Elliemay Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hi all, Less than two months before the CASPA opens! Any input on what to do in preparation for the application cycle during these couple of months? I want to be as prepared as possible and I feel like I'm twiddling my thumbs before the CASPA opens. Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggySRNA Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Get everything ready and lined up so once the cycle opens you can submit everything within a day. LOR HCE Hours Shadowing hours MONEY a list of schools you're interested in Test scores; GRE, MCAT*, TOEFL, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious_Ignoramus Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Required LORs + 1 in case one writer decides to flake out. Also, start writing your narrative now and don't stop editing/revising until you are done with the application. Start saving cash for gas/tickets.

poshy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I basically made an excel spreadsheet with every program/s information such as deadlines, LOR requirements, GPA/GRE requirements, start date, supplementals, separate HCE forms, cost, etc. Add or take away things to the list as you prefer. Get your LORs in order, make sure you check every program's website to determine their exact requirements. Some programs will want two letters from a PA/MD and others might not, and so on. You don't want to be caught off guard at the last minute. Keep in touch with the people that are writing your LOR and update them with anything that might be significant to the letter they'll be writing for you. Some schools will NOT notify you to finish their supplementals once you submit your CASPA. They will expect you to do so without notifying you if they already have the supplemental listed on their website. SAVE MONEY! You will be driving/flying back and forth and it adds up pretty quick once interview season starts. Good luck! apthepa.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
