Personal Statement Readers

[animalrie]

I don't know if a recent thread has been made (I couldn't find one by searching), but I figured we could get a list going of people willing to read personal statements, even if it is a tad bit early in the game (applying for 2016 entrance). I'm definitely needing someone to look over mine as I'm planning on sending it to my LOR writers early. And I can contribute as a reader in the future (once I have something worth contributing ). So, assuming I didn't miss a previous thread on this, who is amazing and gracious enough to read personal statements?

Edit:
To make this process easier and ensure that PS readers who are no longer available to help don't continue to receive PMs, I've borrowed the instructions from the Allo PS reader thread.

For current readers, read the most recent post!

From Pre-Allo:
DO NOT ERASE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
1) Click "quote" on the most recent post.
2) Add your SDN screen name, your credentials, and specific things you are willing to edit for (content only, grammar only, etc). DO NOT post your email address.
3) Delete the quote tags at both the top and the bottom.
4) If you are unable to read any more personal statements, please come back and remove your name from the list.

Example:
Username | Vet student | focus on grammar/readability/content/etc | any other pertinent info

I would be happy to read and give feedback. I tend to be pretty harsh while editing, it's the writer in me - but I try to keep it more constructive and less critical!

 

[Njnealon]

Hey! I'd be glad to read for people. I'm good with grammar editing, and eliminating wordiness. Feel free to email me at njnealon@ gmail.com

 

[Hopeful_DVM]

I would be glad to read some. Not in vet school yet.....but had quiet a bit of experience with writing personal statements in my undergrad Animal Science Career prep class.

 

[animalrie]

I'm bumping this so us c/o 2020 applicants can get some help Just to be sure, is there anywhere else where current PS Readers are listed? I know Allo has one but no vet students there...

 

[RS1]

I'll read too! Message me.

 

[HowIMetYourPet]

I'll read this time around I had some people read for me, so I'll pay it forward

 

[animalrie]

Since apparently there is not a current thread for this in Pre-Vet, I edited my original post to include some (hopefully helpful) instructions.

If you want to add/remove yourself from the list, just quote this post and edit it in your next post. Hopefully this works!

beatles1964- VM-2 student- When it comes to proofreading, I usually ask people what they'd like me to focus on. I can make suggestions for improvement with smaller, nit-picky things like grammar and word choice, but can also give advice regarding overall flow and structure. Sometimes I can be sorta harsh when it comes to finding minor grammar flaws that can be tweaked here and there, but I definitely take the time to read and reread sentences to make sure things make sense. I will have time to devote to reading anytime between now and when applications are due, but please be mindful of the VMCAS deadline.

Also and @beatles1964 I'm a huge Beatles fan myself! (and 60's music in general). I'm always really partial to Abbey Road when studying for finals... what about you? Do you have a favorite album, or Beatles time period?

haha, that's awesome! Yeah, the Beatles are great. I've been to more tribute concerts and festivals than I can count. I can't listen to them when I study because I end up singing and not studying, or I end up getting super distracted and picking up my guitar. I can't pick a favorite album... I do really like their early albums (Hard Days Night, Help, Meet the Beatles, Please Please Me), especially those associated with their movies, but I'm just as much a fan of their later stuff. Abbey Road is definitely a classic.

[WildZoo]

@SummerTheLynx is an awesome PS reader, I know from personal experience Much of that flurry of writing and revision has left my brain, but I'd say one of the most helpful things he did was help with rewording so that I could get in under the character limit. That was quite the task.

The early albums are great too, I love hearing how their sound evolved over time. I've been to a bunch of tribute festivals myself too! Glad someone else enjoys them! Have you ever been to The Fest? I went a few years ago, for an afternoon, and it was awesome! So many Beatles fans in one place, and lots of live music, speakers, and even a John Lennon art exhibit. I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance.

Bumping this since I got a request to read a personal statement even though I am not listed for this year. Sorry, I can't read personal statements right now, but this is the place to find who can read personal statements.

I applied to a lot of schools on the east coast, and California if that helps. Also, I'm in a combined program (PhD) so I can help if anyone has a question about supplemental essays, etc along that line! Also fun fact: I'm teach ACT english, so I can help a lot with grammar, syntax, and other mechanics. I'd be glad to help all of you, good luck and happy writing!

stealthoscope | Cornell vet school c/o 2019 | I love writing and critiquing, and would be happy to give your personal statement a look! I do tend to be pretty harsh when editing, but it's only because that's the kind of critique I most value receiving for my own writing. I want to help you make sure that your personal statement really portrays to your readers the kind of person you are, and the kind of doctor you hope to be Also happy to send general advice or tips if you have any questions!

beatles1964 |VM-2 student | When it comes to proofreading, I usually ask people what they'd like me to focus on. I can make suggestions for improvement with smaller, nit-picky things like grammar and word choice, but can also give advice regarding overall flow and structure. Sometimes I can be sorta harsh when it comes to finding minor grammar flaws that can be tweaked here and there, but I definitely take the time to read and reread sentences to make sure things make sense. I will have time to devote to reading anytime between now and when applications are due, but please be mindful of the VMCAS deadline.
