I don't think asking strangers on the interwebz to critique your personal statement, even if personal info is removed, is a good idea. If I were you, I'd ask close family members or a pre-health advisor for opinions. Besides, DAT and GPA trump all.

I don't see anything wrong with it, but I would highly recommend making sure that the people that are doing so are accepted in order reduce the likelihood of any parts being used elsewhere.
 
I'll take a look at it. I was accepted on December 1st, so no worries on the plagiarizing front. In fact, I've already edited a few personal statements, so I'd be happy to help! Just PM me.
 
Plagarism will be the biggest problem of asking people on a forum to help you edit. However, majority of the people here will have either been accepted already or is in the wait process so I will say that it may be okay.

I will not be giving detailed critique but if you want me to rate it, you can always message me your PS.
 
The best thing to do would be to take it to your school's writing center or give it to you Lit or English professor.
