Should I entirely rewrite my personal statement or change my existing one?

absolutely write an entirely new one. not doing so shows lack of care

But what if I absolutely loved my old statement? Do you think it'd be a good idea to just revise it?

If you like it leave it as is. I honestly doubt that someone is really going to notice.

Don't do this.

I've looked through old posts and I guess this is an ongoing debate.

What if you're applying to different schools this cycle than the last cycle? Would it be their first time seeing your personal statement?

At least change it SOME.
