I haven't heard anything back yet as well.

This is what I know for sure, the PA program is moving into a new space on the main campus of the Health Science Center. I believe it has put a stop to the application process for now, but should resume soon. I will keep you posted! If you hear anything please do the same.

I went to an info session and they said invites won't be sent out until October. Good luck everyone!

Do any of you guys know of people who have been accepted or at least interviewed with a "low" gpa?

[jpagano 10]

No interview invites yet?!!!! :)

It appears that you need to have a GPA of AT LEAST a 3.0. That is the bare minimum

That's for the next cycle. Currently, their minimum is 2.75. But it's best to go beyond the 3.0 to have a better shot.

Good call! Obviously the higher the better one's chances are :)

I applied this cycle, too. Not from the area either, I'm from Houston so it's still pretty close to home. Where else did you apply? Where ya from?

Wow, I am starting to wonder what's taking so long with sending out invites? I can imagine I am not the only one. Hope we hear something soon:-)

[aggie2011 10]

I don't think they will be sending out interview invites until maybe the second week of Nov.

Are you a current student or is this what they told you?

[aggie2011 10]

No, I am not a current student. I am an applicant for this cycle. I cannot remember where I read this but I thought it was accurate. However, I have been reading the forum for previous cycles and they started receiving invites back in sep/oct so now I am not sure.

Got it. I emailed the admissions over a week ago and they haven't even responded...

[chachpa2011 10]

I have a friend that is a current student and he said he would let me know when they have been sent out.
