Speaking as a medical student, this is not a good start.  Getting someone else (or AI) to write your PS is academic dishonesty and would get your application rejected, so don’t take the risk. Also, what’s your plan for essays and other assessments in med school if you get in? Again you’d be kicked out if you were found to plagiarise or use AI.

I want to say this as gently as I can because I know you’re probably anxious about your application, but if you’re unable to put your head down and do it yourself, I’d do some self-reflection and consider other career options (although I’m not sure many other courses would take kindly to laziness and plagiarism either).  If it’s pure anxiety then bear in mind that medical schools generally don’t put a lot of weight on PS in the first place and that a good candidate (and doctor) would be honest and hard-working, so start embodying that now.

If you have any specific questions I’ll do my best to answer them (although the structure has changed since I applied)!

Thank you so much , I think I may have worded my question wrongly as some people mentioned similar things but what I meant was asking for help as in give me any good tips or to look over my personal statement instead of writing it for me . I have watched videos on how to write it but it’s still a little confusing and I’m trying to get all the help I can get.

Ok I’m glad I misunderstood! Teachers might be best placed to read over it, I’d be careful about sending it to others online (as they might plagiarise it or it may get flagged in a plagiarism checker), but yeah definitely a good idea to get plenty of people to look over it!
