Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

<p>Hi guys
So i JUST finished applying to PSU. It is technically due today (It is 12:15AM Midnight) but I am not sure if everything will reach on time. I have sent transcripts and letters of rec through the mail for overnight delivery to University Park. However, I did not know that there would be another councilor sheet that needed to be turned in as well. I am going to ask my GC to fax it tomorrow. </p>

<p>Also, I sent my ACT reports from the official site, but how long does it usually take to reach? Should I fax that as well??</p>

<p>I am nervous, never been this disorganized.</p>

<p>4 essays? That was a bit too much...ugh.</p>

2

<p>^Don’t worry I am still applying :slight_smile: Not done yet. BTW there was a fourth essay? </p>

<p>The three I know are personal statement, the activitiy thing, strengths and weaknesses, whats the fourth? ****…</p>

3

<p>I have done over eleven essays. So i am pretty sure I can reuse one.</p>

4

<p>Yeah I just reused one. 3 essays for the BS/MD (What non academic activity most important to you(250), why med/psu/jefferson/accel.program (500), strengths and weaknesses (250). What i didn’t know we had was the personal statement. I just submitted my common app paper…</p>

5

<p>What councilor sheet? I never sent anything like that.</p>

<p>I’M WORRIED. Extremely.</p>

6

<p>It’s all goood :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I JUST talked to some admissions person at Penn State and she said it’s ok if you don’t send that in if you already sent in your transcript!</p>

<p>SO relieved. I am an international applicant, so it would have been worse if I had to send it in!</p>

7

<p>Oh good. I sent in a transcript too. BUT I forgot to put down my applicant ID name on it. DOH!! I was in such a rush. I had to ship it overnight and the mail gets picked up at 7PM. I got to the post office at 6:55.</p>

<p>What should I do? Call/E-mail? Or should I just let it be (I have a very unique name)…</p>

<p>UGHHGHAGA</p>

8

<p>let it be. dont stress out.</p>

9

<p>wait where did it say the essays had to be 250, 500, 250 word limit? Mine were 780, 640, and 458. *** Are they gonna throw my app in the garbage?</p>

10

<p>There WAS no word limit. And I’m pretty sure about that. I am NOT going to freak out this time.</p>

<p>Mine was more like 1500 (why doctor, psu/jeff) , 300 and 400.</p>

<p>EDIT: I think so that batpad meant the number of words HE specifically wrote, not the limit.</p>

11

<p>Pretty sure there was one. This is what I copied and pasted down into a word doc…</p>

<p>Describe one non-academic activity during your high school years that has been most meaningful to you. </p>

<p>Please answer this question in 250 words or less</p>

<hr>

<p>Write a personal statement indicating why you want to be a physician, why you want an accelerated program and why you’ve selected this Penn State / Jefferson program. </p>

<p>Please answer this question in 500 words or less</p>

<hr>

<p>Describe what you think your strongest qualities are, as well as weaknesses that you would like to improve upon. </p>

<p>Please answer this question in 250 words or less</p>

12

<p>^Mine didn’t have the word limit.</p>

13

<p>^ Mine didn’t either.</p>

<p>Batpad, you must have copied down the info. BEFORE they had the new site make-over. </p>

<p>And I’m sure they won’t disqualify based on the word count because they never mentioned one and that most of the applicants will be overshooting anyways.</p>

14

<p>Just checked the printout of my application. There was no word count mentioned.</p>

15

<p>Ugh. Oh well, my essays still turned out pretty good even with the restrictions i guess. Glad it worked out for everyone else.</p>

16

<p>Happy B-day, JoePa!!!</p>

17
