emarr Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hey, when did you get your email confirming they received your CASPA app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caiallen Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 How long did it take for y'all to receive an interview invite after you submitted your application through CASPA? And do they notify you if you don't receive and interview? CASPA completely messed up my transcripts and didn't send my application until about a month ago. (They received 2 different school transcripts as one and took 2 months to fix it, Not a fan of CASPA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aag Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 How long did it take for y'all to receive an interview invite after you submitted your application through CASPA?

(They received 2 different school transcripts as one and took 2 months to fix it, Not a fan of CASPA) I think it is hard to say since a lot of us submitted our applications before CASPA went under construction between December and March and They didn't start looking at applications until April. I personally submitted the application and it was sent in March. I updated the school with significantly increased GRE scores in late June and got an interview invite mid July for July 26th and 27th. Good luck to all! There was 31 spots filled when I interviewed and there have been at least 8-10 people accepted since then. Wishing the best for everyone still waiting!!!

ewicks Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hey Everyone, I have my interview at South this coming Tuesday/Wednesday. It's my first interview, I'm soo nervous! I have lots of health care experience, but no shadowing experience...does anyone know if this is going to be an issue? Also, any words of advice for the interview would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dncntaz Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 You'll meet current students during your interview. Many of the ones I talked to had no HCE. As far as words of advice, read through the thread and you'll see what everyone has said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot! You will do great, just leave your nerves at the door and just be you. If the shadowing hOurs are a concern just explain how you feel your HCE has given light to the PA field if it has. Just be confident in yourself and your passion and it will come across. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrown288 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I just saw this thread. I am currently in the South University Program and I absolutely love it! Mercer's program is very new (about 3 years?) where as we have been around for over 10 years. The program is well established and well known within the PA world. The program is set up where we have great relationships with our professors and its very friendly/family-oriented. They do their best to eliminate competition and just promote learning... we have enough stress as it is being in PA school. If you have any questions specifically about the program or application process ask away! I would love to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown288 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 and when it comes to CASPA, you have to submit your application 5 weeks in advance to the application deadline. The application must be processed before the application date closes or there is a slim to none chance you will be accepted this round. I know it stinks... when I was applying that was my dilemma too and I didn't get into a few schools just because of the CASPA processing time gap.

jbrown288 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hey Ewicks, I was one of the ambassadors at the dinner tuesday night. Did I meet you? If so, how did your interview go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caiallen Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 My application didn't get sent until VERY late because CASPA mixed up my transcripts and received them as wrong schools. I was emailed today saying that I lacked Biology II (I wasn't aware that my previous Biologies did not count). It took about 2 weeks from when CASPA sent it for them to contact me. You should be hearing something soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I haven't but am basically considering that I'm not since they start school in like 3 months. Actually considering on giving up being a PA frankly. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emarr Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Rich, don't give up yet! A friend of mine went for a tour on Friday and they told her there are one or two more interview sessions being held in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dncntaz Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 South interviews through November, so there is still time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Talked with them this morning and they have one more interview date slotted in October. I'm not totally giving up, 'cause I don't do that. However, my faith is definitely drying up and frankly, I'm getting tired of being a student (i.e. just want to work in healthcare, especially since my brigade just left for another deployment and I miss them....'cause that's what medics do).

lilypad Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hey Jennifer! I met you at dinner on Sept 20th, I was sitting right across from you! It was really great meeting you and hearing all the amazing things you said about South! The interview process was wonderfully set up and I loved all the professors that I met with. It was a really great experience, and thanks for all your input! Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
