md3517 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hello all, Just an update for the 2013 caspa application cycle.. I completed and submitted my apps in May. I interviewed for Phila U August 23rd and was accepted the following week. The interview was done by a member of the staff and a student after a program overview by the assistant director. He then called the following week to accept me. I just have to send in my deposit ($2,000.. yikes!) by next week. Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcreek Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I interviewed on the 21st and was also accepted. That $2,000 deposit is enormous. It is the most expensive deposit I have heard of so far at any PA program. I was accepted to some other rolling admission schools as well, and still waiting to hear from the non-rolling ones (including my top choice). The CASPA Policies and Procedures Manual put out by PAEA recommends "If requiring a deposit from selected applicants to hold a seat, programs should consider setting that deposit at a reasonable amount so as not to financially burden the applicant." I consider that $2,000 to be financially burdensome, considering how much most of us have already spent on GRE's, CASPA applications, secondary applications, travel costs to attend interviews, etc. $500 seems to be about the norm to hold a seat at most programs. All that being said, I really feel that the PA program at Philadelphia University is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcreek Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I decided to decline my acceptance offer at Philadelphia University, so that opens up another spot for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
