knic Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Me! Toledo is one of my top choices, but yeah they don't have rolling admissions so we won't hear anything until the end of the year :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtoB Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 They're one of my top choices as well. And their info session was the best of the ones I've attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAchick Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Was anyone else surprised that a requirement of the secondary app is a photograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtoB Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 That vaguely surprised me, but I could see it as a benefit if I was on the committee trying to remember everyone I interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmium Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Haha I was surprised! I actually emailed them about the photo because there were no instructions associated with it, only "upload a photo." My boyfriend said I should have just uploaded a picture of our cat. xD I also thought UT's information session was super inviting! Really hoping for an interview! Good luck everyone!

Osmium Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Was just looking back through my email and was reminded of this little gem from UT: "We anticipate scheduling interviews during January 2014." Get ready to play The Waiting Game - Hard Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajh31590 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Was there an extra prereq sheet to fill out aside from CASPA and the supplemental that is accessed through caspa --> my programs ?? I read somewhere there was an additional prereq form to complete. It may have been from a few years back.. but we can't be too careful with these apps! Please let me know if I'm missing anything aside from caspa and the supplemental accessed through caspa. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knic Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The way they mentioned it made it seem like the sheet and the supplemental were 2 different things, but the prereq form was included in the supplemental app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtoB Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Everything I did was through the CASPA link. And there was a checklist of to-do things? Or I am confusing it with another app? I remember filling out pre-req form, uploading a photo, and filling out some other form. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIPA-C Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think the prerequisite form is together with the supplemental application. It's not a separate document that you can access. @PAtoB, I remember doing the same as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh31590 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 thanks everyone. I was just a little paranoid.. I ended up getting an email today saying that my application is being reviewed so I assume everything is correct. @knic, thats why I was confused because on the website they mentioned to do the supplemental, and the prereq form. Again, thanks a lot and good luck everyone! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpangind Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hey guys! Received an email earlier this morning stating this: "Hello, This is an update on the UT PA Program Admission Cycle. At this time we are reviewing your application. With over 900 applications this cycle, this process is lengthy. We interview in January and February of 2014 and will begin scheduling these interviews in late December. Thank you University of Toledo Physician Assistant Program Admission Committee" Looks like people will be receiving news in December after all! Best of luck to everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAtoB Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 i got it. 900 is an insanely high total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh31590 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 That's the same email I got. Last year I think they had even more applicants.. This waiting game is the worst :( Does anyone know how many people they interview, and how many people they accept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpangind Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I read in a previous thread that the school interviewed 249 applicants last year; this is in agreement with their PA site which states they conducted a little over 200 interviews. As far as acceptances go, they said: Acceptance: Candidates with the highest scores (based upon the candidate's completed CASPA application and interviews) will be recommended to the UT College of Graduate Studies for acceptance. The number of candidates recommended for acceptance will be determined annually by the PA Program class size. For the academic year starting in August, the program expects to accept 45 students. Following interviews, candidates are informed of acceptance in March.so from 900 applicants, narrowed down to ~250 interviews, even further narrowed down to 45 acceptances... seems like a tight fit. I'm not sure how competitive I am with those odds, especially since I'm out of state. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIPA-C Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I got the same email too. I agree, they sure don't accept many people compared to the number of applicants. It's a really nice school, was going to transfer to UT as an undergrad to increase my chances of getting accepted into their PA program, but the out of state cost was too high.

knic Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Even though only 45 students matriculate, I'm sure some decline and they accept more than that. Good luck guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisemakl Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just letting you guys know, they will only matriculated a max of 45 students. They send out batches of acceptances, and once they get declines they send more. And yes, PATIENCE is a vertue, but it's worth it in the end!
