KnightBen Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've just learned about PA Forum and was wondering what others in my position are doing to prepare their applications. Let's help each other reach our dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbreeze Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Welcome!! :D I am in the same boat! Currently I am volunteering in couple of different places and just making sure I do well in my classes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightBen Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've been trying to shadow in every clinic that will take me. Talking with others seems to make this a little less intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have been trying to take prerequisite courses (they are all impacted! I think everyone wants to stay in school in this economy) but have had a difficult time trying to find ANYWHERE with open classes (anatomy, microbio, etc). Even wait lists are full! I'd advise you guys start ASAP getting in those prereqs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightBen Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 My prereqs are finished, I'm submitting the application in May. I've found that shadowing has helped answer a lot of my questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eperez123 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone sent a supplemental to the school even though it is not required. I'm sure everyone received that email indicating that if you'd like to send one, you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelseyO Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I went to the open house and it seemed to me that they felt if you had supplemental information which you wanted to tell them about you could. They stated for example if you were not able to fit something important into your application or if something significant happens after you sent it in that you want to share with them. Do they notify you when they receive your CASPA application? Mine was sent from CASPA a few weeks ago and though I have heard that other schools received it, Quinnipiac hasn't said anything yet and they are definitely a top choice. Has anyone else heard anything from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else heard anything from them? Yes, they will send you an email confirming receipt of your CASPA once they receive it. The email included this helpful info: If selected for an interview, invites are sent via email approx 2 weeks prior to the interview date. Interviews will be held on Sept 10, Oct 1, Oct 22, Nov 12, and Dec 9, 2011. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelseyO Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thank you so much, I am going to need every ounce of luck! That certainly is helpful info... How long did it take for you to receive the e-mail? I got confirmation from some of the school I applied to and then the confirmations stopped coming.

MrsRonSwanson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I got an e-mail from QU within a week of my application being mailed. I say give them two weeks and then call to confirm that they received it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...about 2 weeks and 3 days for me. Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
