In this episode, I review my experience using Chat GPT to generate personal statements for radiology and neurosurgery. I share some of the generated content and my thoughts on it, as well as how I plan to use it to structure my own personal statements. While some of the generated content was a bit dry and repetitive, I found it helpful in identifying themes and ideas to include in my own writing. Overall, I think Chat GPT is a powerful tool that can be used to jumpstart the writing process, but it still requires some polishing and personalization.  If you are in the middle of writing a personal statement, I highly suggest downloading my free personal statement guide jam packed full of amazing tips for writing personal statements.
