BRUWIN2013 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hey Ryan, thanks for offering your help. How is life at UC Davis? Were you an in-state or out-of-state student? No problem! I remember how helpful these forums were last year while I was applying. Life at UC Davis has been great so far! PA school is definitely a huge amount of information thrown at you all at once, so prepare yourself for that, but the faculty are extremely supportive and try to help you get the most from your experience. I'm lucky to have such an awesome cohort that works well together and creates a really comfortable program environment. We all work hard to prepare for exams and celebrate together as a group after. It's been a good balance between school and life. I was an in-state student, but our class is a nice mixture of both. Best of luck to you! Let me know if you have any other questions.

muko Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi, does anyone know if UC Davis will send out any supplemental application or do they only look at what you put on CASPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credere Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi, does anyone know if UC Davis will send out any supplemental application or do they only look at what you put on CASPA? Hi mikoBB, Based on last year's review, it sounds like UC Davis interviews eligible candidates first. Then they send out supplementaries to those who they are still interested in after the interview. Hope this answers your question and best of luck to you in this application cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAinprogress Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Got the interview invite!!! Excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtension Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Just got an interview email too, but I can't tell if it's actually an interview invite. Kind of confused since I know little about UC Davis' application process. The subject says Interview Invitation but body say: "We have completed the initial review of your application, and we are delighted to invite you to the in-person Candidate Visit Day as part of our admissions process."

JuniorTech2 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I received the invite this morning as well. I wonder if they will open up more dates or if they're set only for these dates in October. Nonetheless, very excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzysmiles Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I received the "Candidate Invite Day" invite too! They weren't very clear in the email whether or not this was the actual invite-invite though so I didn't select a date yet. Congrats to everyone else!

oreoo Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Interview invitation - going for Oct. 9th--anyone?! :D So I'm rather confused.. is the candidate invite day a pre-screening for possible interviews or is it the actual interview? And are we choosing a date FOR the interview OR the candidate invite day? Help! :o Would anyone mind sharing their stats and when they submitted their application?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Submitted ~ late May. B.S.

faPA35 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Received invite too! Scheduled for October 15th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaiyangShen Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 So blessed to be interviewing with you all! Funny that the dates happen to be when I will be in California vacationing. My family lives about 40 minutes from Sac/Davis area. My cousin is a Davis alumna, so she's showed me the area many times. Amazing Korean BBQ spots, vietnamese sandwich shops, dumpling houses. I am excited! I am sending everyone in this thread positive energy because I know what it's like to get rejections. I also just felt the joy of an acceptance after the stress of my first interview. I am thrilled to see what this great program is all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM17285 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Does anyone know if this is the interview? I scheduled it but I'm not sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyTurtle Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 So the visit day is the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtension Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Reading the clarification email, it seems the Campus Visit Day is the interview. It doesn't make sense for it to be mandatory otherwise. I'm not sure why they're not just calling it an interview though.

Have an interview on October 13 at Touro Nevada and I am staying with friends in California that weekend as a mini vacation. So it works out perfectly for me too! Super excited.

scgamerbabe Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Congrats to everyone who has gotten an interview email. Do any of you mind sharing when you submitted your application and when it actually got verified by CASPA? Thank you. Good luck to everyone!

BRUWIN2013 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Congratulations to all of you! You've made it past the hardest part, so take a deep breath and have some fun with the visit. Hope I get the chance to meet some of you on interview day =] I'm a current 1st year PA student at UCD. I heard they're changing interview day a lot compared to what they had for us last year. Last year, 110 were interviewed for our class size of 40 and supplemental applications were given to those who made it past the interview cuts. They haven't given us many details yet, but my classmates and I would be happy to answer any questions or help you all out in any way we can. We might try planning an informal dinner mixer with applicants and current students the night before each interview date, but more details to come on that. We're still working with admissions to see what their thoughts are. Best of luck to all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
