Essay Questions/Personal Statement
I explained my unique situation (took me 6 years to complete my undergrad for a reason!), I wrote as much as I could in the little space provided about how my experience and dedication outweighs my not-so-competitive GPA – and it got me an interview, which then led me to eventually being accepted into my dream school!!
