doubledose Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 VJN, I got the email on Sept 26th. Just held off on announcing, I guess due to being lazy/shy. I see a lot of people are still waiting to hear back, so I thought I would let them know that the process is still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km46 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I interviewed back in August and haven't heard back from them. From my understanding they do early acceptance right after the interview and then regular acceptance after January? Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledose Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 To my understanding it takes about one-three weeks for the early acceptance (based on what I have heard). However, looking back at previous years it appears they are still accepting people until March or April. I have talked to and read about many people who get the invite to start from several places and they decide on a different school. So, even near the deadline they are still taking people from the wait-list and extending new acceptances. Does that help? Kinda long winded, lol.

doubledose Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 BTW, how was your interview? Did they hit you with the history of the PA profession question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km46 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yeah, Drexel is my top choice so I am still hoping I have a chance! I was not asked about the history of the PA profession during my interview there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor1011 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 My CASPA was verified the first week of July and I received an email from Janet mid-July asking me to add a pre- req to process my application. I did and she stated that she had updated my CASPA file but have not heard since. Is that good or bad? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuniorTech2 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I received an interview invite this morning for 10/30. To those of you still waiting for invites, keep patient! They acknowledged receipt of my application on 9/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledose Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 In regards to not hearing from them, I would just call. In fact I spoke with Janet two times before I got my invite for interview. My point? don't be afraid to call and see whats going on. You paid the money to be a candidate, don't throw it away by trying not to be overbearing. I also had to update my CASPA with one course that I needed to take, so they actively look at your stuff. Keep it up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktsterry Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 So this may sound silly, but what do you say when you call? Just that you're checking on the status of your app? I'm just desperate to hear any news from any school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledose Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ktsterry, When I called I had specific questions that I wanted to resolve. I couldn't include my SMART transcripts to show I had Med Term through the Navy, so I asked if I could send that stuff via email and asked if it would count? Of course it counted, and the conversation actually shifted to what I did while I was in, that my package looked "competitive", how this years applicants had increased from last years, about how stressful everything is and I recommend a dessert wine to help relax. Overall, Janet is a normal person who wants to do her job better than expected. Do not be afraid of her, she isn't just another suit. She is a person who loves to hear from the students. Let me get to the point, just treat her like a friend and have specific questions in mind when you call. Everything else will work out. If I were you, I would probably call and speak to her. Be prepared to create small talk and my specific reason for calling would be "to make sure you didn't forget about me?" Agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphycol31 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just received a call today that a slot opened up on Monday October 19th for an interview. That is 3 days away. Stay hopeful because you never know what could happen. I was verified around June 1st and this is the only contact I've received since then besides receiving my application Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphycol31 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Do you mind sharing your stats? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's been so long since I've looked but here is a general idea: ~700 volunteer hours (and counting with new cardiology vol position) which include time in the ER (helped design and sculpt new geriatric liaison volunteer position) and MRI at 2 different hospitals as well as ~70 hours of those shadowing from the PA observer program at St. Luke's ~3.9 non-science ~3.7 science 151 verb, 154 quant, 5.0 writing Extensive leadership involvement: president and vice president of multiple clubs/academic fraternity/honor society I also attended a private university that had students do research so I have a couple biology research projects as well .... all I can think of now.
