wrestler133 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just finished writing my personal statement for the UC Davis PA program and it is five paragraphs and about 1200 words in length. I was wondering if this is too lengthy or if a wordy personal statement is better than a brief one? How long were some of your guys' personal statements. Some feedback would be awesome, thanks.

bradyg007 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 which PS? The CASPA one? Mine was close to the max at 4992 characters, 5 paragraphs.....We wont have to do supplemental essays unless we have an interview invite. Did you get an invite already?

wrestler133 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 The CASPA one, how long does the UC Davis one have to be? I haven't submitted all my stuff yet, I'm still in the process of finishing the 1000 HCE hours, I'll be done at the end of the week with the 1000 hours, just wanted to have everything done before applying.

MEM-PATC Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 When I was applying I think I was within a few words of the limit. 5000 words isn't all that long, so I don't think there's anything wrong with using it if you need the space to say what you want to say. It's your biggest opportunity to let ad. committees get to know you as something more than a GPA and transcript, so make use of the space is my advice.

bradyg007 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 UC Davis requests a supplemental app for interview invitees so you may have to do another one. I sent my CASPA app to UC Davis 6/5 so I've been waiting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my CASPA app to UC Davis 6/5 so I've been waiting!! oh lord I'm barely applying this Friday near the deadline due to me wanting to barely get over the 1000 hour HCE requirement with my current job. I really hope that does not reflect negatively on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 They don't work off of rolling admissions so you should be ok in the timeline aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler133 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 one question, I just submitted my CASPA application today after I got all my letters of recommendation and barely got over 1000 HCE hours with my current job, but I read that it takes forever for the CASPA application to be verified and sent to the school which has a deadline of September 1st, am I pretty much screwed???
