physical Therapy Personal Statement 2017-2018

Hi Everyone,

I am working on applying to PT school this summer and am having a difficult time with the PTCAS essay. The prompt is:
What is professionalism in the context of being a student in a DPT program?

My question is am I supposed to include why I want to be a PT and my experiences that have led up to me applying to PT school or should I only focus on answering the prompt? Any suggestions of what to include would be appreciated!

You can. I think that's one of the only prompts they actually provide enough characters for it. If you find you're running out of room though I wouldn't waste the characters.
