JDL1994 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hey all! Since the September 1st deadline for the College of St. Scholastica PA program has passed, I figured it was time to start a thread for the school. It looks as though they are shooting to let us know our admission status by the end of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khansen4 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Where did you find the information about letting us know in December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alliehoop Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 At the info session they held in May, they said they wouldn't be offering spots until January by email I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDL1994 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I was in contact with the admissions counselor, and that is what she said. Although, since they are a new program, I expect that the deadline will be a little bit loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alliehoop Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I received an email this morning and I'm waitlisted. Of course they won't be telling us where we are on the list as well. Has anyone else heard back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwfuturepa Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I also received an email this morning saying I am on the waitlist. Wondering if anyone had interviews here, as I did not, but was placed on a waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwaalen Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hey all, I was wait-listed in early December as well. I have followed up twice since and they haven't given much of any information. Could it be the case that there might be movement / acceptances after their accreditation in March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emb128 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I was wait-listed as well. It seems like everyone got wait-listed at St. Scholastica. I have not heard anything from the school about getting off of the wait-list. Has anyone else? I am also wondering if there might be some movement after they get accredited. Fingers crossed!

boja1103 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I heard that students that were accepted last year were given priority this year due to the program not earning accredidation last year. This could very well be a rumor. I also got an email saying I was on the waitlist in December, but I just recieved an email this morning with an offer of Admission! They are still waiting to hear about accredidation until the end of April. Best of luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdabrowski Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Boja1103 you are correct in that those that were admitted were asked if they wanted to hold their spots. I do not know how many actually did, but I do know of a few that went other places. I was in the group last year (was waitlisted) and the rumors flew of all waitlisted students at that time were to be accepted and the initial acceptances were only half the class. I know a few of us who were waitlisted chose not to reapply due to how last years cycle played out. Good luck to those that get in as the new building is beautiful and being a CSS grad I can tell you where you want to avoid for places to rent :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PALois Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 @jdamrowski - I am applying to PA school for the first time this cycle & I am planning of applying to St. Scholastica for this year (if they get accredited). While I live in MN, I have never been to Duluth so I wanted to know if what advice you have on what places to avoid for rent & how safe you felt on campus. On their website they have a link for BlueStone housing. Do you know anything about that? Thank you & any info would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdabrowski Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Most college students live in the woodland, east hillside area. Bluestone is very nice but it is expensive. However there are apartment complexes such as Highland Village, Summit Ridge, Campus Park, and some town homes like Aspenwood that students frequently rent from. The CSS main campus I felt very safe, its small, well lighted and campus security does rounds on the hour. Overall in Duluth I felt safe in most areas (downtown and west duluth you should not walk alone). It is not overly cheap to rent in Duluth due to college population, but you can find deals and I would suggest finding another student who gets accepted into the program to room with.

Guest PALois Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thank you for the info! Very helpful to know! I haven't applied yet, however I will definitely keep this information in mind if I do get accepted to St. Scholastica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emb128 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Has anyone else heard anything from the program of getting off the wait-list?! I wish we knew how long the wait-list was because at this point I feel like I'm just giving myself false hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdabrowski Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 When in doubt always reapply to programs so you don't miss any rolling admins ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdPA23 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hey guys! Does anyone who applied for the 2016-2017 cycle have any tips for those applying for the current cycle? Also, does anyone have any idea how tough it is to get accepted to this program with an accreditation-provisional status compared to an accredited program? Thanks!
