Personal Statement

Hey there,
I'm pretty proud of my personal statement, not so much of my grades... I'm applying to a couple of special masters programs because I know I can do better than how I did in college. Should I use the same personal statement I used for AMCAS, or should I add a blurb about why I am a good candidate for the SMP (upward trend, worked a lot in college...)? Any thoughts?

Always tailor your personal statement to the specific program if you can.

I am going to second this statement, but also say that I know for Georgetown at least they will not think at all less of you if you use your exact AMCAS.
