Did this happen to anyone else? I hope it's not a big deal It's not a big deal. They stated they only wanted a few sentences for that part of the supplemental anyways Edited January 18, 2019 by Potatolife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no fluff. I don't think I could say why UDM in only a few sentences lol. I'm sure its okay (hopefully). Thanks for your help!

I couldn't write why UDM in a couple sentences either. If the limit is 5000 then I don't think they expect everyone to write a paragraph or two. If they cared that much about it, they would make the limit shorter than 5000 characters. I think we will be okay, try not to worry too much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing, it’s been a few weeks now since we submitted our applications, how is everyone else holding up? Based on previous cycles, seems like interview requests should be happening soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really laid back and conversational but know what a PA does, why you want to be a PA, and why UDM. They will base the following questions off of those responses.
