Anyone apply in May? Have you heard anything yet?

I was verified from CASPA May 22. I called to make sure my application had in fact been received because I hadn't heard anything and was reassured that they had my application but were waiting to send out supp apps until end of June or beginning of July. She said if I hadn't received anything by July to check in on it again.

I just spoke with her and she said they are going to start uploading CASPA apps on Monday and we should be receiving a supp app shortly after that! Yay!!! So excited!!!

Can anyone explain how to enter the credits in the transcript section? I took 8 credits at a regional campus and 128 from the main campus. However, all of the credits are listed on one transcript and there is no indication as to which classes were taken at which campus. Should I still split up the credits under the different campuses when I list them on the application? I don't want to list them the wrong way and make it confusing for adcoms.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey question! So on the supplemental application, under PA shadowing experiences it states to "like all shadowing experiences...etc" but the title is PA shadowing experiences, so do I list all shadowing experiences in general like doctors..etc or do i just list shadowing PA experiences??

I think this came up in previous forums, you are supposed to list all shadow experience even though it is labeled PA shadow

I included all of my shadowing experiences, and just made sure to indicate whether the provider was a PA-C, MD, DO, etc. Hope this helps!
