This episode is all about the oh so pivotal, yet oh so daunting personal statement that is required as part of your PA school application on CASPA. A poor personal statement can definitely lower your chances of getting invited for an interview while an amazing personal statement can make all the difference in landing an interview for someone who might not otherwise make the cut. I submitted 2 different personal statements and based on my experience, I have a lot of tips and tricks that will hopefully help make the writing process go more smoothly for you! Whether you're applying this cycle or plan to apply in an upcoming cycle, I believe this episode can give you a lot of insight into what the personal statement is, what PA schools want to see in the personal statement, and how you can present your best self through it! So have a listen and let me know what you think!

I am more than happy to help and advise pre-PAs, whether that means reading over essays/personal statements, reviewing parts of your application, or answering any questions you might have! If you would like to get in touch with me, you can follow me @the.nontraditional.pa_s
