123 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I've had my personal statement reviewed a couple times and have gotten most of the obvious "main idea" problems fixed. I can certainly do more but at what point do you say "I'm done"? Everyone has different opinions on what details I should elaborate on/ get rid off and I feel like if I were to take everyone's advice than I would be changing too much of my PS. I'm sure there will always be something that someone can critique about my PS and I'm wondering at what point do you stop asking for feedback and just submit it? Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HanSolo Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 You will always find something you want to change. Everyone will have a different opinion on when they feel "done." I think the more you revise it, though, the better off it generally is. Don't just stop with having good content. Make sure it flows well, there are no grammatical mistakes, and things are properly structured. Sometimes that little stuff can take 4-5 more revisions. Personally, I will always find something to critique. I know I am about done when it gets down to the nitpick stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastudentw Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 If you are asking this question, could that possibly signal you have reached that stage where you call it? There will and should always be things to touch up but at some point you just submit it and call it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all I totally agree with @pastudentw. If you are asking this question, I think you might be done! If someone else sent you the personal statement you have written, what would you tell them?

EKPA Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I probably read mine at least once every night for about 2 months before I submitted it. It really helped to view it from different perspective, depending on my mood that day and whether I've had a few beers or not. I just kept going until the rest of my application was ready to be submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah I think I maybe have reached that point. Only thing left now are some grammar issues to fix up and maybe reword certain sentences so it flows better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidSmith Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Well, it was not that easy for me to reach the point "I'm done". That was the main reason why I went for the help not to the forum but to the professional online writing service. I think that you would need to do the same since you worry about the grammar and other minor mistakes. Yo may check how well the writers from Marvelous essay service can edit your work.
