This personal statement was FLAWLESS

[@BorisThePA]

Thank you!

Boris, your personal statement was amazing. It inspired me to write a killer personal statement as well. Thank you so much for giving me some feedback on my statement. If anyone reading this wants help on their statement, Boris is super friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

[@BorisThePA]

Thanks Nelson! Your statement really came together beautifully. Good luck to you, and stay safe out there!

[@daykercito]

Your personal statement gave me goosebumps. I was also in the Navy and will be applying this year to PA school. I would love for you to read what I have created for my statement so far and give me your feedback. Go Navy!

[@BorisThePA]

Hooyah Navy! Dayker, your essay is very moving and has a lot of potential. Please take a look at the suggestions I emailed you and let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!

[@saherrashid92]

Wow! This indeed was flawless! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@BorisThePA]

You’re too kind, Saher

[@oliviaw5250]

Thank you for sharing! I must have written probably 20 different essays. Two days ago I thought I had the one. Today I scrapped it and started all over again. This has to be the part of the application I am most anxious about.

[@BorisThePA]

Olivia, I know exactly what you're going through. Just remember, it's only stressful because it's important, and because you really care about it. I know you'll do great! If you need help, feel free to email me and I can take a look at your essay after my finals are over in 2 weeks!

[@francescamt30]

I love the quote!

[@BorisThePA]

Thanks!

[@anjfkrhdy]

Hey, good video man. Dont know why there isnt much views.

[@BorisThePA]

thank you! I'm afraid I don't post very consistently so my videos haven't gotten much traction. I have had the opportunity to help some people who found me through my videos to improve their applications, so I'm very happy with the outreach so far :)

[@12345nidal]

Great job on your personal statement! I will be applying next cycle and will be sure to contact you in a couple of months to see if you would be willing to read over mine. Good luck with the rest of PA school.

[@BorisThePA]

Sounds like a good plan, thanks!

[@TheTjoy910]

Bruh, amazing essay!

[@BorisThePA]

Thanks! You should watch the video where I got it professionally edited and it got ripped to shreds 🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX7Re6Kjfdh6Z80

[@Roshanic99]

Your personal statement was amazing!!! I love it. I’m applying this cycle and was hoping you would be able to read over it!

[@ShabnamJanak]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Very creative and inspiring personal statement! I am in process of finishing my personal statement, would you be able to review it? I appreciate your help!

[@BorisThePA]

Thanks for the support! I received your email and I am happy to help you, just give me a week or two to get back to you. This is our last week of the semester and our finals begin next week so I'm busy studying, but I will certainly help you when I have some time!

[@annietbernal9429]

Hi Boris! I will be applying to PA school this upcoming cycle 2022-2023 , and I was wondering if you’re still reading some personal statements! I would love for you to read what I have created for my statement! Thanks in advance !

[@BorisThePA]

I sure do! I’ve done it so much it’s actually a small business now, and currently have about a 2 to 3 week waiting list but I’m more than happy to help! Check out my website, BorisThePA.com for information on how to book a CASPA essay editing service

[@laeequaali1053]

That one awesome essay!!! You have had great experiences and exposure which I couldn’t have. What do I do now ?

[@laeequaali1053]

I don’t know where to begin, I was home raising kids and then went back to school and got my bachelors but lack in patient care hours. I am a MA now and want to apply this cycle. Any suggestions with which you can help me.

[@BorisThePA]

Thanks, I'm really glad you liked my essay! Medical Assistant (MA) is excellent patient care experience, assuming you do more patient care than office work, so you should have enough PCE hours to apply to most programs in 6-12 months. As long as you get all of your pre-requisite courses done and get very good grades, you should have a good chance! If you would like to get my help personally, email me at [e-mail].

[@sanikpatel847]

Hey Boris, I’m wondering if you’re still reviewing personal statements? I am a reapplicant and will be applying this cycle. I have been waitlisted last year and never got picked.

[@BorisThePA]

Yessir I am. Please see my website, boristhepa.com, for more details!

[@leeach8848]

Hi Boris, thank you for sharing a great personal statement! I am a Pre-PA student and plan to send in my application in March 2021. Are you still reading personal statements?

[@BorisThePA]

I am! Send me an email if you're interested.

[@emelyd1222]

I loved your essay! Are you still providing hello on personal statements?

[@BorisThePA]

Hi Emely, yes I am, please email me. You can find me email on my channel home page. I just have a short wait list so it might be a week or so until I can review it.

[@emelyd1222]

Boris Temkin, PA-S1 Just sent it!

[@jordandavis7935]

Amazing essay! Motivated me to my core. I was also in the navy as a corpsman with 1st recon. I will be applying this cycle coming up but I would like to ask for some advice. I ended up going through the recon pipeline and went to army’s 18D medic course to train with army SF as a corpsman to go back to recon. I had a great learning experience and expanded my capabilities but failed the last test. Since I failed is this something I should avoid mentioning in my essay? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

[@BorisThePA]

Bro honestly most civilians don't know anything about the military, especially Special Forces. I would just focus on the amazing things that you did do and leave that little bit out. That's really bad ass man, FMF corpsmen deserve all the respect. Thank you for your service.

[@jordandavis7935]

@@BorisThePA thank you so much Boris!

[@tlsanders9712]

When is your next break ?

[@BorisThePA]

We should have some time off in August, but I can review CASPA essays now. If it's a particularly busy week then I just ask that you give me a few extra days to get your essay back to you!
