gobuffs1996 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello fellow SMU applicants, I was curious to see if anyone has heard back from SMU regarding: 1) confirmation that their CASPA app was received 2) any word on interviews My app was mailed by CASPA on 8/8/12, so it's WAY early for any activity on my application. But, for those that applied early, I was wondering if you've heard anything yet? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Mine was sent around July 20th, nothing yet, no confirmation or invite. From what I've read around though, it seems like interview invites aren't sent out until November, they're apparently busy with the incoming class and don't look at applications until later.

JK101 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Got a confirmation July 20th here's the email: Thank you for your application to the Master Physician Assistant program at Samuel Merritt University. This email confirms we have received your application from CASPA. Our review process will begin this summer and continue throughout the fall. When we review your application we will notify you by email if we need any additional information from you. Please do not send us transcripts of courses you have completed since you submitted your CASPA application; we do not go back and recalculate GPA’s based on recently completed classes. We assume you will successfully complete all classes indicated as in progress on your application. Do not send resumes, additional letters of recommendation, certificates, etc. We only look at and consider the information we require as part of the standardized application. As a reminder, we do not require the GRE’s and do not have a supplemental application. We will begin sending out interview invitations the middle of November and will continue to invite candidates to interview until the interview process is completed; it is very likely you will not hear from us before that time. Invitations come directly from the PA department and not the Office of Admission. Interviews are planned for Saturdays in January and February 2013. All applicants will know their final admission status by the beginning of March. We respectfully request that you do not call us asking about your current application status. Please know that we have your application, it will go through our review process and we will email you if we need any additional information or clarification of any information throughout the review process. Again, thank you for your interest in and application to the MPA program at Samuel Merritt University! Pam Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Never mind, I apologize, I DID receive that email, I was just about to say that email looked familiar. I got it last week on the 9th. So about 2-3 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackeric88 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 My caspa was mailed in early june and it took SMU almost 2 months to confirm that they received it. I havent heard anything about interviews yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobuffs1996 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 So, I received confirmation today that SMU received my application from CASPA. For the benefit of others who are waiting, CASPA mailed mine on 8/8/12...so it took 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd003 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Good luck everyone. I was in the same position last year and it was pretty tough waiting to hear if you got an interview or not. 2 days in and SMU seems like a great program so far. Hope to see you guys around campus next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotabike Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I haven't heard anything back from them either. Best of luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrayer Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Nothing yet for me either. I guy I used to work with started in the PA program last year and his interview wasn't until late in the year as I recall, so I'm not expecting to hear anything until November.

sarraeo26 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 They usually don't start inviting people for interviews until late fall and sometimes as late as December. There will be 3 interviews in Jan/Feb for around 120 people total, so be patient! They (the faculty) have a lot of applications to go through while teaching classes, working at their jobs, and juggling family life. Hang in there!

_tea Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have gotten the confirmation email three times since Thursday. I got my initial confirmation email on 10/2. It was mailed by CASPA on 9/21. These emails are making me nervous! Each time I open it hoping to see an invite but I'm disappointed! At least it isn't a rejection email!

Guest jtrost1 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just kidding was a save the date email! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbiePA-C Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just Received the email to interview! Will probably pick the Jan 26 date! Really? That's great, congrats! The email I received today though stated that in December they will begin inviting top candidates to interview. They provided 3 possible interview dates (Jan 19th, 26th and Feb. 9th) for selected candidates. I assume then I won't hear anything till December about an interview.

funkytown Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes its actually a 'save the date' email. I got excited too when i first read it. They will decide in December if you get an interview or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
