bms1015 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Well as some if us now know who well be students of the graduating class of 2014, I am starting this thread for anyone to post not only that they have received an acceptance letter for the program but also to utilize this thread to ask any questions pertaining to the PA program as well as to post any information that you know or have been told about the program. A few topics may include when we need to accomplish certain tasks required of the program, such as the requirements which need to be met before the program starts, any books or equipment we are going to need & where you got them/how much they cost, and anything you are doing to help prepare yourself for the program to start. ALSO REMEMBER, AS STATED IN THE ACCEPTANCE LETTER..REMEMBER TO SEND IN YOUR LETTER OF INTENT BY I BELIEVE APRIL 18TH OR YOUR SPOT IN THE PROGRAM WILL BE GIVEN TO THE NEXT CANDIDATE DOWN THE LINE! Anything else anyone can think of, please feel free to utilize this thread for anything & everything pertaining to the program. Go class of 2014!!!!

erptacmtkrazyso Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks Brian for starting this thread for our class. My name is Eddie and i am very excited to start and meet everybody in the next couple of months. I'm sure we will have a lot of time to get to know each other as we will be studying and hanging out with each other for the next 2 years. It will go by fast.

pangea Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi everyone, my name is Mindy and i got my acceptance letter yesterday. i'm looking forward to meeting y'all and working with you over the next 2 years. does anyone know if we can turn in our letter of intent in person to the office? I know it says to mail the letter to the office, but I'm wondering if we can hand it in in person, just to be sure it doesn't get lost in the mail for some reason. yes, i'm paranoid, after all these months of anxiety :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bms1015 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nice to meet you mindy (well I guess if this counts as meeting). Congrats on your acceptance. I would send it by mail as it specifically says to. I messer copies of mine just in case & mailed it yesterday. You could call & ask if you can get ahold of someone. I know they are usually very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erptacmtkrazyso Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I mailed mine certified mail so that I would receive a signed receipt. I was worried it being lost in the mail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyrelight74 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Congratulations everybody! Oh, we have a new director, Rosslyn Byous. She will officially take over when Dr. Middleton leaves, around the first of May. I don't know a lot about her yet; she came by to meet us just today. She was at USC and Drew previously. Our class will arrange some kind of get together with your class sometime this summer.... likely a Saturday or Sunday afternoon... it will give you the chance to ask us any questions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shana001 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Does anyone know approximately how many applicants RCC receives each year for their PA program? And on their website it says they accept 32 a year, does that change ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrelight74 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I was told there were over 200 for my class.... not sure if that is the number before they toss out the disqualified ones or afterward (application mistakes, etc). Our class had #40 students (I think there was a grant to accept more than other years) ... only 38 showed up the first day of class. A few alternates were notified with pretty short notice. I think we lost a couple within a day or two, and brought in a couple. Anyway, we are at #27 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bms1015 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Wow, I can't imagine a 1/4 to 1/3 of the student body dropping out over the first year of the program. Thats PA school for you. Intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrelight74 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 A lot of the people left not because they were failing but because of family obligations, family crises, financial issues, etc. So, have a plan in place so that you won't have to worry about these kind of issues as much.

shana001 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just got an acceptance letter in the mail! But will be declining because I got in somewhere else! Hope this makes someone's day :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Batla PA-C Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Congratulations to all who are now anxiously waiting to start PA school! I just wanted to put the word out that I am currently shopping for a 3 or 4 bedroom house within walking distance to our campus. My goal is to find a couple roommates who are looking to avoid wasting precious time commuting. My parents live 20-25 min away but from talking to other students, it sounds like the closer to campus you live, the easier these next two years will be. Plus, I never got to experience the whole dorm/ roommate life style in college so here is the opportunity. We can host study groups, plus just review over breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! Let me know if you are interested so we can get to know each other before we have to live together ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbabes Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hello Pam, Thank you for the class of 2014 arrangement. I am so happy to meet all classmates..! In additional, I am hoping to see Dr. Middleton & Dr. Rosslyn at the new orientation in May/2012. Thank you, Andy :=D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbabes Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hello Classmates, I have interest to share a room with my fellow classmates, but I need to know what's the price per room. Can you forward me information on your findings? Again, thank you..! FYI: I resided in the Los Angeles County... Thanks, Andy :=D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bms1015 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Just a reminder to those of you out there, remember this is a forum that anyone can join so be careful when giving out any personal information. Especially those of you looking to rent rooms/share houses. Even if its in a pm, none of us know each other or have met anyone so I personally would not give any other information to anyone here except first name, sex (iffy), & price of house/location. Even in a private message! Sorry, I read something about scanners who post on forums & "get to know you" them start asking for name, phone number, email, etc.. And it can be for something as simple as getting your name & contact info for telemarketing, or worse.. So be careful, hope you all enjoy your remaining few months off before we start our program & our social lives go down the drain.. :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileenb Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hello everyone! I received my acceptance letter a couple of weeks ago... sent back my letter of intent but haven't heard back about orientation. Has anyone else heard back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
