Mohammed Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I have noticed that the font of the questions in the personal narrative is different from that of the resume. They ask to keep the font without any change. I am confused now if I should keep the same as the CV or as the questions. Did anyone face this problem?

RedLily Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Maintain the same font they have, so if in the CV portion it's Calibri, and in the PN portion it's Arial, just leave it like that (or when you paste it into the document, make sure it matches what they have there).

The problem if I do so, the space for the narrative would not fit in the box. If I follow the CV format, it would. That's why I am asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tameimpala Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Keep the font as is, you will just have to edit your CV to make it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I am asking. If your concern is just the size of the text boxes for the narratives, you can make them slightly bigger or smaller to accommodate the text inside. Do not change the font style or the font size. As long as you are within the word limit for your narrative responses and you don't change the text formatting, you can play with the box margins a little bit. Given that some words are longer than others, for the same word count, some paragraphs will be longer or shorter. I didn't run into any trouble last year doing that.

RedLily Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 ^second that, it is easier to write longer and then cut it down to the best/most pertinent 250 words. My first drafts were always 500-750 words lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BH 5 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi everyone ! Not sure if I'm onthe tight thread! Im thinking of applying to med p my R score is low 31 but I have a great cv . Should I even bother or totally wasting my time . ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 You will be wasting your time if acceptance is the goal, however, it is a good practice run. You are just not competitive and will need to do an undergraduate degree and have a competitive GPA with killer PN and CV to have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
