I am just curious to those who have written or are currently writing for the prompt... Is anyone actually using all 4500 words? 9 pages?

I can see going a little long but 9 pages is a ton of room to answer the prompt.
 
Ah, lol!

Never mind then, that will go significantly more quickly!

I was copying various essay prompts out of the APTA site and added the PTCAS essay to it, and I wrote "4500 words" instead of characters... Then when I went back to verify a couple of days ago the application was closed.

Good to know, and as always best of luck to those applying! 😉
 
I had about 4,600 characters, but condensed it down to 4,495. Think it was roughly over a page.
