prePA3 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I have a quick question about Optional "Academic Statement" essay. Did anyone write an essay or just a small paragraph about the grade changes in their transcript? I had a few discrepancies in my academic record that, after meeting with Erin in person, I was encouraged to discuss in the academic record section. Some have little to no changes in their transcripts, and for those individuals--LUCKY! But for me, science wasn't my forte and it took a lot of tutoring and rebuilding of my studying habits before I found success with the pre-reqs and upper division courses. So think of it as a way and opportunity to explain anything in your transcript, such as lower grades or withdrawals. And to directly answer your question, I wrote about 550 words. But I imagine those who do not have discrepancies on their transcripts would either write just a small paragraph or leave that option blank.

tavenne323 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I didn't really have anything to write about my academics In terms of poor grades. So, I addressed the changes in my career decision that made undergrad last too many years. I also addressed the one W I have, even though it is a passing W. I have a quick question about Optional "Academic Statement" essay. Did anyone write an essay or just a small paragraph about the grade changes in their transcript?

Shaq Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 It seems not many people on this forum are interested in UW-Madison, but, I am! So, I'm starting this thread even though it may be a bit early since CASPA just opened. Good Luck to everyone! I have applied to UW- Madison and very much interested.

Shaq Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I have applied to UW-Madison for 2015-2016 cycle. This is my first time applying here. What I understand that its a two day process and two interviews of about 15 minutes each. Does anyone know anything more than this about the interview process? Anyone applied to UW-Madison and faced the interview before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaq Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just a reminder to everyone, interview invites won't be sent until middle of December. They've been consistent with that for the past years (Dec 15 last year). Good luck to all! Hi, Do you mind sharing your interview experience from last year at UW-Madison?

Anyone applied to UW-Madison and faced the interview before? On the website, it breaks down what the two day interview includes! For example, there will be a chance to meet and mingle with other candidates, current PA students, and faculty, there will be a luncheon, and a tour of facilities, a few speakers from the program, and the two day process will conclude with interviews.

hopefultobePA Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 This wait is sooooo painful. Madison is my first choice and where I really want to go more than anything. After a site visit it just gave me even more assurance. Dec is so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiee15 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Has anyone heard when the actual date in Dec this year we will get the email? I went to a recent info session, and Erin said it would be around Dec 14 later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alixandrea92 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I applied for the distance education option! I'm so nervous! My gpa isn't that great but I have great essays and a major upward trend in grades. Tons of science heavy classes and a lot of experience. So fingers crossed! I'm applying from Michigan!

Alixandrea92 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah I just went through all the years and it looks like either Monday night or Tuesday night. I only applied for the distance education slot. Do you know the stats for that specifically by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichPrePA2 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Oh nice! Good luck to you!! I'm on the alternate list right now at CMU. I applied out of state mostly. I heard Madison is amazing, so I applied to their regular program :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
