The Admissions Committee is looking for unique qualities and statements that make you stand out from the other students wishing to attend Midwestern University's PA program. When forming your response, put yourself in the position of the decision-makers. They are looking at multiple talented candidates. All have stellar grades, have the drive, and have the potential to be renowned Midwestern University alumni. What would be the primary reason to choose you over someone else?
Some factors that make you a stand-out candidate might include:
- An additional degree, diploma, or certification
- A memorable and personal story of struggle and triumph
- Proof that you continually focus on personal and professional development
- An unusual skill such as speaking multiple languages or knowing sign language
When responding, ensure that your reasoning is unique and sets you apart from other applicants.

"I'm confident that Midwestern University should choose me for entrance into the PA program because of my diverse healthcare work and volunteer experiences. I have shown leadership and compassion for my community by holding long-term volunteer leadership positions, coordinating donations for events benefiting local shelters, and holding free educational programs. I did all this while working two jobs and excelling in my undergrad studies. My resilience, dedication, and passion are evidence that I will excel in this program and as a future Physician Assistant."
