Residency Personal statement panic

[scio]

Ive searched for advice on personal statements and I found a personal statement readers for pre-medical. Is there a list of people willing to read personal statements for ERAS or is there anyone here that would be willing to read my personal statement? I know its a little late to ask about this, but I had some personal issues come up that delayed my ability to finish the statement.

I have read PS for fellowships and residency. I could provide some general comments.

I wrote a personal statement to end all personal statements and had only one interviewer comment on it. For fellowship I wrote mine in 5 minutes.

Nobody reads them thoroughly enough. Don't fret.

My advice is always not to try to stand out with your PS. Nobody is going to shed a tear from your PS or relate to you deeply on some emotional level. These get skimmed in 20 seconds. If you try and write a literary masterpiece it is more likely to come across as strange than relate able. Write something generic that fits on a single page and be done.

Modified my medical school one into residency into fellowship.

For interviews, I'd skim them to make sure the person wasn't crazy. They typically all sound the same.

Personal Statement:

“I want to be an anesthesiologist because I’m really lazy and want to make a lot of money.”

The end.
