Henry519 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I got all of my application components complete and mailed to UF. CASPA mailed it mid-June, I paid for and submitted my supplemental application about a week and a half ago. Any idea on how long until I hear from UF in regard to receiving any of the material? When I check the status of my supplemental app it still says I do not have an active application for a future term. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Paramedic Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I recieved an email a couple of weeks ago stating that all my items were recieved and that anything further was needed they would contact me. My application was mailed the first week it was able in mid june. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The apps are rolling in this time of year, so it might take a bit for them to work through the mailings. Oh and just want to make sure, you did mail the supplemental application summary? To make the wait even more frustrating, the UF mail system can be very slow, so don't fret. You will get that email very soon! I've gathered that the first invites start going out in the third and fourth week of June. The first interview session is in late August. Hang on and good luck!

Henry519 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Wait, we have to mail the application summary? I thought it was submitted and paid for online. I did not notice anywhere saying that I have to physically mail it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Anyone? I'm flipping out now as I work the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 [h=3]Hey bud, this is directly from the website. I would not stress too much you have plenty of time. Mail it in to where you can receive receipt of its arrival. They will email you that all items were received but it will take them awhile because of the volume of applicants. University of Florida Supplemental Application[/h]An on-line application to the University of Florida, including a residency affidavit, must be completed immediately following submission of the CASPA application. The University of Florida supplemental application link is http://www.admissions.ufl.edu. Click the “Apply on line” tab. BE SURE TO CHOOSE “Professional Schools,” then “Create a New User Account.” Follow instructions for creating your user ID and password, and complete all sections — in section 2 (Degree Programs), choose “Summer B (June) 2014″ and “Medicine – Physician Assistant Program.” Re-applicants must complete a new application and pay the $30 application fee again. After paying the fee and submitting the application, all applicants should print out the application summary — keep a copy for your records and SEND A COPY to the UF School of Physician Assistant Studies, PO Box 100176, Gainesville, FL 32610-0176.

woodsters Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Did you mean 3rd/4th week of July for first invites? Be sure ro follow the directions that paramedic listed. Two common mistakes =failure to do supplemental as Professional school and failure to print and mail. In the past this wouldnt prevent you from getting an intervieq but who knows with the volume of apps that are received. best bet is to enaure it is done correctly. But dont sweat it!

GreatChecko Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks Woodsters and Medic for picking up my slack. :) Yeah...I apparently don't know what month it is anymore. Yes, invites will probably begin at the end of this month, July, the month that comes after the fireworks. I know it's easier said than done, but don't freak out if you don't immediately hear something, people are invited, interviewed, and offered spots throughout the fall. BTW, this is all very worth it, keep pushing. The program is awesome and the education is without compare. Going to a school at a large medical school shows in every aspect. I could go on and on...

watsn59 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hey guys, I received an interview offer today for August 26th and 27th. I'm pretty excited! FYI, I dropped my CASPA right away.....late April and completed my online supplemental right after. Also, I never printed and mailed the supplemental. Hope this helps.

cats22 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hey watsn59, when did you receive the email saying that your CASPA materials were received and your app was forwarded to the admissions committee? Just trying to get a time frame. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I submitted my application to CASPA in the middle of may, it mailed to UF june 6th and I did not received notification that it was received until june 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsn59 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 kellycat22, I received the "forwarded to the admission committee" email on June 20th. After going through my records, it looks like I submitted the supplemental on May 18th. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinita1002 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I had a question, did y'all email your resume to the school as well? It stated to do so in the "forwarded to the admission committee" email but I'm not sure if its ABSOLUTELY required or what they are looking for exactly.

GreatChecko Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I can't remember if I sent my resume or if I brought it to my interview. However, I'd definitely get it to the school. The way I see/saw it, CASPA printouts can be very tough to read and the easier you make it for the AdCom to see your qualifications, the easier it will be for them to accept you into the program. Furthermore, a resume allows you to highlight things in your background that get lost in the CASPA app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cats22 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hey watsn59, I got called for an interview last Friday as well! Did you get a packet or anything in the mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsn59 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 kellycat22, outstanding! Always fun to be wanted! :) haha Yes, I received a small packet in the mail. It included the invitation, some instructions and a map. What is your interview date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cats22 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ok thanks! I thought she mentioned something about a packet coming in the mail but I haven't received anything yet. Aug 26-28th. I guess I'll be seeing you then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 I also received an interview invite on Tuesday July 23 for August 26 - August 27! Still waiting on my packet to arrive. This is exciting! I need to get my resume updated now, bleh. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcourt90 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have a quick question/concern: my plan is to submit everything by September 1st, is that too late? The deadline is October 1, so I thought I was doing okay to shoot for a month early, but after investigation, I'm feeling a bit (or very) insecure about that choice. What do y'all think? Have I just shot myself in the foot here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd definitely apply! Interviews are held until early December, so you still have a chance. The process does take time, so apply as soon as you can and get ready to hurry up and wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliss929 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 For those of you that received interviews --- are any of you out-of-state applicants? I've heard UF is tremendously tough to get into as a non-Florida resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
