Using same personal statement for reapplying

So last year i applied for pharmacy and got 4 offers however on results day i rejected my firm as i wanted to take a gap year and wasn't too sure about whether i still wanted to do mpharm however now i am reapplying to the same course and pretty much the same unis. I know i should tweak my personal statement to include my gap year but apart from that can i keep it pretty much the same as i actually do like my personal statement.My grades also do meet the requirements.

Yes, but.you might wish to tweak it a little though, even if its just a sentence or two to mention the GAP ot you could ask your referee to mention it..

Yup, I would add what you did on your gap year and how its relevant to your course. This is very important, also which are your university choices

Nah its fine! I basically did the same thing as you but re used my PS. I was at a uni last year and hated it and transferred to a different uni which was one of my original choices using the same PS
