I am re-applying this summer. Do I need to write a brand new essay? I really like the one I have. Can I just re-vamp it?

Either put a different spin to it incorporating new things that you've done or do another one. Medical schools don't like recycled applications. They may still keep your file from last year. So, in theory, they compare.data-ram said:I am re-applying this summer. Do I need to write a brand new essay? I really like the one I have. Can I just re-vamp it?

gujuDoc said:Yes but most people who end up reapplying generally have more volunteer or new experiences to talk about. That's what happens in theory anyways. Plus I've heard adcom people saying that if you are a reapplicant they'd rather you write a new personal statement that incorporates what you've done to strengthen your application.

or should I try to indirectly say it?
