MrsRonSwanson Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I also e-mailed them and they said the class is full, but they're still putting qualified applicants on a standby list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recabral Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I just had my interview there on Tuesday (10/18) and they said that technically the class is full at 50 students but they also might be expanding the class size to 56 to open more spots with the potential for acceptance of students on the wait list. They also said that a lot of people have responded back and said they will not be coming to Salus and there are open spots already. So, it depends on who accepts their spot and who lets them know they will not be attending so another spot can open up. Dr. Vause (Program Director) said that if he had to guess their is about 25 definite spots right now that are full. It is always changing though. Hope that helps!

gammagirl Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 For those that interviewed already, can you tell us anything about the interview? Did you have to write an essay ? Was the interview one on one ? Thanks Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASalus Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 For those that interviewed already, can you tell us anything about the interview? Did you have to write an essay ? Was the interview one on one ? Thanks Monica Monica, the interview is about 15 minutes and one-on-one (no essay). Very laid back. Just know your basics (why you want to be a PA, etc). They really just want you to be yourself and answer genuinely. They do a very good job of making candidates feel comfortable. Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAinDerm01 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Congrats to everyone who got interviewed, accepted, waitlisted. Regardless of your individual status I still think its a big accomplishment. Its important not to get discouraged as it is said to be harder to gain acceptance into a PA Program then med school. As for the people who did get accepted, is there a online group we can make? Facebook etc., I'd like to congregate and figure out what everyone is doing as far as living situations and loans? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAC Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Still haven't gotten an interview yet. Are my chances shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryyygo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Did anybody make a facebook page yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASalus Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I think facebook is the best way to go. Maybe there is a way we can get an email list from admissions of everyone accepted once all interviewing is done - then it will be easier to tell everyone to join the group.

gammagirl Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 thanks for the info about the interviewing. I have no problem with an interview- its the essays I hate! Unfortunately, this is the only interview offer I received so far so I feel like all my eggs are in one basket so to speak. I didn't finish my CASPA until late July because of rewriting and rewriting my personal statement. In retrospect, I should have been ready to go by early June. Oh well....if its meant to be , then it will happen. I am 45 and if I get in, I will be going back to school while two of my children are also in college. Hopefully, that will mean we will qualify for lots of financial aid. Its scary giving up a comfortable life for the unknown but also exciting. I work in healthcare and absolutely love it. Good Luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin.morrison Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Oh geez. Bummer. I heard that the class of 60 is full but I don't know I that means they sent out all 60 acceptance letters or 60 students have paid and reserved their spots. Hoping for the first one!

aroche63 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It's a class of 50 and it is already full with students who have paid and reserved ther spots. I interviewed the beginning of October and their class was full then so applying early is basically your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
