UBC MPT Application - Additional Information

[mc3]

Question about the additional information section of the application! For past applicants - did you typically fill out this portion of the application, and if so, what did you typically put in this section? Thanks!

Thanks for your input! I was thinking of using it to talk about why I want to be a PT. Do you think that's a good approach or something I should save for the interview if I make it that far?

i believe its more of a section to expand on some of the points you listed in your application, but you can take it any way you like. I dont think it would be looked at negatively if you chose to talk about why you wanted to be a PT. but remember, everyone has their own reasons for entering the profession so looking at it from the perspective of the school, i dont know how much it would impact your app

 

EDIT: also I have zero clue about the admissions process as a student, so take everything with a grain of salt!
