I'm writing my personal statement right now for my app, and I think it's pretty much done. It's not *done* done, but maybe 95% done. It won't be enter-it-into-the-application-done until all the people I admire eviscerate it and hand it back. I'm always so nervous about having mentors, peers, bosses, anyone I look up to, read my statement. I suppose its because I wrote it from the heart, thinking it sounds great, spilling some personal details about myself, only to be told it sucks and Augh, why would you think that drivel was any good at all! (well, not really, I've never been told it sucks, but I have been told one sounded way too much like a Grey's Anatomy episode. Ouch. Can I help it if I was a creative writer in a previous life?!)
So I'm waiting to hear back from at least four people right now before I'll say it's done. In the meantime, I'm working on my 15 experiences. There's two new ones since my last app, but they're so similar that I think it'd be best to combine them into one experience and use that as one of my "meaningful" experiences (damn, like I'm losing my application virginity or something.)
