Here’s How to Prepare to Fill Out Your CASPA Application

When you get ready to take a seat and fill out your physician assistant CASPA application what you should have in front of you is all the documentation that you need. What you’re going to need in front of you is a copy of your transcript, you’re going to need to know all the dates when you were employed in a medical field, you need to have all the names and addresses of the people that you plan on asking to give you a letter of recommendation, and you need to make sure that you have the contact information for the universities that you attended and you’re going to need a copy of your personal statement narrative.

You always have the option of being able to print out your letters of recommendation and sending it by the mail. Sending your recommendations by mail isn’t encouraged because of the fact they can be lost, so sending your recommendation letters by email is far better. This is better because of the fact that you will be able to track it by email, and you don’t have think that the person who is evaluating your application forgetting to send the letter.

Sending everything electronically is a good idea also because of the fact that you know instantly when your application is complete and has been forwarded to the physician assistant schools you decided to apply to. Its important that you make sure that the people you get to do your recommendations are know that they are going to be contacted by an email the moment that they are finish entering in the information.

The email that comes in may be filtered as spam, so make sure you let them know to check their spam folder just in case they didn’t get it in their main inbox. Its extremely important that you fill out the whole application, and you don’t have to finish it once you start it. You can come back and finish later, but I would recommend that you finish it the first time you start. When you are done with the application print out a copy of it to keep for yourself.
