william208 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I got rejected from Stanford last year after an interview. Im currently re-applying and was wondering if it was okay to reuse the same personal statement with some minor retouching here and there? My personal statement already clearly defines who I am and why I wanted to go the PA route. I feel as if my essay is almost at the best of my abilities because I've had over 3 people already help me proofread it and give me suggestions. I would be lying if I changed the story around so what should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agallione Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've talked to a few admissions directors and they've said it's okay to reuse the personal statement, I used the same foundation that I used for last year; but updated it with healthcare experiences/things I've done over the past year. You should be okay. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koppelcutt Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Are you going to re-apply this year for classes in 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykieu Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 confirmation needed: so we can totally use the same personal statement but just update it with HCE and other things that needs to be updated right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalPA Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I would imagine that you are a different candidate than you were a year ago. I would not use the same statement personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The personal statement shoudn't be viewed as just checking a box, like making sure you have your W2 attached to your tax return. It's really the only unstructured submission you have to get an interview. If you wrote one last year that was great, then use it. But be sure to revisit it first and be sure you don't have anything you'd like to add or change. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjimi Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 To reapply after you got rejected! Do you need to start a brand new application or is there a different application for students that want to reapply?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
