lelabg Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 When did you apply and when did you receive your invitation for an interview? Also, did you have all of your prerequisites done or do you have any prerequisites in progress? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenyabill Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was accepted last week. I'm still unsure though whether to commit. Starting in January is awfully close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapowski Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I sent my supplemental in August and interviewed in September. It's the first school I was accepted to haven't heard back from the majority of my schools I applied to. I had all the pre-reqs done before then.

frankL87 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I was accepted last week. I'm still unsure though whether to commit. Starting in January is awfully close! If you're starting in January then its not bayshore, its winthrop extension. Bayshore starts every August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m57a Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I was accepted into Bayshore for Fall 2012! Anyone else?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankL87 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Just got my letter this afternoon that I'm accepted for 2012!!! When I get some energy I'll start a Facebook group for us ( a lot of other classes did it and said its good to get to know people and that maybe you can find someone to split housing with etc.) I have to mail my deposit and then ask them how soon I need the medical forms handed in because my primary goes away for the holidays!! i'm very excited. Anyone else who is accepted inbox me and we'll stay in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlyGirl Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh thats great! Congrats! what happened with the winthrop interview?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankL87 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 When I got there, they said that between the time that they offered me the interview and the day of my actual interview, all of the spots were filled by people who were already interviewed (if you followed that confusing statement lol). They also asked me my preference of campus/start date so I said bayshore august. Two weeks later I got a letter accepting me! The interviewers were very nice by the way, really relaxed environment unlike my other interview at a different school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vera12 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I mailed in my supplement in Nov and still haven't heard from the school, I will call in to check (I wanted to have enough time for the staffs to process my materials), but is that normal?

vera12 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Congrats! When they said all the spots were filled, did they refer to the winthrop campus or the bayshore, since the bayshore deadline is in March of 2012. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaitling Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I tried calling and left a few voicemails about when the medical forms need to be handed in, and no one has gotten back to me. I'm assuming we have some time since we don't start right away, and they cashed my deposit without them. If you find out can you let me know?

caligirl Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Congrats for those who are accepted. I have an interview coming up. Would anyone please give me some insight into the interview? I would really appreciate anything that you can tell me. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankL87 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Vera 12- I was referring to Winthrop being filled. I was accepted into Bayshore, which I have to say, I prefer. CaliGirl- As for the person who asked about the interview, just be yourself, don't act nervous. they want to know a bit about what drives you, how you arrived at this decision, and some basic morals etc. Good luck. Kaitling- I had the same question about forms and spoke with the admissions office recently. They told me that the most important is the deposit. Official transcripts should be sent in very soon, and you can hold off on the medical forms and Bio page until late spring early summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapowski Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think we should start a FB group in late spring since most people are still waiting on other schools as well I'm assuming? It looks like Touro is the best fit for me and I already sent my deposit in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankL87 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I always like to help people out because I know how stressful it was through the application process. I was accepted into Bayshore to start this August. Caspa calculated my Cumulative GPA to be a 3.2 I believe with my science a 3.3. I took 2 years off after I graduated undergrad because I was a psych major and didn't have the necessary prereqs, also, my gpa was a 3.0 when i finished my bachelors. I went to a post-bacc program and finished AP I & II, Gen Chem I & II, Organic I & II, Microbiology, and Physics I & II in 18 months with a 3.7 gpa while at the same time gaining my EMT-B certification. I worked 4 summers as an in-patient physical therapy aide and wound care aide, 1 summer as a rehab tech at a nursing home, and my psych capstone project was mentoring underprivileged youth. During the post-bacc program I worked doing billing and clerical work in a doctors office. I also shadowed PA's and MD's during that time. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask "should I apply now?" If your referring to Fall 2012 start date I would say its pretty late and most deadlines have passed, however, you may find some schools with January Start dates. I think CASPA opens in April or May for the following year meaning 2013 start dates. That leaves you a few months to at least volunteer or shadow. I would also recommend buying the book"getting into the PA school of your choice", thats not the exact title but the interview prep was especially helpful. Good luck, if you want to inbox me I'd be glad to share anything else that I know as long as its not too specific about the interview or something like that ( I don't think that would be fair and would def be frowned upon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
