SJ83 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi jay32dubb- I sent in my deposit a week and a half ago or so. I'm really excited/nervous to start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisleembhc Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm assuming that after the 21st they'll be sending out another round of acceptances for us leftovers? Sheesh.... Anyone know about this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisleembhc Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I read on some posts from last year that those who were accepted received a phone call from admissions. Did any of you recieve a call...or just a letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ83 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I got a letter and that seems to be the general concensus, at least in this thread. I think it came Jan. 2nd or 3rd.-no phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay32dubb Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 i got a letter too, no phone call. I allso recieved mine very early January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay32dubb Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 SJ83, same here! Im concerned with where i should live. I dont really want to drive all the way back to Pitt just to go apartment shopping. I may just live in the university supplied apartments. Have you heard anything from the school since giving your deposit? the only thing i got was a reciept via e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonali Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's the 21st....Leftovers lets cross our fingers !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ83 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Good luck everyone! And Jay32dubb- I'm from Pittsburgh so I would be happy to recommend some neighborhoods that are nice and super convenient in terms of being close to school. Let me know if you need any info. about housing or the Pittsburgh area in general! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ83 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Oh and as for hearing anything, I got that same receipt and some financial aid info. that was pretty generic. They are probably going to wait to send the big stuff until the class is filled, that's would I was assume anyway. But I am excited to get more info.!

dumbledore Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Jiminy Crickets! I still haven't heard anything from them! Does anyone know when the next round of acceptances is going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llmiller03 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm still waiting and keeping my fingers crossed as well. I am assuming since they should have a better idea of who is actually accepting their spots now that they would be sending out letters this week! Hopefully by the end of this week we will have something from them! Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay32dubb Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Good luck everyone!

Let me know if you need any info. about housing or the Pittsburgh area in general! SJ83 thanks abunch! im really considering the campus owned apartments, they seem to be rather afordable as long as i can find a roomate. I really just want to live really close, traffic there seems to be very slugish! But im very open to any advice reguarding any apartments that are nearby and affordable.

aid5047 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi everyone! Congratulations to those of you who have already been accepted for Fall 2011!! I'm still waiting to hear as well. I'm from the Pittsburgh area, so obviously Chatham (with it's reputation) is high on my list! I called the admissions office yesterday and spoke with someone who said that going through so many applications had taken longer than anticipated but letters should be going out by the end of the week. So, I guess that means check your mailboxes later this week and early next week. For those of you who have already decided on Chatham, where will you be living just out of curiousity? Good luck to everyone waiting!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickt0313 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hey all, I probably should just start a new thread, but for now I will just post here. What advice do you have for applicants applying to Chatham? I know for most schools there is typically no "magic formula", but for those who made it in, how did your stats measure up (GPA, med experience, volunteer/PA shadowing experience, extracurricular activities). Are there areas that defineitly make you more competitive for this program and other areas you shouldn't concentrate on as much. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay32dubb Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hello rict0313, After speaking with the director of grad admissions its evident that with Chatham Stats arent everything. As long as you meet minimum requirements you have just as good of a chance as someone with much greater credentials. They focus more on your personal statement and LOR's as well as they have a mission to diversify their program so they actively seek a more eclectic student body. My suggestion would be to make sure your personal statement is authentic and memorable! As well as having your LOR's reflect different qualities you possess. I politely suggested focal topics for my Recomenders to write about. LOR1: a former Proffesor of mine wrote about jay32dubb the student. LOR2: a Nurse Practitioner (whom I've known for quite some time) focused on jay32dub the person. LOR3: a Physician Assistant that i shadowed who focused on jay32dubb the future healthcare provider. I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay32dubb Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Aid5047, i have no idea where i will be staying. I am considering campus owned apartments located on fifth st. The prices are reasonable, and the location is ideal. But i may stay elsewhere. Do you have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llmiller03 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I am hoping by early this week we have heard. I got into another school and only have a little longer before I must send in my deposit but I am waiting on Chatham :/ Good Luck everyone... It'll all work out how its meant too, but this waiting could drive anyone crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
