pa12 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Congrats to everyone who got accepted!! and those who are still waiting, be patient :) My interview was short, like 10 minutes and it seems like that's the average time for everyone, not sure if that's how they used to be in previous years. My overall GPA is 3.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa12 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The person who called me didn't mention anything about the orientation, she said I will receive a letter with more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yacosta815 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Check your email. The letter is usually sent via email after they call you to tell you personally that you got accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadassah Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Well it's nearing the end of a long wait in my hope and dream of becoming a PA, the anticipation of hearing of my status is truly a test of my faith, yet I am still hopeful. Hope to receive that call! ???? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutiejoyce520 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I just received my rejection email as well, category 6. The wait was painful and the rejection letter was a little harsh to take in. But I will keep trying and know this is just a part of life. Congratz to all those who got accepted, best wishes to you guys!! To those who got the rejection email, do not give up!!

Josh18 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just got the rejection email. I guess they really do only accept minorities because I have a 4.0 gpa , member of national society of collegiate scholars, an emt volunteer and still got rejected.

Yacosta815 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Ok. I've been sitting on this for a while now. I feel like I must comment on it. It was questioned before that Harlem (it's the preferred name as opposed to SD; we pride ourselves on being the Harlem PA Program) will not accept you if you are not a minority. I can absolutely attest to the fact that that is 100% NOT true. They don't judge based on the color of your skin. They judge based on the content of your application & more importantly, the content of your interview. There are white people accepted into this program. There are white people in both my class & the junior class. In fact, our program director is a white woman who is a graduate from our program. Remember, it is not about who has the highest GPA, who is the poorest applicant or what race or ethnicity you are. They are looking at the overall package, which is more than just your GPA & race. In my class, we have students from all walks of life. Those that still live with their families, those that are single parents & those who are on their own financially. While some have the finances to pay for this program, whether it be from their own savings or because of help from their family or their spouse, many are surviving off of student loans. Harlem is currently the only PA program that still has written as part of its mission statement to both help serve underserved communities & focus on providing medical education to those of limited finances & of ethnic backgrounds underrepresented in the medical profession. I just came back from 2014 AAPA conference in Boston & I was saddened by the lack of racial diversity there. I was filled with so much pride knowing that Harlem is full of different shades of brown, black, yellow, red AND white. The fact of the matter is that since Harlem is not a part of CASPA, it truly is a hidden gem. Many hopeful PA students either: 1) don't know about it, 2) don't want to apply to it because it is located in Harlem, or 3) feel that it is subpar because the GPA requirements are less than other schools. The plain fact of the matter is that the majority of the applicants that apply are those that can't meet the general requirements from other schools, which tend to be minorities. Either way, it is a great program that chooses the best candidates regardless of their race. Pleases don't insinuate that Harlem only picks students based on the color of their skin, which is what it appears to have been stated several times here.
