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?
 
anyone know of good website that helps edit their personal statement?

I will definately change it to "I"
