akdEM Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Just wanted to say HI to anyone applying to UK this year! Applications open in about a week, and I'm eager to get this process started. Anyone else out there applying to UK??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbears11 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I am :) And I am extremely eager and excited as well!! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbeth Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I am considering applying, but don't think i will get in. My GPA is lower that the average, as I majored in something difficult (chemistry). I feel like I am in perpetual punishment for not taking the path of least resistance, and majoring in something easy, like health sciences/nutrition/exercise science. I can't compete with their 4.0 GPAs. I interviewed in Hazard for the DPT, but didn't get in. I figure if I can get into the DPT next year, when I get ready to do PA, it will help alot. Does anyone know if UK PA replaces grades? I have and am retaking pre-reqs (As in both organics!), and i am not opposed to going to the Morehead campus, if that's what it takes. Good luck everyone! P.S. I got an interview for the DPT, but did not get an interview for a CC PTA program. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosefraba1 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm attending the open house next week... and I'm starting the application process too. We will see how this all goes... but hopefully I will at least learn something about trying to get into one of these schools. Good luck to everyone.

akdEM Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 kellbeth, I don't really know about whether or not they replace grades. I know that CASPA calculates BOTH grades into your GPA. I would assume UK just uses what CASPA gives them.... so that might mean they do not replace grades. I'm not sure though. You should go to the open house on the 15th and ask them that! Are you planning on getting a DPT (as in doctor of physical therapy?) and then doing PA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM2010 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey everyone! Do you know how out of state residents compare to instate? Is there a preference from the ADCOM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 I haven't heard anything specific about favoring KY residents. Aside from a major tuition discount... They probably do like to keep most of their grads in state, and choosing KY residents is a good way to do that. It's definitely not like some schools where it is nearly impossible for out of state students to get accepted. I know of at least 2 people from other states that are in the program now... for that that's worth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbears11 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 nothing. i sent everything in at the end of may and then caspa sent out with the first flow a couple weeks ago. im dying here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 When I talked to Linda Allen a few weeks ago she made it seem as though the interview invites would be sent out around the middle of July. It sounded like they were trying to get them done before that, but realistically it will be more like mid-month. Can't wait either! I'll update as soon as I hear anything!

akdEM Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 I haven't gotten any email like that. I don't think they send those out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM2010 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Does anyone know if they still plan to hold interviews the 2nd week in August? It seems like they are cutting it close for those who have to book flights, it gets extremely pricey when your booking within a few weeks... No word yet and my application status still says routed! Getting excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 I think Lexington interviews are August 8-10th. Morehead interviews are a few days later I believe... Just out of curiosity, where are you flying in from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosefraba1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Excited isn't quite the word.... I'm getting antsy..... I mean I have sent several emails to check if everything was received and nothing back :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbears11 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 i called them at the end of june to make sure they recieved my supplemental app, money, transcripts and everything (im out of state so ive got extra papers to write and such) and they did tell me that my stuff was in and that i should be good to go. i havent heard anything from then since though so.. super antsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Getting antsy here too... I emailed yesterday and haven't heard back. Maybe they all locked themselves in a room with the stack of applications and wont't come out until they have it narrowed down. Kind of like choosing a new pope...

akdEM Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Lol... Well I emailed Linda Allen yesterday asking when she thought invites would go out. Her exact words were they'll be sent out "in a couple of weeks." So it sounds like we have quite a bit more waiting to do... It's gonna be a long 2 weeks.

Goosefraba1 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I can never get Linda to respond to me.... which email are you using for her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosefraba1 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 If we have to wait two more week to hear if we have an interview.... then interviews are going to have to be at least two weeks after that. So.... I'm guess that interviews will have to be no earlier than August 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM2010 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 They have posted the interview dates as August 8th-10th... A few more weeks would almost put us at that date... How can the interviews be held with that short of notice? Anyone contact them to see if the interview dates have changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
