I have just copleted my personal statement, and as I read it over, I realize that there is not much in it about my love for optometry. It mainly discusses the path which I took to get to wanting to be an OD as opposed to an MD, and why optometry would be a good fit for me. But I don't talk that much about optometry itself (ex: my love for vision sciences). Should I change this? How much of your personal statemnt should be devoted directly to showing how much you love optometry? I mainly focused on why optometry would be better than MD for me.
Also, I have only shadowed one OD (private practice) for about 10 hrs? Is this enough, or should I also consider shadowing another OD? Those who have been accepted so far seem to have had alot of exposure.
Thanks.
