AspiringPA21 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 So I applied last cycle (2017-2018) and I was waitlisted at one school after interviewing and I was waitlisted at 2 other schools for an interview. I have treated my waitlist as a rejection and have taken two classes, built up my PCE and continued community service. My question is, I have rewritten my essay slightly and will be applying to all these schools again and I wanted to know if I should include in my essay (since it's going to be seen by multiple schools, including new ones) that I was waitlisted or the fact that this is my second time applying? The only reason I would do this is to show that I am continuing my fight to get into PA school and that I am motivated by applying another round. For the most part my essay is done but if I should include this I want to start making changes now. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxen Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think you should include that this is your second time applying but not necessarily that you were waitlisted. Go into detail about what you did with the extra year and how that has made you into a better applicant than you were last cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
