mmeldrim Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Personal Essay. All applicants are encouraged to provide a one-page essay offering personal information not found elsewhere in the application. NOTE: This personal essay is intended to supplement, not duplicate or replace, the required CASPA Personal Statement. anybody else struggling with this prompt? I have no clue what to write that isn't already in my CASPA already. Do people usually talk about sports and such here? Any suggestions? I ended up calling them to see if they would clarify a bit. The admission office said you can really write about what you want but to include why you want to go to uw madison specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mncourtney Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I wrote about athletics and how that has shaped me as a person, and also how it has helped prepare me for PA school and the profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mncourtney Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I interviewed for Madison this year but was put on the alternate list and denied when the class filled. Anxious to give it another try! Hi! If you don't mind, would you be able to PM me your stats? I'm interested to see if I'll be competitive!

JohnnyM2 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Does anyone know if this school accept AP credit for prereqs?You should call them and ask. I would be surprised if that were at all acceptable but, hey, I'm no expert. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mah Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I am applying from illinois to both de and on campus option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tavenne323 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Does anyone know, if I apply to both the DE and on campus do admissions assume if prefer DE? DE is my first choice, and I want to be considered for that first. But, if I don't get accepted to that I would want to be considered for the on-campus program.

jasmineirene Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I spoke to admissions regarding the seperate tracks. Apply to all you are interested in. They are evaluated individually and you may recieve an interview for one or the other or all of them. But they aren't looked at in terms of your preference. They are evaluated individually and if you are offered a spot in both you get to choose. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckybrain Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Just a reminder to everyone, interview invites won't be sent until middle of December. They've been consistent with that for the past years (Dec 15 last year). Good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
