Hey! Could someone pleeeeease tell me if it's okay to submit a separate page with the essays, instead of typing them onto the application??? Is there a length limit? lost and confused....
 
When I did the PCOM application...I called them and asked them if I could attach additional sheets and they said yes so I attached, I think 3 sheets...and I have an interview there this week. Hope this helps.

you should definately call ahead and ask them. Some schools hate added sheets with the secondaries. From speaking to a bunch of admissions people and med students I have found that most schools would prefer you to keep within the space provided. It makes reading them easier and at this point we should be trying to make them happy, right. But call them and if it's ok, go for it. Good Luck!!!
