Temple Post-Bacc Question

[trakkie]

Is anyone else applying to Temple's post-bacc? The application puts a limit of 250 characters on the main essay question, which seems wrong. I emailed to ask but no one's gotten back to me - anyone have any advice on how to answer the question "What drew you to the field of medicine" in 250 characters?

I haven't done Temple's post-bac, but I don't see the question to be wrong. With the 250 words limit, answering the question might seem difficult but state your main reason why you're pursuing to enter the health care field. Then list examples that encouraged you to really pursure your dream (like volunteer work, abroad experience).

250 words I could understand, but it's 250 characters - that's about 2 short sentences, max. That must be a mistake, right?

You are asking the wrong people. Call them and find out. 🙂 Good luck!
