I about to finish my personal statement, however I do have a question. Is putting too many quotes of famous people a good idea in the personal statement? Esp. for somebody who does not havethe best GPA in the world??

If your ps is good enough, and especially if your gpa isn't the best in the world, you must not put those quotes in.

I can hear it already... "Mother Teresa once said..." Don't you think that seems a little cliche? Can you try and say what you want to say without quoting this person? Let it be your own thoughts, not someone elses. I'd say, if you have to put it in there, it's probably not that important. But, that's just me.

I dunno, do you think its ok to swallow watermellon seeds if you scored below a 33 on the Mcat?

In all seriousness its prob best to not use quotes at all; they have a max character count; dont waste it on something that will come across as fluff....
