Jason Diaz Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sorry.. I couldn't tell by the name ????. I have a 3.5 GPA with a 3.9 science GPA. This is my first time applying and I have almost 6 years hospital experience as a pharm tech and now health care admin. I don't have any degrees though ???? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 But you have an AA right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 You should def be invited for testing. You have a lot of experience. I'm positive we will get it. But I hope it happens soon because we waited this whole week already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petunia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi Jason & Fgoetz- have no fear... but you won't be getting an email today. I just called to try to get confirmation, and Jackie who is scheduling all the exams has today off. The gal on the phone said she will continue scheduling the exams Monday and there is no one else I can talk with before Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Omg!! I can't believe that it's taking so long.... Thank you for the update! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petunia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 FGOETZ - last year they werent testing until late march and getting emails late February.... And they still started in June, so if you think about it that way, they are ahead of schedule a bit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yea I know but it's still torture to wait to hear from them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petunia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 FOGOETZ - do you have healthcare experience? Are you working at the GYN clinic? What do you do? And believe me... I understand too... the impression I got from the call was that since I didn't email in time, that I lost my test chance... but I have proof that I emailed.. I keep calling to try to get confirmation I am trying not to worry... because since I have proof of RSVPing in time.. I'd hope that theyd let me test, even if I got bumped from my original time..but stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petunia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm curious - how old are ya'll?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yea you will be fine. I only have my shadowing for the gyn and a general Doctor. I do not work in the medical field. I actually work at a restaurant to put me through school. So I know it may be harder for me but I take my chances. I have a friend who graduated last year from the program and she only had shadowing experience as well. My grades are good so that might help :) Jackie told me I was definitely taking the test when I showed her my application maybe that's why I'm even more nervous that I haven't heard anything g yet.

Petunia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I would think if Jackie said that, then you will get an invite, it's encouraging that the woman on the phone today told me that Jackie is still working on the scheduling of tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yea it's just a matter of time. Hopefully I get a later date. I feel a little overwhelmed with all that information at this point haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petunia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yup! I'll be 32 before the program starts.. which is nice... I feel like I've had enough careers and enough healthcare jobs to really feel focused on what I want to do with the rest of my life. When I was younger, I was too scattered- and I don't think I would have been successful at PA school 10 years ago. I have meet PA students that are in their young 20s and doing great, but I needed to be more settled I guess.... Where do you live? Where did you do your BS?

FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yes I feel the same. I think that age has its advantage. I actually don't have a BS only an AA. It's been a journey for me lol I'm actually German I've been here 10 years now so it wasn't always easy to go to school. Plus I have no family here. Ill be 32 in August [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPA-S Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Did you only apply at MDC since you have a BS you had more options as far as different schools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Diaz Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm 32.. will be 33 in November. FGOETZ I felt a little overwhelmed also and im nervous about the test but this study group has been going well. Try to join one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
