raran001 Posted July 13, 2011 Hi Everyone, I just thought I would start this thread as a place for those of us applying this cycle for the class of 2014 to meet each other. Best wishes to everyone and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
brittanynwillis Posted July 25, 2011 Hi, I'm working on applying to St. Francis - NM for the Class of 2014. I'm putting together the final touches to my application, and hope to submit this week. How was the process for you? Britt

eterri1 Posted July 26, 2011 Good luck to both of you! I'm a current student of the class of 2013, so if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

raran001 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Glad to know I'm not alone! The application process felt like it took forever, but I submitted it just before the fourth of July and it was mailed last week. The most challenging portion was the personal statement although entering all my classes took forever!I'm not sure when or how frequently they do interviews, but I did recieve an email just after they recieved my GRE scores, so I'm hoping they will also notify me when they recieve the application.

brittanynwillis Posted July 28, 2011 That's great, my goal was to submit by early July, but I had to chase down one of my LOR, so, it delayed me slightly. I officially E-submitted yesterday (7/27), and hopefully CASPA doesn't take too long to verify my application. I've talked with Tony Romero over the last couple months, and he told me that they interview once a month starting at the end of August. They're based on a rolling enrollment, however, this year they're trying something new and evaluating sets of 3 interview sessions, instead of just one. He's pretty on top of everything over there, so, I'm sure he'll send you an email once they receive your application. :) Good Luck!

IdahoPA Posted August 1, 2011 I have an interview Aug 29th and was wondering if anyone else did. Good luck completing your apps!

IdahoPA Posted August 5, 2011 No, I'm from Idaho. I'll be flying in on Sunday. Congrats on your interview!! :)
raran001 Posted August 6, 2011 Author I got an interview for Sep 12. Is there anyone else going that day? Does anyone know if they are still doing same day notifications?
PAruby Posted August 9, 2011 My understanding is they aren't doing same day notifications, but are waiting through a few interview sessions at a time to choose the best applicants... But I'm not 100% sure. @ L.A. lewis, thanks you too! look forward to meeting you!
raran001 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Oh okay, the suspense is going to kill me! Good luck to both Ali and LAlewis hope your interviews go well!
lanjones Posted August 17, 2011 I have an interview on the 12th of September also. I am not really sure about the notification system. I hope everyone else great success in the application and interview process.
holycow Posted August 19, 2011 good luck everyone! I haven't heard back about an interview yet though I just applied earlier this month so I guess I have to just wait it out and see!
raran001 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Hi lanjones, Are you from NM or are you flying in? Hopefully we will run into each other on interview day, it will be great to know more people that might be attending! Good luck!
mk612165 Posted August 22, 2011 Good luck to both of you! I'm a current student of the class of 2013, so if you have any questions feel free to ask me. Hi eterri1, I was wondering if you could share the stats on your students & what the admission board tends to focus on, thank you!
eterri1 Posted August 23, 2011 I can't answer anything that you might be looking for about the stats on our students because we're not given any of that information. We are in the age range of 20-50's, from all over the country with varied backgrounds and healthcare experiences. I don't know any specifics on what the ADCOM focuses on either. I'm sure like any other school it has to do with core GPA, science GPA, classes taken, healthcare experience, an impressive personal statement & being confident in the interview. Good luck!
lanjones Posted August 24, 2011 @raran001 - I will be flying in for the interview on Sunday the 11th. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! Best of luck to all of you!
Sadie Thomas Posted August 25, 2011 Hi, I got an interview for Sept 26th. Anyone else attending then? Any specific information or tips to share about USF's interview process? Thanks! ST
PAruby Posted August 29, 2011 For anyone interviewing: The interview process was really positive! They take 12 interviewees per session, so you'll definitely meet others interviewing the same day. The staff seems really supportive, fun, and encouraging, and students were the same. Everyone gave honest answers to any question you had, and seemed to try very hard not to make the interview sessions stressful. There are group interviews and then two individual interviews. You get a little tour and also get to meet current students and ask them questions. I hope everyone has as positive an experience as I did, and good luck everyone!
