Jdabrowski Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Have not seen a thread for this years cycle so figured I would start one. Have not submitted my secondary yet as they will not look at it until March, so who is all applying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscon Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I've sent in everything since there's no supplemental fee. Now I don't need to stress over it until interview invitations get sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vavlp Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Have not seen a thread for this years cycle so figured I would start one. Have not submitted my secondary yet as they will not look at it until March, so who is all applying? I just submitted my application today... CASPA verified my application earlier this month; so now it's a waiting game! Not something I am very good at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmtam Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 No. I was told they don't offer interviews until after the deadline (coming from a friend who got an interview last cycle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdabrowski Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I applied last year, they don't send out invites until roughly June, there are 3 "waves" of invites and 3 days of interviews I believe. All interviews were in the middle of July, and everyone found out their decisions end of July that interviewed. And even still some could have gotten changed in August. I am reapplying this year. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdabrowski Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I had 4 B's in my prereqs which held me less competitive, so I had to redo two classes to make those A's. Also added in more volunteering and shadowing (but those were just a couldn't hurt to get more thought). They are really nice to ask questions from, so I wouldn't hesitate to ask if you have any!

Tica Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hello All, I'm putting the finishing touches on my application and was wondering if anyone knows if we are supposed to upload our DD214? I haven't come across anything saying to do so but thought it may be a good idea since I mention in in my PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalpal03 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I sent all of my application in about two months ago so that I did not have to worry about it. It's a long wait until then:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdabrowski Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I was not, they said I was extremely close but I needed to retake a couple pre-reqs so they would be A's. I was told most of the seats they offered were a majority of 2 B's or less in that section. But it is really important to realize they look at everything as a whole, so I am volunteering more as well as retaking the classes, and doing more shadow hours to improve my application strength as a whole.

ncml20 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knew who would be the best point of contact in the admissions department...several different emails are listed on the website. I have a few questions about some classes I took in grad school counting for the pre-reqs and I emailed the generic pa program email (paprogram@evms.edu) but its been a week and I haven't heard back yet.

RTNPA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @ncml20 I totally recommend you email Michelle Kubricky - KubricMA@EVMS.EDU She was incredibly helpful and really took an interest in your successful completion of applying. I was able to meet her in person as well, and was even more impressed. The entire admissions staff are top notch and is a huge reason why I applied.
