Hi all,

I was wondering if it would be okay to write my PS in the second person ("you")? The entire PS is about me and my experiences described using 'you'. I know this is an unconventional approach given that first person is what is generally recommended, but I wanted to know if using the second person is a risk worth taking (given that everything else in my PS flows smoothly)? Would the use of second person turn off Adcom immediately?

I will definately change it to "I"
