having issues starting your personal statement?
I get it; this feels like the most daunting part of the application process. However, your personal statement is SO important. Most of the CASPA application is boring information, including pre-requisite courses, healthcare experiences, and general demographics. The personal statement is the one area of the application you are able to show who you are and demonstrate your personality. It allows the admissions reader to better understand why you want to be a PA and all of your life experiences that led you to this pivotal moment of finally applying. As a PA myself, we have all been there and know how hard you have worked to get to this moment. I love to learn about my clients pre-PA journey, and the admissions reader feels the same!
what is the personal statement writing challenge?
I love a challenge personally, it helps hold me accountable. And I noticed when working with my clients this week all of them have been focusing on their personal statement writing. They have me so I hold them accountable, however, I was thinking about all the pre-PAs out there and how they could better organize themselves and have accountability.
The goal of the challenge is to help you write your personal statement over a 2 month span with prompts for each portion. By the end of the challenge, you should have a fully written personal statement that has been edited by friends/editors throughout the process.
why now?
I specifically planned for this challenge to be from February 1st to April 1st because the CASPA opens in April. The personal statement takes arguably the longest out of all of the application pieces to write. While supplemental essays that are program specific are also important, the personal statement provides the biggest insight into who you are. So we want to make sure we give it the time and respect it deserves.
ready, set, write!
