Hi everyone!
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I'm currently in the process of re-applying to medical schools (last time I applied was Summer 2017). Would it hurt me if I used the exact same personal statement that I used last time I applied? It's not like my reasoning for why I want to become a physician has changed at all, and personally I think the story that I told in that essay is very compelling. After having done a 1-year Master's program this past year, I'm just finding it really difficult to incorporate my experience in that program into this essay without completely restructuring/rewriting the essay.
Also, I read somewhere that if I am a re-applicant, it would be a good idea to change the descriptions(?) of the Work/Activities sections of the application...is there any truth to this?
Appreciate any advice I can get! Thanks everyone!
