I worked on my PS for a month, let a couple of people read it, make sure there is no mistake. Mine was about my journey. You have to have something important, interesting that stand out. Not just i grew up here, went to school here, want to become a doctor, now, that is just toooooo plain and boring.
The best way to see if your PS is good is write it, let someone read it, 2-3 persons, see what they think and go from there. Unfortunately, I cant tell you what to write. Good luck

I have similar situation and only have two IVs so far. I donot believe there is a guy who can help me or someone else. People already post their tips. follow these tips and be strong and have a backup plan. this is my protocol just in case i can not match this year.
PDs usually do not look at PS until 5 min before the interview. A descent PS could help you get IVs, however, being accepted depents on how the IV goes.
Besides those tips there is something else like beauty helps.
I have a friend who used to be a candicate of Miss Japanese get IVs because of her PS. The title of Miss japanese also helps her get marriage with a powerful man in medical feild during the waiting time for residency. Beauty does help to get in residency and even more.
I have low scores and not beautiful. where is my hope? who knows? the only thing I can do so far is be strong and be prepared for anything either matched or unmatched. Additionally residency is not the end of world.
I also do not know why i typed so much. It could be due to the damn stress. Be kind if I said something wrong.
