I had large problem with my personal statement last year. I found information on this site for help with statement and it was great help in getting residency. I matched at my first choice and they mentioned my ps at interview. The person who helped me is name Jenn. She is less priced than all other places i looked online. You can find samples but it help when someone works with you to write ps. Her email is helper66219 and she gets back to you fast with corrections. Here is her email to me with information, hopefully it helps as you all start to write ps for match:
"I edit personal statements, though, I do not write them. In order to have a quality end product, the personal statement needs to have an accurate representation of you at the beginning. My editing process involves me reading and revising your statement along with making suggestions to you for additions or deletions. I pay direct attention to word choice, flow, and grammar. I charge $75 to edit one statement and $25 for each additional statement. I will edit your statement up to three times. Just to let you know a little bit about me. I am an American citizen, born and raised. I have a bachelors and a masters degree in education. I have taught English grammar, reading, and writing to people of all ages. I have helped a number of mainly FMGs perfect their personal statements. As far as I know, everyone that I have helped has been accepted to a residency program."
