emmaturnquist Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm on the 27th too, afternoon session! Kasam, I don't know what stats you specifically want, but: 22 years old, B.A. Biology, Society, and the Environment from the University of Minnesota; GPA 3.924; did research in a metagenomics lab; have worked 2+ years as a direct care staff in a group home for vulnerable adults. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICRob0351 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 They are very quick, I submitted my supplemental app. two days ago and already got the interview invite. 150 interviews, for 40 seats, out of 1800 total applicants. I guess we're lucky to even get an interview. I had no idea how competitive it was. Good luck guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oburdick Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi everyone, I have a question regarding how you filled out the prerequisite courses. Did you only write the semester and year completed or did you also write in the course name/number? Also, I am a little concerned about AP classes. I called the program and they didn't give me a clear answer about whether or not they will accept my AP classes as a social behavioral science prereq. I have a class in human development (adulthood and aging, 3 credits) and a 200-level psych (psychopharmacology, 3 credits), and I also took AP psych (6 credits) and AP U.S. history (3 credits). I imagine that they would accept the psychology AP credits since I continued on with upper-level psych courses and obviously intro psych was a prerequisite for this class. Did anyone else have the same problem? Any advice? Thank you and sorry for the long post!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICRob0351 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I put semester/year and the associated courses just to be on the safe side. As far as the social science pre-reqs, anything like psych, sociology, certain human development courses, and social anthropology type courses are all acceptable. Good Luck.

DDIAZ028 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Sent my supplemental application today! :smile: I never took an English class in college because my AP credits sufficed for both ENC 1101 & ENC 1102 (the two college level English courses required by my university). My university put both course on my transcripts as TR (transfer credits) so I put it down for the English pre-requisite requirement. I dont see why they wouldn't accept such courses so long as the university recognizes them and includes them in your transcript. Hope this helps!

oburdick Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thank you for your advice! Ill put the course number as well and hopefully they won't have an issue with the AP psych because it's obviously a prerequisite for taking a 200 level psych course. Thanks again!

DDIAZ028 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Did you pay your fee? You should have received an immediate e-mail confirmation of your payment with a link to the supplemental application. If you are sure you paid and still haven't received anything I would give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDIAZ028 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I know, they are fast! I sent mine in Friday night and got the invite today. I am wondering if they did some kind of pre-screening with our CASPA applications, or if they are just that fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoVaz Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Supp App submitted! In regards to the electronic signature, did all of yours actually show up on the document? I mean, is it visible? I have an icon on the bottom left corner of the document that looks like an orange ribbon so I know it was signed but I'm concerned that they will overlook it since my ACTUAL signature is not there. I've never electronically signed anything important before. I mentioned it in the email with the app attached so hopefully they see it. Anyone else experience this?

DDIAZ028 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I just went back to check mine, and yes I see my full name there for the electronic signature. Not sure why yours doesnt show up but since you mentioned it in the e-mail I am sure they will get back to you if they need anything else. They seem to respond and go through things pretty quickly, so I wouldn't worry too much! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDIAZ028 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 In that section I put an art history course I took, as well as a psychology of women course... they mentioned anything related to art, music, women's studies, philosophy etc, just not any actual studio courses like a painting or drawing class.
