Monica Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Dear Aliza, I have an interview with UF this coming week. Would you mind giving me a general idea of the essay you had to write? Was it related to health, personal, ethics, etc? And how much time was given? Thank you! Good luck at your Wake Forest interview! Hi Christine, Don't forget about the 'private message' feature where you can send other members specific questions/msgs and that there is also a special forum set up for 'UF' as well. You can start a new thread there if you need to ask a question about the program. This thread is a 'sticky' where others can see info on the statistics of prospective PA applicants. Thanks & welcome to the PA Forum.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
