ashcat4228 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi Everyone! :smile: I wanted to start a thread for everyone who will be applying to UAB's Surgical Physician Assistant Program for the entering class of 2013! This is my very first time applying and I am very excited to get going so if anyone else is applying to UAB lets start this journey together! I wish everyone well in this application cycle:=D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitegiles Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hello! I am also applying to UAB's program for the class entering in 2013. I submitted my CASPA application and supplemental application during the second week of June. This is also my first time applying, so I guess all that we do now is wait! Good luck to everyone!

ashcat4228 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi there! Thanks for responding:=D:. Yea waiting is the fun part....not lol. I haven't turned in my secondary yet because I am waiting for CASPA to send them off already :-/ I submitted mine back in the beginning of May so I've been waiting a looong time lol. I think I'll go ahead and send my secondary to UAB just so they'll already have it. I went to UAB for undergrad. Are you from around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcat4228 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 that's send off the primary application, I'm waiting for CASPA to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitegiles Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think you can go ahead and send the secondary without CASPA having mailed your application, or atleast I did. It may be a good idea to do that, because they already called me to clarify some prereqs. But I am surprised that CASPA hasn't mailed your application yet because mine was submitted in June and was already mailed. Are you still waiting for a letter? I'm from TN but went to undergrad in Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcat4228 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 No I got all my letters in and I checked caspa this morning and it said that my application had been mailed so I will be sending off my secondary on tomorrow. I have no idea why it took caspa so long. At first they said they would mail off applications in early June and then they said late June, go figure. Well at least it's mailed off. I am ready to get the ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcat4228 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Actually, now that I think about it I can hand deliver the secondary application to them on my lunch break to speed things up. Do you know what specialty you would like to practice in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwayssmile Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I also submitted my application! I am from Florida!! Does any one know the earliest they send out interview invites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitegiles Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 From looking at threads from last year it looks like interviews don't occur until sometime in November... Not sure how early they send out invites though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcat4228 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Did anyone receive a status update to let you know that they received all items? I called them about a month ago and they said they had everything but didn't send me an email confirmation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliB Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I submitted my CASPA and it was processed and mailed in late July. I'm finishing my supplemental appl for UAB this week. I waited until the summer semester was complete so that I can include an updated transcript for the 21 hours I completed over the summer. I've been out of school for a few years (understatement) and I decided it would behoove me to reinforce my application with some current pre-req course work demonstrating that I am more than capable of the challenges of the program. I'm from Texas, but I looked at all programs across the US (don't want to limit myself to one of the 7 programs in Texas), though I must admit my preference is going to be for something in a warmer climate! My teeth chatter in front of the refrigerator. Good luck, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnrm Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Anyone else having trouble finding out information about the program?? They want to know why it's important we go there but I can't find much specific info to reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matkinson Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Just received a confirmation email yesterday saying I meet their requirements and they're starting to look at applications. I sent my CASPA and secondary application out end of June. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdb1908 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi everyone! Submitted my app back in july and the supplemental in august. To lynnrm there was "tons" of info on the program on the site, you just have to click through everything.. I was able to attend the open house and learn even more.. There should be a flyer with their stats and google them. They have an awesome 99% first time test taker average. They are one of only two surgical programs in the US as well. etc.etc. Outside recruiters come specifically in search for UAB SPA graduates too!! Top 25 ranking as well.
