified, correct?

Sorry for my ignorance on the matter.
 

Consider this hypothetical case:

You submit AMCAS on Oct 5
It gets verified and submitted on Nov 5
School application deadline is Nov 1

Do they accept your application because you submitted it before the deadline, or do they reject it because they received it after the deadline?
 
That hypothetical case is moot since you still have to write secondaries or at least pay the fee.
 
Thanks for the replies. Sorry for highjacking thread.
