ktcan10 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Sure will. Same to you! The only thing that I've heard is that my application is complete. But no info about interviews or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z PA-C Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 WesternU said they do not use rolling admissions so I am assuming we will not hear anything until after the application deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koppma Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Last year I applied, but got accepted to another school. I sent my caspa application on May 24 and got a email from Western in Nov for interviews that start in Jan for the first rounds of interviews. So you guys are going to have a long wait. I would send updated transcripts to your counselor as time goes on. I did this after taking summer and fall classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several classes still in progress, so I will definitely be sending updated transcripts. Where did you end up going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koppma Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 on western's site it says Question 12: How and when will I know if I've been invited for an interview? Interviews are held in late January and various dates in February. If you are selected for an interview, you will be notified by email late November through early February. http://prospective.westernu.edu/physician-assistant/faqs-14/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svasan1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi everyone. I just received an email from Western today. It says after initial review the admissions committee has opted to continue to review my application for Fall 2014 class. It says the committee will extend invitations for interview from December through early March and they will contact by email and/or phone.They will update monthly on the status of application until a final decision has been reached. A final status message should be received by March 15. Good Luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koppma Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Also, if you do get an interview I would update your volunteer hours to the counselor prior into going to the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z PA-C Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 For the supplemental application for Western where it says: Please describe your involvement in any type of community service (non-medical or medical). How did you guys format this section? One paragraph for each volunteer activity? Or more of a bullet point style? Did you just discuss your duties or how in depth did you go, was that redundant with what you put on CASPA? I'm just asking because they want it to be less than a page...

Z PA-C Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Who did you guys email your prerequisite worksheet to after submitting the supplemental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I used the submit button and got a reply from EDS saying that I had submitted it. I also received an email from Western saying that they weren't accepting any of my classes from either my bachelor's degree or my master's degree for English 101. So, I'm enrolling in English 101 in the fall. My point being that they are currently reviewing applications, so I imagine people will be getting confirmations of complete applications soon.

Z PA-C Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The submit button wasn't working for me but I was able to find the EDS email. Thanks for your help! Are you all applying to any other schools other than WesternU? If so, which ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z PA-C Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Does it have to be current community service? Can it be something recent? All of the volunteer activities that I am involved with are current but I think they want you to put all of your volunteer work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloak25 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 All of the volunteer activities that I am involved with are current but I think they want you to put all of your volunteer work. So did you basically rewrote what you put on your CASPA? I was just thinking of writing a paragraph for each volunteer activity that I had.
