So after reading a couple of statements after I wrote mine, I am slightly becoming insecure. The examples I am reading have people saying like this experience made me more confident and boosted my leadership skills. i dont really have examples like that in my ps. it should be okay though no?

Without seeing it there is no way to tell. I've read about 15 PS's now. You can PM me and I'll give you my email if you would like.

The whole point of the PS is so that you can tell them hey, this is why I know I want to be a doctor, and this is why I think I will be GREAT at it. Thats why most people give specific examples and say how those experiences made them more confident.

The one thing you don't wanna do is be ruminative.....they don't want to hear any sort of doubt in your essay. Instead, try to make your essay as argument driven as possible, and you can do this by giving these examples/experiences.....and examples and experiences don't always have to be research/volunteering/medical related (although they usually are)

good luck!
