My few cents for next match cycle Match23 based on my experience of application review as a faculty :

1. Don’t leave any section on your application as vacant , it’s red flag when you are being compared

2. First page that show up on our end is your first few pages on CV.1/4

So first impression is last impression. People with double 260s and no awards or no volunteer work or societies gives an impression of unidirectional applicant instead of well versed

3. While reviewing, you are being compared with usually 10 people average so 2/4

So if yours scores are equal with balanced research then we carefully read the personal statement and MSPE to compare the story

4. Write your personal statement as like a story with struggles who crossed the barriers instead of just flowing as doctor in making 3/4

5. Write your Rotation clinical experience in a clear way , in a bullet point , easy to read instead of whole single paragraph.

6. Work equally or even more importantly on CV as you invest energy on Personal statement. Goodluck and stay humble
