i’m applying to 4 schools on SOPHAS, does my Recommendation apply to all 4 schools?

[@belindaodae26]

If you had your transcript evaluated by WES, do you enter their evaluation or you enter original scores from your university?

[@mina7016]

The section gets filled automatically if you have requested a WES evaluation by sophas. Good luck

[@verabaduagyei5020]

I've filled everything at the contact information but can't save to continue... i don't know why

[@dr.hanankadiabafita1406]

Could you please elaborate if we need to upload any proof like certificates for our achievements and experiences on any part of the application or is it not required?

[@ucdhealthprofessionsadvisi1754]

Great question! Proof of experiences or certificates is (usually) not needed and is based on an honor system. We recommend being as honest as possible.

do i have to customize statement of purpose for each program/ universities i want to apply for?

[@ucdhealthprofessionsadvisi1754]

Each program will have its own essay prompt(s) which only they receive so we encourage having at least come content be unique to each program. But there can still be a lot of overlap with what you are writing for other programs. Hope this helps!
