Third-time re-applicant. I'll spare the long story of my stats, or my first two application cycles, suffice to say I've determined a major weak spot in my personal statement and probably my secondary essays.
Last year I had my PS read by an English / Philosophy grad who gave me (seemingly) great advice and feedback on my essay -- and she herself later got into a great medical school. Unfortunately she was the only one I really had look it over, and no one looked over any my secondary essays.
I'm planning on applying to 35+ schools this third cycle, as it may be my last shot, but the idea of asking anyone to review secondaries for that many schools seems like an impossible ask. Besides maybe my alma mater pre-med committee, I don't really know who else to reach out to or how to get solid (and timely) feedback on my PS or secondaries before i shoot them out.
What resources have worked best for others?
