I've been working on my PS and was scouring the internet for tips when I found this interesting article in Annals of Int Med all about personal statements, plagiarism, the rise of editing services, and the purposes and predictive values of PSs in general. Near the end, the authors even imply that perhaps it is time to scratch the PS altogether from the admissions process in favor of other, more reliable predictors of success.
Can't say that I'm experienced enough to really have an opinion one way or the other, but what do you all think? I'd especially like to hear from some of you who are on the other side here and get to read PS/interview. One thing I know is that this process would certainly be a LOT different (better or worse, I can't say) without the personal statement..
