Katelyne Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hey all! Has anyone received the supplemental yet? My CASPA was verified over three weeks ago. I know they say wait four weeks, just wondering if anyone received theirs early or what not. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My CASPA was verified on June 3rd and I'm still waiting to hear as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganW Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My CASPA was verified on May 20th, and I am also waiting to hear back! The wait is killing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katelyne Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Okay, I am so glad I am not the only one. I've just seen from past years that it is a longer supplemental application. I want to get it done ASAP so this wait is definitely killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culbreth007 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 My CASPA was verified on May 14th and I still haven't received anything. Yea, I'm the same way..I like to submit the entire application as soon as possible so this wait is killing me. Hopefully they will start sending the emails out soon.

PAspaghetti Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Is it actually four weeks or is that just the minimum? I submitted mine about three and half weeks ago and am on pins and needs waiting for the supplemental. Anyone get it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpangind Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 My CASPA was verified May 13, no word yet on supplemental either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncgirl63 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 DPAP c/o 2015 here. If I recall correctly it takes at least a month to get the supplemental. I know it's hard to be patient, but it will come. Take your time to complete the supplemental without any errors, and have someone else proof it before you submit. Good luck!

Katelyne Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Well thank you, that's super helpful uncgirl63! I know I am on the edge of my seat. Any advice on what they are looking for with the supplemental app? I saw the previous questions, I was just wondering as an insider if you knew what they were looking for.

Daxmotis1989 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah mine was verified 5/27. Im hoping for duke, but haven't received the supp app yet. If i don't get in though and get in to OHSU I won't be that disappointed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganW Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This supplemental application seems pretty extensive. Has anyone taken a look at the application yet? There is a section under patient care that asks you the "agreeable/positive aspects" of your patient care responsibilities and there is a second section asking the "disagreeable/negative aspects" of your responsibilities. Does anyone know if you should list these, write out a short paragraph? And what if you don't necessarily think there was anything negative about your patient care responsibilities?? Also, are we supposed to do anything with the "recommendations" section, or is it simply stating the references you listed in CASPA that they will be using? Should I be letting my references know that they'll be receiving an evaluation to fill out from Duke? I've asked the second question to the PA admissions email at Duke and am hoping to hear back shortly, but if anyone finds out beforehand I would appreciate a response! Thanks and good luck to all of you who have received a supplemental!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcardill Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I submitted my supplemental application on Saturday and under "agreeable/positive aspects" I just put a couple honest sentences. I figured that they will ask plenty of questions on your patient care experience during an interview, so I didn't get too caught up on that section.

taotaox1 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think I wrote mine in paragraph form. Just like dressing up in an job interview, you wont go wrong by being more formal if you are not sure. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIPANC Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does anyone know how to show that you double majored in the supplemental application? There is only room to put in one major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scshelton91 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hi all! Finally getting some time to sit down and focus on this supplemental. Who knows how we should enter lab components of courses which received their own grade separate from the actual lecture course? For example, I took Organic Chem 1 and a separate Organic Chem 1 lab (each of which got an individual grade). The labs count for 1 credit hour, how to I enter this and avoid the "error: each course must be at least 3 credit hours" message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIPANC Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 In the chemistry section it allowed me to put in 2 labs which are separate from the course without giving an error message because these are pre-reqs. However for classes like anatomy where lab isn't required you're not able to click the check mark for that course. In other words, only click the pre-req check for the 2 classes and 2 labs for chemistry...anything else and you will get an error. For A&P you can't check any labs, same with biology. Hope this helps. Good luck with the application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Are there any paramedics filling out this app? I can't find a lot of the alphabet card certifications under the certification drop down box. They don't have PALS, PEARS, ITLS, or PHTLS? Should we put the first year we received the certificate, or our most recent recert year? Also, what did everyone put for the education section where it asks if your academic record accurately reflects your capabilities? I feel like mine does, but not sure if simply putting "yes" is enought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
