Hello, your video is very helpful! I am currently applying to OT school and I would like to know what is the maximum amount of pages and words for the OTCAS personal statement? I'll appreciate the help. Thanks.
Another question, what if do not have professional experience like a job as a rehab tech or a teacher? What are some other options I could include to talk about my professional background?
Hello! How did you start your introduction off in the personal statement? Did you start it off as "My name is ..."? My last question, is how do you strongly end this personal statement? How would you wrap all of this up as a whole to stand out? Thank you so much for this helpful video!
My introduction started off with my initial experience that drew me into OT. It read something to the effect of “My interest in occupational therapy started when....” I didn’t necessarily go into depth in the introduction but just gave the reader an idea of what I’d be elaborating on later. I wrapped my personal statement up by basically summarizing all of the reasons that led me to OT , what I plan to achieve as an OT, and why I was a good pick. 😊 Hope this helps!
Trying to write now and this been the best vid I seen. Thank you

Thank for your help ! Is this the same personal statement you wrote to OTCAS ? Or was it to a specific OT
program ?
So then it is okay to talk about what setting/population one wants to work in after OT school?
absolutely!

@@erikahernandez9567 Thank you so much! You're amazing, this helped me a lot!
How long do you recommend the personal statement should be?
My personal statement was a page long 😊 My suggestion is to stick with quality over quantity of pages! Hope this helps!
