1. Don't read any personal statements before you write the first draft. It is like watching a movie before reading the novel. You will be wrecking your original ideas. It will act as a guardrail to your flow of thought.

last week my surgery attending asked me what specialty i want to go into and i briefly threw out peds and she was like "you should consider doing a bit of research so you can be competitive for peds" Little does she know I'm about to leave clinical year to do a whole PhD 😅
