Essay on PharmCAS

[Brandie28]

Did everyone use like the max character count for the essay on pharmcas?? I only used half but I felt it was short, sweet and to the point. So I don't know if I should add on or just leave as is.

Don't write BS just to fill up space. If you wrote a goof essay only using half of the space then keep it that way.

... and if you feel you wrote a good essay, definitely don't BS for space.

What is the essay topic? I'll be applying next year, so I was just wondering.

^ "Your Personal Essay should address why you selected pharmacy as a career and how the Doctor of Pharmacy degree relates to your immediate and long-term professional goals. Describe how your personal, educational, and professional background will help you achieve your goals. The personal essay is an important part of your application for admission and provides you with an opportunity for you to clearly and effectively express your ideas."

Even though you're applying next year, I would go ahead and make an account on PharmCAS now. You don't have to fill out anything since it won't be saved for next year's application, but you can look around at the application and see what you'll need to get ready by the next cycle.

I went back and read my post and was like 😕 what did I write?

i had 5 characters left. but i used up all my space appropriately. just make sure whatever you are writing means something to you.

lol same here... i tried to put spaces between paragraphs since I can't tab space and I went over the limit, so I went back and just kept it clumped. Hopefully it doesn't matter.
