Although they said we can just use our CASPA essay, I feel like I have to write a whole new essay to better align their personal statement prompt. & the diversity statement sounds like a whole new essay.

Same here, I'm really tempted to write a whole new essay specific to Davis, but I know on previous forums and on the How to Apply link they included, they want it to be similar to the CASPA essay, just cut down to 4000 characters rather than 5000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how likely it is to be accepted if I am offered a supplemental application post interview? I think it is hard to say, during my interview they said they don't have specific numbers of how many people get invited to do the supplemental etc so I think it just depends on how they feel about the people interviewed but I know the class goal is around 65 this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incoming class is going to be 65 students so take that as you will. Edited November 5, 2020 by Mmram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m personally keeping mine because they said you can use your CASPA essay and just pare it down. I think people have done this in past years. I feel like they have already looked at our personal statement so I don’t know if much will change from what they have already seen Edited November 18, 2020 by PrePA0410 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of doing this, but I just ended up using my CASPA essay and cutting some parts out of it. It says in the handout we can do this. It's too difficult to address that entire prompt with the amount of characters we were given. Plus, I think that question is more for research based graduate programs. It's asking what faculty you'd want to work with as your advisor to do research with, which we won't be doing in this program. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, I think the graduate application is very general for all programs and other programs don’t have a secondary application like CASPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliyahBell Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 They told us in the interview that they don’t start reading the statements until December 1st. We should know by mid-end of December. No later than Dec 31st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
