katmetzger Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hey guys. I'm going to be interviewing on September 11th. I'm very excited but also a little nervous about this point in time. Is it too late to be given a seat? Plus, I was told that this is a MMI format with a group exercise and writing sample. Are there any current students or past interviewees who have advice to share? This was the best date that I could pick because I will be out of town on the August dates and I really didn't want to take the last October date in case the class was already filled. How many total seats do they offer? Please share any advice and also any pros/cons about the program that enticed you. Thank you and good luck to everybody!

PAgrit Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I applied last week, any chances of still getting an interview date / email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubiFTW Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 This years class will have 45 seats compared to 35 from last year. It's definitely beneficial to go to the earliest interview available as they do rolling admission. For the interview, it was an interview with the director, group activity, essay, and 6 MMI. I had a positive vibe of the program after talking to faculty member and current students. Although it's a brand new program it seems like they are headed in the right direction. As far as applying late, I spoke with a PA student there that said she applied super late and was offered and interview and ultimately a seat. There were also multiple PA students there that were waitlisted and eventually offered a seat as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember specifically, but I'm almost positive there are still interview slots open because it's still so early in the cycle so don't lose hope!!! As far as stats go... I think caspa calculated my science gpa as 3.47 and my cum gpa was 3.57. I had ~4,300 hrs as a medical assistant and scribe. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgrit Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Caspa calculated my gpa for science to be 3.75 or 3.78 and cum.GPA of 3.55 I have about 2300 hours mostly as PT aide and 150 hours from the 2300 as a medical assistant at doctor's office. Has anyone who applied around my time heard anything back from them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcapas Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Do they have a supplemental? It says "USJ CASPA Supplemental Application" under admissions. I can't find the link if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I am pretty sure their supplemental is just a verification of healthcare hours form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
