Does anybody know how many people are usually on the wait list and how many students they pull from the wait list on average? Someone told me that the wait list is the same size as the class and they pull about half but I am not sure if that is true.

 

I was told the class size will be 24 and they usually wait list about 40 people. About 1/3 of the class from last application cycle was pulled from the wait list.

When I interviewed they said they increased the class size to 30 last year so hopefully more opportunity to move up from the wait list!

Hello future PAs!

I also interviewed on October 28th and recieved the invite only days before. I was so excited to receive the call for interview, as this is my top school.  I live 5 minutes away and was really impressed by the students.

My GPA from early follies is meh, but I have done great (3.96) the last 70 hours (over 200 hours total), 309 GRE with 4.5 analytical (can definitely improve), hold EMT-B and EMT-Paramedic certifications, currently work in ICU, previously excelled as a professional strength and conditioning coach (for 12 years), 3 years as a Diabetes exercise specialist, and currently work in ICU.

I know to the bone that I will be an excellent PA, but the field is very competitive and I worry about my chances.

My overall GPA and irregular academic record is definitely hindering me.

I applied to South the day before their due date as I was waiting for a few CASPA components.  

Hands clasped in prayer!

One interviewer was really impressed and actually said, "Great interview!"  The other two also went well, only time will tell if it was well enough.  I was so worried about not having any time to prepare, that I tossed and turned all night!  Slept maybe 2 hours.
Good luck to us all!

I had an interview on 10/30 and was called with an acceptance offer on 11/4. I was worried about my chances because I am not the typical student and my GPA was on the lower end. So don't be discouraged if you don't have the best scores, experience helps out too. Congrats to those of you who are accepted, I can't wait to meet the class!

Did anybody else get another wait list email today? I was wait listed at the beginning of October and got the same email again today.

 

I'm just guessing at this point but maybe they already pulled from the wait list and the rest of the applicants are on a more updated list. This duplicate email has me a little worried.
