"I have applied to four other schools that offer a comprehensive PA program here on the west coast. I have also applied to USC, the University of La Verne, and Loma Linda University. My interest in the Western University Of Health Sciences is strong because of the strong reputation of your program and the fact that your program embraces moral principles, integrity, compassion, and respect. I would be so proud to say that I graduated from this school."
