Admission can be competitive, and Pace University's PA Program Admissions Committee want to know why they should accept you into their program. PA programs seek students who will succeed academically while meeting the personal characteristics required to be a successful Physician's Assistant. The goal of your response is to spotlight how you will be an all-star student in Pace's PA program.

Some areas where the PA Program Admissions Committee will assess you include academic potential, personal strengths and weaknesses, the diversity you will bring to the program, and your commitment to serving others.

This is your time to shine, so be sure that your response is original and unique. There are some simple ways to ensure that your answer stands out from other student applicants:

- Avoid giving a dull review of your background. Your response should highlight the best reasons why your achievements, skills, and characteristics are a match for Pace's PA program.

- Think about value. Think of how your attendance will add value to the school and the PA program now and in the future.

- Highlight your achievements. Mentioning specific academic or professional awards and accolades is an excellent way to stand out from other PA program applicants.

- Tell a story. Psychology tells us that offering a compelling, relatable story makes us more memorable and persuasive.
