rallen Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Does anyone know if South accepts online Prereqs? I still need my Organic and need to sign up for it ASAP. Thank you! I am pretty sure that this information is addressed on the FAQs page as well as the admissions requirements page. I would look at that. From what I can remember, I am fairly certain that you cannot take Organic online as it needs to be lab based. If this is not the case for South, it is the case for nearly every other PA program. However, even if South does accept online courses, I do know that when looking at your coursework, they consider the quality of the course and the school you took it from. Something to keep in mind. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
had1118 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 @Cjbwiley-South does accept online courses as long as they are from an accredited university. I've taken a few. Kimberly Hahn, their enrollment manager verified that they do accept them. Just be sure it has a lab component as rallen said above. Good luck to you! Also, I would strongly advise AGAINST University of New England's Online Organic Chemistry class. Feel free to message me if you would like more info.

BPB Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Is each application sent in verified separately ? Or is your entire application verified at one time ? Also if you add schools you are applying to before your initial application is verified does that push you back in the line to be verified?

Cjbwiley Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Has anyone received invites lately? They've had my app for about two weeks now and I haven't heard anything. Good luck to everyone going to interviews today and tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpatino15 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 So far I've only heard of the July 1st and July 8th interview. Has anyone received invites lately?

jpatino15 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 How did your interview go @jpatino15? I think it went pretty well. It was very laid back so my jitters went away after the first interview. It felt like I was having a normal conversation really. They also said that we will probably hear back in two weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkPeonies Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am interviewing July 21-22. Received the email invitation on June 30. Anyone with hotel recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jms91 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 @pinkpeonies I interviewed June 30th/July 1. I had to get a flight and hotel so I used travelocity and got a great deal at the Oglethorpe Inn and Suites. It was certainly a little dated, but it was clean and homey... and cheap. It is less than 5 mins from the school, I wouldn't say walking distance because of the heat but it's maybe a mile from the school. If you're looking for convenience and you don't want to worry about traffic, I would look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kora1 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 SACS and the ARC accreditation is different from each other. The reason why they have the SACS warning is because of the financial stability of the parent corporation. It has very little to do with South University itself. I know some people say its’ on probation but it’s actually a warning which will be discussed again in December 2015. http://www.sacscoc.org/2014decemberActionsandDisclosureStatements/SouthUniversityBDG.pdf PA accreditation is completely different and they get reviewed for that in September. The PA program itself has a good reputation. As far as PA eligibility according to NCCPA “To be eligible for PANCE, you must graduate from a program accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) as a Physician Assistant Program. PA program graduates will be deemed to have graduated from an accredited program if their PA educational program was accredited at the time of their matriculation." I only looked up license requirements in a few states that I may eventually practice in and so far you have the ability to practice contingent on you passing your boards and graduating from an ARC-PA program. Also since ARC-PA is recognized by the U.S. government as a higher education accrediting organization, I think the PA school is fine. I hope this eases everyone's concerns. Again the school is a really good school and the faculty is extremely nice. I had a friend graduate from there a little while ago and she loved the program. So as long as the school/program doesn't all of a sudden shut down (which it shouldn't), I think everyone is fine. I'm not sure if I'm right in all of this as all of this came from doing a quick google search. Your best bet is to ask the University itself on the situation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boliver12 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 But it seems like they do a good job in who they atleast choose for the interview. Every one had about the same level of nervousness, but everyone was present to talk to; no one was to themselves the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
