ERAS generates a CV for you, so why spend on a paid service for it? And as for the PS, just do it on time and not leave it until the last minute, and you can save the money for something else.

Just do you PS several weeks ahead before you apply so you have time to check it well. You can always use proofreading tools from word processors to aid you. You can also review proper grammar from grammar books you used at highschool.

Also, be careful about any prof. services that help you to write personal statements. Programs really do check to see if it's plagerized. There was one incident this past year. Apparently the person didn't even realize the service/person he got help from plagerized a portion of his p.s.

funny yu mentioned that mvat as one of my friends also said the same thing...thats why i wud say-if yu get it done from a professional guy yu still must then improve on it by adding your own words and thoughts...use the PS from the paid service as a template and work on it. it took me a month and a half to make my PS. i worked on it everyday whenever i got bored of reading...i wud work on it like 20-30 mins everyday and keep adding stuff. so give it time.its not something yu can get done in a day. everytime yu will feel like this is the best PS yu made and the next day something more will come to your mind and by adding that yur PS will look better. thats the way it is. so good luck and enjoy this process too ps: its been some time since i made my PS so now i have something more to add to it
