spartansfan2004 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hello everyone! Sent in my CASPA application early July, finished up with their supplemental about a week later. Received an invitation to interview about three weeks later. Bachelor of Arts GPA: 3.7 Science GPA: 3.7 Briefly: Direct Health Care Hours: Medical Assistant ~2400 Served as the President of 70 person organization >500 hours Philanthropy >50 hours PA Shadowing in a Variety of Disciplines >200 hours Shadowing MD's Just an opinion, but it is my belief that it was the personal statement that piqued their interest. Best of luck to you all, hopefully we will be meeting one another in May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
