   I am working on my essay and had not realized it is single spaced! I had been working under the assumption is was double spaced. This helps me a ton! Still, I find the fact we must answer the questions in order very difficult!

   If you only need to cut a few sentences and cannot cut content I found it best to pull out individual words. That way you keep your message. Also try using shorter words. It worked for my UCSF essay. I remember they said ability to follow instruction...

   Any word on whether they are generous with scholarships like Columbia? Also, anyone looking into outside scholarships and like to share where to look/ find them?

   I haven't even heard of online chat sessions. How do we find out about when they are and what did you learn?

   I was very specific about my goals both short term and long, because mine are quite defined. I am going to use nursing to work with Doctor's without Borders and ultimately hope to set up a clinic or midwife training program for women in Africa. Anoth...

   Thanks, Personally I feel I have gotten to the point that they are getting worse not better. It is just so easy to second guess. I hope the recs add some dimensions I cannot hit. Also both are 2 pages. I heard personal should be shorter than goal, bu...

    Hi All, Do any of you know if there is a place or way to upload our CV or resume? I thought that I had previously noticed the option, but now during the final dash to the finish I cannot locate it.

    Hi all, I am spending time on my essay now and it is daunting. Are we really supposed to answer all those ?s in 2 pages and make it personal and interesting! This is a follow up question to the research issue. Should we write about any academic resea...

    Yes, I agree completely! These essays are kicking my ass. Would you like to exchange and read each others for tips and help. FYI I probably still need a day or two before I would even feel comfortable sending mine to you! I never made it to info sess...

    Hi again, I am working on my goal statement as we speak and am still confused by the difference between it and the personal history statement. I believe the goal statement is the most important. Still, I would rather do one long essay rather than tw...

    Hi, I am also applying to the midwifery track. Best of luck to you!!! I have not found comparable programs for a similar price. The other schools I am applying to are Yale, Columbia, Georgetown and University of Chicago. OHSU runs a great program but...
