anonymous:

applying PSTP gave me 2 more essays to go in depth on my research, which is one of the strengths of my app imo, so I wanted space to express that

Seconding this, it gave me 2 whole essays to talk about my research so I could talk about other things in the other parts of my app (and research is a significant strength in my app). So like why not give myself 2 more essays to try to sell myself to Stanford? Plus I do genuinely want to be a physician-scientist, but I am not necessarily sold on getting a full MD/PhD, so it is a perfect program for my interests!

Those who got PSTP ii - did the person we were supposed to email ever get back to you? I never got a receipt (I emailed earlier today, but still I was wondering if I should follow up tomorrow)
