Re-apply:use the same personal statement?

Post by zybhlyz » Wed Jul 03, 2019 1:21 am

Hi,

I am re-applying this year.
Would it be ok if I use the same PS I used last year to the same school applied?

Thanks

The general wisdom on this is that you should submit a new PS when you re-apply.

cav is right. I'd lean on the side of safety and write a new PS. I hate writing these things too but it's not that much work at the end of the day - it's only a single short essay.

Is it ok to write about the same topic? My list of potential PS topics wasn't very long to begin with.
