Please move me to temporarily unavailable. If you haven't heard back from me yet, I will get your PS's back to you asap.
hi all...so I am new to this forum...recently decided about going to medical school so just starting the process...i was happy to see that i can actually get help here with the process...I am having a thought time with my personal statement so I thought I would ask for help
To say a little about me...I am at UPENN, have a gpa of 3.7 overall and science and taking MCATs in a month...I have always been good at taking tests so I am not worried as much about the MCATs, more with the rest of my application...I have basicallt done all science in college and have very little experience with writing decent essays ans such...i am close to finishing my personal statement and was wondering who I would contact to have it proofread...I welcome any opinions on it as eveyrhting is helpful...as I said I have a lot of problems wiht writing essays, and not being from US originally doesn't help either...and help wiht content, syntax, grammar or anything else woudl eb greatly appreciated?
so waht should i do now (lol)?
Could anyone please post a link to every reader's profile? It's inconvenient to dig out this thread to find them.....

I emailed several ppl off of the current list last week and got no response, so I figured I'd try here. Is there anyone out there to read and edit?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
suggestion for PS writers- when you email your personal statements to readers, put your SDN user name in the document title to make it easier

Definitely. Thank you (I usually save all the PSes to my computer under the username for editing, then I delete after I've edited it).
I posted a thread about getting help with my personal statement and actually got a willing reader. That thread has been replaced by the readers list and lost that volunteer. I'm still getting no responses to my PMs to those available on that list.... what to do?
Thanks in advance.

I just want to give a suggestion to people who're wanting to have their PS's read. Some of the readers might disagree with me, but you get to see my opinion anyway.
When I was reading statements last year, I strongly preferred that the person send me a Word document rather than paste a copy of the statement into a PM. The PM system screws up the formatting like crazy and can make editing a real chore. Emailing doc files back and forth, however, is no sweat. I had posted my gmail account in this thread, so obtaining a reader's email account may require an extra step for most. Perhaps it will be worthwhile on both ends. It's also generally more courteous to ask if someone will read your PS rather than asking with an attached copy, not that manners are really that important since attaching the PS in the first go really does save a a decent amount of effort on both people's parts. Just a thought.
Anyone available to read? I was gonna PM mmmcdowe but it looks like they have enough on their plate! PM me or let me know!
Thanks
quick question:
when it says 5300 characters does it include spaces or not?
