Personal Statement Advice

Hi, everyone! Sara here! Just wanted to post a quick note about writing your personal statement...

DON'T BURN OUT!

I'm in the midst of secondaries, and believe me, if you burn out writing your personal statement for the AMCAS app, you'll have very little energy to attack the secondaries. My first secondary arrived at my inbox 2 days after I submitted my AMCAS app. And in the past 9 days, I've received 8 secondaries in total. The secondary questions are specific to each school with some asking for 200 character-long answers and others asking for 5000 character-long answers. So be prepared to write almost daily to get your secondaries turned around quickly!

Best of luck to everyone!
