So, how many of you spent weeks perfecting your personal statement...

...only to find one sentence that still sounds a little strange after you've finally submitted your application?

Burns me up.

its not my PS, but i spent a good 2 weeks on a secondary essay...only to submit it late last night and notice this morning i had a typo..."an" when it was supposed to be "a". just bugs me because i saw there were no red squiggles in word, but guess was too tired to see the green one.

I spent 3 months carefully crafting every single line. When I was done puring my heart and soul into my PS, I gave it to my mother, a senior marketing director at Hartford Financial, who took it and made it even better.

I then spent $150 to have a professional med school editing service go over it and make it even stronger.

I can honestly say my PS is the greatest piece of writing that I have ever done. I just hope its enough.

Trust me, I wouldn't have looked at my personal statement again until interviews if it wasn't for my TMDSAS application.

Damn Texas

i spent a total of three days on mine; one to type it up and two days to edit

I think I spent several months on my PS thinking about every word, sentence and paragraph and how they all fit within what I wanted to say. It was probably the most passionate, greatest thing I've ever written (and I'm a pretty damn strong writer). It got a lot of kudos on the interview trail (except for one ******* at GW, but I don't want to talk about it).

Just saw that you're interested in USUHS--good luck! I interviewed there and I wouldv'e gone had I not gotten into the my #1. It's a really sweet deal being paid 60k a year to go to med school and being apart of the armed forces.

i spent a long time too, my essay is kind of deep, philosophical, and introspective. i don't use a death of a loved one or a personal disease. i'm counting on it to make me stand out.

Seriously, at this point its just in one ear and out the other. No one can be that neurotic, right?? At this point it can't even be trolling or a joke, kinda lost its effect.
