This sticky will list the SDN members who have volunteered to be personal statement proofreaders for the 2012-2013 cycle. If you would like to volunteer please PM owlegrad with the type of proofreading you are willing to do (grammar, content, style, all of the above, etc). Only pharmacists, pharmacy students, and accepted pharmacy students can be proofreaders. As people volunteer, we will add their name to the list as well as any specific areas the volunteer feels they will especially help with (grammar, content, style, etc.)
To those interested in having your Personal Statement proofread - Please note the following:
- Use caution when deciding where to send your PS - on an anonymous forum, information can easily be plagiarized. Utilize the following list for those willing to proofread personal statements. There really is no guarantee that any user is not a shady character. Bear this in mind when considering sending your PS to a user for proofreading.
Active Proofreaders:

Guidelines:
1. Please do not post your email adress.
2. This is NOT a place to ask for someone to send you a PS, or write your PS for you. We are here to help with suggestions, and proofreading.
