Last year, I asked a friend of mine to read over my personal statement for my AMCAS application. It's not that she's a great writer, but I wanted to get her feedback because I respected her opinion.
Recently, she asked me to read over her personal statement for law school. I was adding my comments into the document until I came to the last paragraph. I was then shocked to realize that she took three sentences from my AMCAS personal statement and basically changed "medicine" to "law" and "physician to lawyer." It's pretty clear, at least to me, that the part she took from me does not mesh with the overall quality of the statement.
What would you do in this situation?
