Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it is okay to use quotes in your PS. For example, quoting something a doctor or patient says. I think it helps personalize your PS by introducing a sort of dialogue. What do you guys think? I have already gotten my PS reviewed by a handful of people (med students, grad students, professors, TAs, PI, and a resident). The only person that brought this up was the resident. He said that I should avoid quoting anyone because adcoms don't like that. Is this true? I know it may not be seem good to quote a book or movie or something. But, I am quoting something a doctor or patient said directly to me and it contributes to my overall theme. What do you guys think?
