Hey guys


I'm currently on the waitlist at U of Pitt and NYU
since there is no guarantee to get accepted, I will re apply for next cycle
I have question about personal statement.
Is it ok to use same PS from last year?
I heard most of DS discard my old record. so I think it's ok to use my PS again. but for U of Pitt and NYU will see my PS and compare it to what they got from last year.
If they notice I use same PS again, will it hurt me?
Since I wrote almost every reason why I have to be a dentist in my last PS, there is not that much to fix it.
I'm really confused.

Please let know if anybody had same problem.

Thanks

Is it ok to use same PS from last year? Yes, but don't you want to tell them what you improved from last year, even if it takes to modify one paragraph?

If they notice I use same PS again, will it hurt me? Not really, but again they see the same person they did not give interview or waitlisted last year.

Since I wrote almost every reason why I have to be a dentist in my last PS, there is not that much to fix it. Except for improvement, unless you really did not do anything since last year app.
