bdub Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi all, I am planning on applying to RMC this coming 2011-2012 cycle. I was wondering what everyone's stats were that have been accepted. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardsgirl Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi!! I am planning on applying this cycle as well!! I will graduate from the University of Montana in the fall of 2011. I am going to apply this summer once the summer session courses are completed. I have ~3.7 GPA . I am a Psychology major. I have an AAS degree in Cardiac Ultrasound. HCE Experience/Volunteer : ( as of July 2011 when I apply) 1000 HCE as a cardiac ultrasound tech intern (while in school) 150 hours paid HCE as a cardiac ultrasound tech (PRN job in Hamilton, MT) 276 hours of HCE as a health department intern at the Missoula Indian Center 1.5 years volunteering as a Youth Leader for my church youth group 30 Hours of PA job shadowing Member of Phi Kappa Phi National Honors Society Thats all I can think of as of now. :) I will be applying with 3 pre-reqs still in progress though. I will be taking Calc, a Microbiology Lab, and A&P II in the Fall of 2011, hopefully that won't hurt my chances. Being from Missoula I would LOVE to stay in the state. This is the only school I am going to apply to this cycle. What about you?? Are you from MT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I will be graduating from North Dakota State University in Fargo this May. After I graduate I plan on moving back home, which is northwest MN in the middle of nowhere lol. I have ~3.6 gpa with a major in Biotechnology and a minor in Chemistry. I took the GRE and got an 1100 with a 4.0 in the writing, I plan on retaking it though to see if I can get a higher score. HCE Experience as of mid-August when I apply will be about 1100 hours, I have about 1000 hours of volunteering, and will have about 50 hours shadowing PAs. I also plan on applying to schools in the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Dakota areas besides Rocky Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardsgirl Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Awesome!!!! I really really really hope I get in at Rocky since its the ONLY program in MT!!!!!! Are you applying to Augsburg in MN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yes I'm planning on applying to Augsburg. St Kate's (really close to Augsburg) is also starting a PA program hopefully for fall of 2012 and I will probably apply to that one as well.

swimbikerun4fun Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hey guys, I am applying to UND and USD. Are you (bdub) applying to either of those? I graduated from Concordia College in Dietetics and Exercise Sci. I have been working as a dietitian and diabetes educator. I am from Willmar, MN and currently live in Bismarck, ND.

bdub Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yes I am applying to USD but I don't meet the 3 years clinical experience in one's current licensure requirement for UND so I won't be applying there. It makes me mad because I live about 45 minutes away from that school and having a CNA doesn't count for clinical experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am also really paranoid about getting into school so I'm applying to about 10 schools lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbikerun4fun Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hi Bdub, I have decided to drop my app to USD. I know some good things about the program if you want to PM me for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardsgirl Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I just received an automated email from RMC saying they received my app. How long did it take for them to call you guys after they received your app?? Thank you for the insight! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardsgirl Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi Knielsen! When did you receive your phone call? And when did they receive your app? They have had my app for about a week and still no phone call....im doubtful. Thanks!! :) And Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardsgirl Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I am hoping this is the week I hear from RMC. They have had my app for about 2 weeks so hopefully that is enough time to review it and invite me to an interview!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardsgirl Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Ok, so RMC has had my app for a solid three weeks and no phone call. Pretty sure I am doomed at this point. I think everyone else had already received phone calls and interview invites. I will definitely be applying as early as possible next year! :) Does anyone have any feedback from the interviews??

Sara Wajek Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Medgirl, they had my application for about 5 weeks before I heard anything. I wouldn't get too discouraged yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardsgirl Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Thank you for the encouragement Sara!!! You made my night!! I did not realize they had your app that long. Woohoooooo, there is still a glimmer of hope!!! haha. If anyone wants to PM me about how interviews are going I would really appreciate it!! :) I hope everyone has a fabulous week!!

christel Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm interviewing this friday. They had my application for several months before I got the invite so dont worry too much. I'll let you all know how it goes. Sounds like its a full day with personal interview, group interview, current student meetings, sitting in on a class, and hopefully lots of other helpful information. Wish me luck!

chuckthecat Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Anyone interviewing Nov. 11th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardsgirl Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 SO I got rejected this cycle. Margia said they are not counting HCE hours that are not paid. I did not know that or I would have waited to apply! About 1000 of my 1500 hours were intern/non-paid as an ultrasound tech. Soooo it looks like I will be re-applying asap in April with the next cycle opens when I have more PAID HCE hours. Good luck to all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
