soraya1217 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I believe that they let you know in Feb, once they have interviewd everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 This waiting period is killing me. I just want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinara Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah me too I just want to know...armymom- have you tried emailing April? She was the one that sent out the confirmation email once she's received your app through CASPA. My friend didn't hear anything either and I told her to email April and two days later she got an interview! Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armymommax2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I did receive a conformation from April my app was in place, but I really didn't want to be a pain in the rump by emailing her and asking if I had an interview. I felt this would be too pushy. I have interviewed with another program (first choice) and made it to the final cut. I should be hearing if I'm in or out withing the next few days. (fingers crossed) I live in rural Arkansas, so no matter where I apply, I will have to move. My stats are strong, and 20 years of direct HCE. I will also pay out of state tuition which in this day and age should look a little more positive. (from a schools economic stand point) I have been up front of my intentions of coming back to my home state and practicing. AR ranks almost dead last in PA-C's practicing. Honestly, I am just ready to hear something. As is every other applicant nation wide who is still waiting.....Best of luck to you, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.....or Merry Christmas as we say around these parts...;) L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I was the only out of state student at my interview. I think they really want people that are willing to relocate to California and stay in California. For me and what I want to do as a PA, California has a lot more opportunity and I would love to settle down there. Hopefully you'll get into your first choice though!

Tinara Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 armymom - you can just ask April if they are still sending out interview invites and let her know that you are very interested in the school. She did say they are going to interview 106 people and pick out 30ish. I don't know if all invitations have gone out yet. I'm sure you'll get in your first choice though with 20 years of experience! Good luck to you and everyone else! Happy holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I got a phone call today from April that I have been accepted! Did anyone else? I can't wait to get to know my future classmates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlrogers2 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have an interview on Tuesday (the 20th) i am SOO nervous, but excited. any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seijou Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I got a phone call today from April that I have been accepted! Did anyone else? I can't wait to get to know my future classmates! Hi, could you please share your stats (GPA, sGPA, undergrad major, any graduate degree/GPA, HCE?, volunteer/shadow)? I'm very interested, and it would give me an idea of competitiveness! If anyone else also wouldn't mind sharing stats... it's much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinanguyen Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Congratulations Katethegreat! Can I ask when you interviewed with the school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 christinanguyen- I interview in Novemeber. Did you interview there? I am dying to know who my classmates will be. Seijou- My stats are 3.5 overall GPA, 3.25 Science GPA (With a 4.0 Science GPA post-bac), BA in Sociology, 2000 paid HCE, About 8,000 volunteer hours, 2 years in biomolecular research, 30 hours of physician shadowing, 0 hours PA shadowing but lots of time spent with PA's on my unit at work and speaking with different PA's. Did I cover everything? I think they really are looking for people committed to Primary Care for underserved populations, but I'm sure if you have a strong GPA and HCE you would be a competitive applicant.

Seijou Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for the reply katethegrate =) Your application is very competitive! Much more competitive than mine! :;-D: Could you possibly share anything about the interview / visit to campus, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The interview was interesting, it was the first year they did an MMI format. I had prepared for more of a discussion type interview so I was a little taken back, but it was fun and definitely a new experience for me. The campus is really nice. The education building is new and very nice. I have worked at two different teaching hospitals (at the University of Utah, and OHSU) and it kind of had that same vibe. I really like that UC Davis has a medical school, research, and public health programs. I think there are a lot of opportunities to collaborate and learn new things. I really enjoyed hearing from the faculty. They all seemed to have interesting backgrounds and I definitely felt like I could picture myself there. You should do a campus visit to get a feel. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeL Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I just got accepted today! I am really excited as the faculty seemed very enthusiastic, encouraging, and friendly. Plus the UC Davis health system has so many resources! Congrats to you Kate and I look forward to meeting you this year! My stats are: Overall GPA- 3.5 Science GPA- 3.3 (4.0 post-bac) B.S. in Biological Science (Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior) 2700 hours paid HCE in physical therapy 2000+ hours community service 1 year genetic research 250 hours PA/NP shadowing EMT-B and CNA certified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeL Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I know they said there was another interview date the day after ours (for Dec. 22), but I'm not sure if there are more dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soraya1217 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 anyone who interviewed Dec. 21st heard back yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mausilio Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Mike (above) interview the 21st. I've only heard of the two on here plus one getting accepted. Since the two on here have pretty awesome stats maybe they are letting in some at a time? Anyone hear of other applicants getting in/wait listed/rejected? I interviewed the 19th and nothing yet.

Good luck! It seems like Davis is a bit slow about getting back to people (at least according to some other members and reports of the previous years). Don't let it discourage you! Could you please share your stats? I would be very interested to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mausilio Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 You should probably pay more attention to this if I get accepted! So I only qualify for a handful of schools and have received interviews at Davis and Touro so far; I'm wait listed at Touro. Bach degree in Business Admin 3.5 CASPA GPA and science GPA 3.3 I've worked in operations and marketing for healthcare companies before making the leap to the clinical side. Took major science pre-reqs plus others Worked as an EMT on an ALS unit for two years Certified Phlebotomist Certified Hemodialysis Technician, working full time since March 2011 Total paid HCE hrs at time of application: 3,814 Red Cross Volunteer, about 20 hrs volunteer time not including classes taken Other volunteer about 100 hrs No documented shadowing but spent a lot of time around all medical professionals It's all competitive enough to score interviews but we'll see if it gets me in anywhere! I'm just going to keep building on it until that happens :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eonbluemantra Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The best part of PA school is getting your acceptance call/letter and the time leading up to the first day. After the first day...well...you will see :=D: Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
