paproof Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Start off discussing the events surrounding your father's heart attack if that's what piqued your interest in medicine. At no point do you discuss why it is you want to be a PA though... something to think about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoYouKnow Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, Kelcie! At this point, I'm just waiting for April to roll around so I can start applying. I just finished retaking the GRE to get better scores, and I'm finishing up the last of my prerequisites. Have you been applying this current cycle, or will the next one opening in April be your first round as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfrid Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I would consider taking some time, even if it's brief, to mention why a PA vs. MD vs. NP. Polish your essay a little bit and maybe try to organize where you put things and remove sentences that do not add anything to your statement. It's got some good bones though, keep up the great work!

EMTSS Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I would like to share my personal statement experience for PA school. I moved to the US 6 years ago and I do not speak English like most applicants do. I had a very hard time preparing my personal statement so I decided to seek help online with PS editing services that are offered. If you are one of those candidates that are looking to purchase PS editing services, please read: I spent a lot of money with DLA editors thinking they will help me write the best personal statement ever. Little did I know, when we were done and I had friends read it everyone said "are you going for Doctor or PA?". Long story short, yes they know what they are doing, BUT NOT FOR PA SCHOOLS. They are clueless of what PA schools look for. Next, I Invested more money in mypapersonalstatement.com ... disaster. They found nothing wrong with my PS. Clueless again. Next, I invested even more money with mypatraining.com to help me with my CASPA application. The gentleman misspelled words. Need I say more? I did so much research and I just couldn't get the service I wanted. I had found myparesource.com and told myself I will save them for last because they seem to know what they are doing. Let me tell you. I applied to 2 programs only. I got interview invitations to BOTH. The Personal Statement EDITING services they have is phenomenal and I recommend to ANYONE who is looking for a little help with theirs. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY PERSONAL STATEMENT and they made it happen. They guided me through it. So if you are looking to spend money, be smart and use myparesource.com and do nottttt waste ANY MONEY on all these websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelciejag Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 @TheGatorGrok Wanted to ask you what you thought about the GRE? How did you study first time compared to this time? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoYouKnow Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 @TheGatorGrok Wanted to ask you what you thought about the GRE? How did you study first time compared to this time? thanks. I found the quantitative section to be the most challenging, but it all depends on your personal strengths and weaknesses. The first time I took the GRE, I took it "cold" to see how I felt about the material, and to get an idea on what to focus on - study wise. The second time, I purchased the Magoosh study plan for one month and increased my score by six points. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
