Episode 8: What to Work On Now If You're Applying This Cycle + How to Write CASPA Experience Descriptions The Nontraditional Physician Assistant (PA) Podcast

- Medicine
If you're gearing up to apply to PA schools this cycle, this episode covers a lot of useful information! In this episode of the Nontraditional PA Podcast, I go over what you can be working on now to ensure early submission of your best PA school application, and I offer an in-depth look at how to craft strong descriptions in the experiences section of CASPA.
The experiences section is a pivotal part of your PA school application. Through it, schools get to learn a lot more about you, your personality, and what's important to you, so you definitely want to spend some quality time on your descriptions and make your experiences stand out when admissions committees review them. On a personal note, it took me a ton of time to get all my information together and to write my descriptions, so the earlier you get started on them, the earlier you will have your application complete and ready to submit. And if you are applying to schools with rolling admissions, applying early is key! If this episode truly motivates you, know that you can even get started with making your CASPA account and typing your descriptions in now before the next cycle opens, and they will still be there for the upcoming cycle! **Helpful hint: Always save everything you write in another document though, just in case!! ** Good luck to all of you who are getting ready to apply!! =)
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 email me at kamaha.kirsten@gmail.com or follow me on Insta @the.nontraditional.pa_s.
