In your experience, do you recommend letting people who are in your personal life to read and edit your personal statement for PA school or paying for an editing service?

I will be applying to PA school in 2027, but because I actually don't know any PAs in my life or have any mentors, I am a little lost. I get conflicting advice from people who don't know what I'm going through or who don't have insight into PA school. If any of you are open to mentorship, I would definitely be glad

How can I write a genuine personal statement, without making it feel too cliche?

I feel like personal statements can either feel too cliche, where there's too much trauma-dumping, however I feel like setbacks are what make every humans experience unique. So how can I write about hardships, without making it seem like a trauma-dump with no consistency?
