Hi Chronic,
I'm thinking of starting on mine this summer for C/O 2019 as well. If you are still looking for someone, I'd be interested. I'm doing an online summer grad class that's taking up a bunch of my time right now, so I would probably shoot for having a draft done by June 30. Thoughts?

Sounds great! Send me a message when you have it finished and we can swap. If anybody else has drafts they would like to exchange in the meantime, PM me.

Also interested in swapping PS. Send me a PM, and I'll reply with mine.

I am a non-traditional student (middle age, MBA, lots of professional work experience) and would like to swap personal statements for critique.
Looking for a quick turn-around and I will do the same for you.

I have had one taker and got some really helpful feedback.
I could really use another pair of eyes to take a critical look at my p.s. Anyone?

Would like to swap personal statements with you. Be gentle with me, though.
This goes for other individuals in the thread.

I'm nearly finished with my first draft and I'd love to get some blunt perspectives from strangers.
Also I'd be more than happy to read and comment on other statements.

Please send me yours first! Then I will send you mine after I edit yours.

I am happy to look over anyone's statements, personal, diversity or otherwise. I will be doing 40 hours of reception work next week and mostly just sit around at a computer so it would really be doing me a favor.
