So.... my PS is mainly about how I came to want to become a dentist, my personal experiences, i threw in some resume blah blah
what everyone talks about BUT
I wanted to know if i should tweak or anything for reapplying????

I mean, I just did postbacc courses and continued with some of my ECs nothing crazy to add in there- so should i really edit it or leave as is?

How many of you totally redo or adjust ur PS when reapplying??

thanks guys!

I kept the same one but changed the last paragraph briefly mentioning applying for the second time. No need to change the whole thing if you are confident that it is good.

I have a friend who applied multiple times and she changed it very little, if at all. Her reasoning (which I find to be sound) is how much has really changed in the year since the last application cycle? If there have been some major changes that might benefit your application, definitely add them!

I completely re-wrote mine the 2nd time I applied and got into plenty of schools.

I guess its important to mention that I got multiple acceptances with the same one. 4 acceptances from schools that rejected me the previous year, then a few others. What did I learn? In wasn't my ps that kept me from getting in it was my dat.
