emiller438 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just called Jami. She said that all the calls have been made and that those who didn't get a call would be sent a letter in a couple of days letting them know if they were waitlisted or rejected.

PFOSTER Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Don't be discouraged, there were a lot of out of state interviewees and therefore the likelihood of them accepting a spot would be lower. Therefore I think we can expect them to take more from the waitlist Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And021513 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yep, the first year student I spoke with in my interview group was originally wait listed and then called a couple days later. Is anyone applying at Oklahoma City University? I originally signed up for that advisement session on Feb 1st. A friend of mine went to an advisement session last year and she said the program sounded REALLY great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hishaq1 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So, for those of you that were accepted, any advice? How many hce hours did you have? How many hours shadowing PA's? What do you think set you apart? Thanks!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine went to an advisement session last year and she said the program sounded REALLY great. I'm also signed up for the OCU session on feb 1st. The director there is the old director at OU, who took a majority of the staff/teachers with him. I've also heard good things.

callienicole Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Congratulations to everyone that was accepted and good luck to those waiting to hear on the wait list. Don't give up! For those accepted, are we getting information on paying the deposit in the packet they are mailing to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTK3 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just got the email with the link to the Decision Letter, I have been Waitlisted. Congrats to those that got in and I will remain positive as I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr12246 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Is there any way for those of us on the waitlist to figure out what our rank is? I know there's no guarantee, but I'd really like to get a better idea of my odds of getting in still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyL Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Also placed on alternate list. At my interview he said they'd be placing 40 on the list, but they wouldn't be ranked. It will be case by case basis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFOSTER Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 They said that only about 1 or 2 people knew the rankings and that they would not be disclosed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUOKC PA-S Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 So, for those of you that were accepted, any advice? How many hce hours did you have? How many hours shadowing PA's? What do you think set you apart? Thanks!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was a reapplicant this year. My advice would be to attend the reapplicant advisement session and stay after to talk one on one with a faculty member. Bring a copy of your personal statement, resume and transcript. Also they have a group advisement session and you can shadow a student (one of my interview questions was 'what did you learn from the lecture' so write it down). Go even if you already know all of the info about the program. They keep track of who attends. You can find the info for advisement on their website. I personally had a ton of shadowing hours in different specialties (~150 hrs) and volunteer work, among other things. At the advisement sessions, ask the person you talk to if they have anyone in mind that you could shadow. A lot of the non-faculty interviewers allow you to shadow them at their practice. Bridget Keast was one of my favorite shadowing opportunities. In the end, you know how competitive this program is. Do anything you can to make yourself stand out. Write a new personal statement, telling them what you have done to better yourself as an applicant. Don't give up, and apply again next year!! Hope this helped.

KatyL Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 And will those who are accepted let us know when your deposits are due? I feel like if people are going to decline, they'd do it before paying a deposit! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTK3 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Good thought KayL! and thanks betlbea for sharing that info. We'll see what happens. Unfortunately, I know some applicants (not at OU) that even paid multiple deposits since they hadn't decided which program they want to attend yet... So stay positive even beyond this due date time frame because we can still get that call! You guys know how much the deposit is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
