CASPA Announcements

[ddisilvestro]

To all considering applying to PA school through CASPA in the 2015-2016 application cycle: the CASPA application for the starting class of 2016 (or January 2017) will open on April 22, 2015.

The CASPA application platform will be updated with this new cycle, which will offer many exciting features for both applicants and programs, including a new and improved user interface, design, and customizable options. The change to this new platform will NOT allow for any re-applicants regardless if you have applied in the current CASPA cycle. ALL applicants will be required to begin a completely new application when the 2015-2016 cycle opens on April 22. CASPA will be unable to make exceptions to this so please keep this in mind when considering applying in the new cycle. We know you will be pleased with all of the system and application updates.

Will  you be offering the Course Entry service again?

[ddisilvestro]

Yes, the coursework entry service will be offered to applicants. With the change in the application interface, though, I would encourage you to try entering your coursework. While you will still have to enter every transcript, every course, the interface is much more user friendly and the application service is finding that the section is taking an average of 25-45 minutes per applicant with the new interface. So, if money is a concern and time is not, give it a try. If opposite, you may want to consider using the service. 

 

Please note, that this service does NOT speed up the verification process or move you ahead in line for verification. 

 

Thank you,

Danielle
