Hey all, are essays for post-baccs always the same style as Med School application personal statements? I have a friend who basically wants to reuse his AMCAS personal statement.

Thanks for the input!

Not always. If the post-bacc's a SMP program, then you can use your AMCAS essay as is since it's designed to help get you into medical school. Some of my classmates copy-pasted. Others just added a line or two on how they wanted to use the program to help get them into medical/dental/etc school.

You can always call to double-check.
