MaxPower Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Is anyone applying for the 2016 cycle? The program informed me that a GRE is required for the 2016 cycle. Was GRE a requirement in the past? I hope they update the website soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhopefull76 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I actually will apply this cycle and no the GRE wasn't a requirement before. This is all new, they used to not be on CASPA so thats new also. They still require you to go on the CUNY website and fill out a transfer application also.

Yeah I won't be applying here because of the GRE requirement. I will apply to CUNY-City though. Do you know if we have to go to CUNY-portal and apply from there to the Sophie Davis program? They still need to update the website on applying and if it will be a master or a bachelor's degree in 2016. Thanks and all the best :) EDIT: Nevermind. I just called Cuny-City and they should have an updated website within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA.Med Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Would anyone be willing to post their Stats? Please? Pretty Please? It would help a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-SK Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi PA. Med, I'm a current didactic student at York. My class had a gpa average in the upper 3s. There are a few radiologists, a medic, someone with a Master's degree in Bio Chem and a few straight out of their first run in college with very limited experience. Put the work in, get A's in your sciences, connect with people well wherever you shadow or work and you should have a good chance. Do NOT get obsessed with stats. If you have a few holes in your app, be ready to answer tough questions in the interview. Now that CUNY has gone to CASPA, GPA is your best ticket for getting an interview, so again, work hard!

I applied in mid october/november haven't heard anything back from this program even though their deadline was January 15. Hi akaur08, I haven't received an email confirmation for my application yet, but received about 3 emails inviting me to open houses, so I assume that this means I am on the listserv and that they have my application. If you received those emails, I would say you are probably in the clear, but it definitely couldn't hurt to shoot them an email and ask! Let me know what they say if you do.

akaur08 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 is anyone going to the open house today or tomorrow? If so, can you please ask when application confirmations or interview invites will be sent out? Unfortunately i will be working and wont be able to go.

akaur08 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 how did it go? did they give any details of if they chose any students so far?It was a very different interview experience than what ive experienced from other schools. Went to the PA office, signed in and was directed to a confrence room in the basement. Interviewed for 15-20 mins with 2 faculty then went to a different room to complete a writing portion and that was it. I was the only one there and a girl before me who was finishing up; so they interview 1 student per time slot and im assuming from the sign in sheet - 3 per day. But there was no orientation, no tour of the campus, no talking with other students - it was just different. But no there was no information how many students they accepted or how many seats are available. Good luck on your interview though, seems like a very close nit program; the faculty were really nice!! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and good luck to you too! :)Yes definately generic PA questions, nothing out of the ordinary! They will ask you pop up questions reguarding your resume or application if something catches their eye so be sure you know everything you submitted them. But other than that, generic questions.
