rswim Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Has anyone noticed the discrepancy in Calgary's personal letter prompt? U. Calgary Personal Letter A personal letter is required and must be no less than one page (we recommend a word count of no more than 550 using Arial font size 11). Please tell us why you are suited to a career in Anesthesia and give specific examples to illustrate your points. We would also like to know what will make you a good resident and what you expect to find most challenging about the practice of Anesthesia. Finally, tell us about your knowledge of the Calgary program and your reasons for selecting it. So which is it MINIMUM one page? or MAXIMUM 550. Last I checked 550 words of arial size 11 is just UNDER one page making it very difficult to fulfill both of these criteria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rswim Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I emailed the program administrator for clarification. She said to go with 550 words Ariel size 11. YIKES - that is short!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinemed Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I emailed the program administrator for clarification. She said to go with 550 words Ariel size 11. YIKES - that is short!!! Presumably 550 words in Arial size 11 is the same word count as an other font and size haha. I guess they used to upload/mail these in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinemed Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 FYI - I also emailed the program administrator and she said use the "one page Arial size 11" as a guideline. So who the frig knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
