futurefemalePA Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 And they mentioned in the email that I got IV on the basis of Cum GPA SC GPA Medical background and education Test score What is your medical background? I volunteered for 1 year in derm, surgery, anesthesia , and cardiology I don't get it? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveN22s Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was advised not to talk about my score because it is a small part of the whole selection process. As ttkqq said, they score your app, GPAs, background. Further, as I understand it, your final test score includes the score of your essay. I don't think anyone knows how they did on the essay. If you nailed it, it might offset a marginal test score. Anyone have any insight into that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurefemalePA Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I must say the secrecy in how they select is somewhat unfair. And what is the harm in saying your score it allows us to understand what the average was. . And I was un aware that they didn't pick the top 100 TEST SCORES but they looked for everything else as well, ifI kknew that perhaps I wouldve worked harder in the other areas, I wouldve gotten a bachelors then applied, what's the point of having an associate program if they pick those with lower scores but have a bachelors? ??

ttkqq Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 they mentioned earlier that IV will be based on the calculations of every thing not only test scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveN22s Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Mrs. Martinez scored my app in her office. She said there were 37 points possible on the application. 100 on the written test. I think I heard 30 on the essay. not sure where or if there were other possible points. I'm not sure how all that factors in but there must be some matrix for it.

futurefemalePA Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ok so mr ttkqq im guessing you don't want to share your medical background. . Since you ignored my question lol... im guessing looks like in addition to the scores you have to have YEARS of MEDICAL EXPERIENCE not just one year im guessing. ..

zabak2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I dont understand why so many people here are so hesistant to disclose simple things. It is anonymous forum. Seems like some of the future PA are arogant people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveN22s Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Zabak, it has nothing to do with arrogance. I was advised by someone in a previous class not to talk about my test score or what was on it. Again this is a competition. All I can do is congratulate those who got interview invites and wish them well. If you read the boards from previous class years you will find the same things.

LinaL Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 As I said earlier plan B everybody, it is a combination of things don't feel bad. Heck, I have bachelors and a masters degree and more hours than you can count as well as being in nursing school for a second bachelor, I did ok on the entrance exam and excellent on the essay as it was a topic I had to do research on for my BSN. I wish everybody luck and best wishes never make one school your only option, always keep applying. I was interested in this program due to the fact that I could get a second masters without killing myself and my wallet... but I am still in the field and one thing that stands out; be the best and do better than expected. So when you do that head to toe be the better one catching clues and signs that others did not... In the end it is all about patient care and your ability to absorb clinical rotations. If you want to be a PA or nurse you will and one program not sending you an invite does not define you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
