Congrats to you both! Would you mind sharing your stats?

I wrote about growing up in a community with poor access to healthcare, how I decided to become a PA (and why PA specifically), and about my experiences while working in a healthcare setting. Fairly standard I think.

Not really sure. My only thought is that none of my clinical experience had recognizable titles. Most of it was from a half volunteer half paid clinical research position, so I am guessing they did not accept it?

Yes

I got a formal rejection, so hearing nothing is not that.

Congrats to you both! Would you mind sharing your stats?

Has anyone heard anything yet? It seems like invites started around this time last year

Nothing for me - just confirmation of supplemental being paid

I did not get a request (maybe others did), I just signed up because they had requested it last year as per the previous forum, and they only offer the test every so often.

In caspa, go to program materials, open your app to South College, then there is a blue link to the supplemental which opens fine for me.

Congrats to each of you that got an interview!! Would any of you mind sharing your stats?

Just received an email that my application is under review and I should hear from them in the next two weeks.

Oh, you'll be fine!!

We are our own worst critics. I just hope schools can see me as a whole package rather than numbers. Are your stats similar?
