PACrankset Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hey everyone, Colorado applicant here. First time applying, I'm curious what other schools people have applied to. I'm a little late to the party and all the other schools I like require GRE which I haven't taken, so I'm an all eggs in one basket candidate this year.

AB0813 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hey everyone, I also applied to UPAP! Good luck to everyone!!!! Also, @milesHenson1, it's my first time applying as well, and haven't taken the GRE either. I have a few schools in California (where I live), and also Pacific in OR.

PACrankset Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 AB0813, My stats are decent, around 3.7 cumulative GPA, science is around 3.4. I have over 5,000 HCE hours, 150hrs shadowing and 500 volunteer hours. I have two bachelor degrees, graphic design and general education. I'm hopeful of getting and interview but will see what happens. What are your stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB0813 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 @milesHenson1, your stats are competitive. Mine are different. cum GPA around 3.4, science 3.8ish, 2600+ HCE, ~100 shadowing and ~300 volunteer. Undergrad in sociology. I've studied/lived overseas and am bilingual, so hoping that helps! This admissions process is so varied and uncertain, but all we can do is stay positive and wish everyone the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic260 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Oh give me a break. First off, in the real world you have time to prepare written responses in graduate level or any other level. Secondly, there is no honor code to sharing or not sharing the essays the reason they want to time you is so that you don't have any time to prepare or edit. They want to know you visceral reaction to the topics much like an interviewer wants to see your response in an interview. Its standard stuff. For those uber competitive people out there....dont worry....your HCE and GPA is mostly what is looked at NOT what you say in a small blurb of your life...thats just to determine if they can stand to be around you for 2 years.

PACrankset Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Has anyone heard anything in the way of an email about receiving applications after submitting their CASPA applications to UPAP? Just curious as I have not heard anything about receiving the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbell03 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I haven't heard anything since I submitted the supplemental application. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarloaf3 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Do you get an email to complete the supplemental app or is it the section under "program materials" on the caspa website? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACrankset Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You should get an email from UPAP for the supplemental shortly after you submit your application. It does take long to complete, about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsle85 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ugh. I personally love essay questions and I messed up on these. The timed format plus word count really got to me. It wasn't HORRIBLE, but definitely not putting my best foot forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcreek Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I wish you all the best! Feels like just yesterday I was going through this process. Now I'm in my second year just starting clinical rotations here at UPAP. It's a great program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoe Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 rcreek, do you know when they usually send out invitations for interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbell03 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I found that info on their website under important dates...says early to mid October they will extend interviews. They have two sessions of interviews. One at the end of October and one in early November. I know everyone is excited and anxious to hear from them!! ☺ Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoe Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks Shelbell03. Would be nice if all schools were on the same schedule but I know that isn't a realistic expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanaelima Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Marsle85 - I know how you feel. I also made a similar mistake on the supplemental and some other really stupid mistakes on the application. I'm really hoping it doesn't ruin my chances!
