Just wondering what I should include in my PS since the limit hinders putting lots of detail in it. Should it be focused more on achievements and attributes or more on WHY you want to be a pharmacist... Just curious to know what should be the main topic of the PS.

Thanks

Wow. I had no idea that there was a different prompt each application cycle! I thought you were supposed to just explain why you choose pharmacy, etc. So, looks like I will have to wait until it opens to start!

Exactly. However..........

PROMPT: "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. 4500 characters/1 page, including spaces"

So, should you focus on why you want to be a farmie or achievements? C'mon mang. You use your achievements and attributes to back up why you want to be a farmie.
