Holly1483 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I just received my secondary invite! I’m so excited! Does anyone know if everyone receives the secondary if they interviewed or how many secondary app invites there are? Good luck to everyone! Everything happens for a reason, and I know we will all accomplish our dreams if we keep aiming for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said we can do that but if I do that then my essay is 1,000 characters over so I spent over an hour editing it just so it would fit into the statement of purpose question!

That's what I heard too! Are you going to address your "fit for pursuing graduate study at UC Davis" in your statement of purpose essay?

Are you going to address your "fit for pursuing graduate study at UC Davis" in your statement of purpose essay? I'm literally copying and pasting my personal statement and using it as my statement of purpose like they told us to do/we can do. However, I had to spend over an hour editing it to cut it down by 1,000 characters so it would fit the statement of purpose question.

singingmango Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 As long as they don’t overlap, it should be fine, I think. That way, you can use the space to highlight new parts of your app not looked at before or emphasize parts you think are important. Good luck everyone!!

msfuturepa Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I called the admissions office today and they said we can just copy/paste CASPA into the statement of purpose, but make sure it’s under 4000 characters. We do not need to address the “fit for pursuing graduate study at UC Davis” or faculty. For the diversity statement, we can expand on the topics mentioned in the statement of purpose to answer the prompt. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroNate24 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 For the CV, are you guys including non-healthcare employment? In the directions it says include "professional activities", so I'm wondering if we need to mention non healthcare employment. Thanks!

Caligal Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hey everyone, current student here! You can copy & paste your personal statement from CASPA for your statement of purpose and yes, you will have to cut some stuff out to meet the 4000 character requirement. As for the diversity statement, this is a chance for you to show admissions a more personal side of you, what made you who you are and how you got there, the challenges you overcame, and etc. Just build off on your personal statement and you’ll know where to start! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachaelM Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Wanted to see what everyone thoughts are, CV or Resume? So far half the applicants I have spoken with vote Resume and the other half CV. What is everyone learning towards? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm submitting a resume because I don't have any research experience or publications. I think it's okay to have either CV or resume. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
