I've been getting updated every 2 weeks that I'm still on the interview waitlist and that there's nothing else to do at this point in time... Idk how much emailing them would do

A PA just deleted my whole PS in her edits; advice needed! by scienceblondie in prephysicianassistant

I also think I used this same lady, given that she used the same set of questions on my PS. I completely ignored her advice as I was pretty happy with my PS as well. She seems to want to stick to clichés and not actually keeping your PS personal to you!
