jtn6 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Mike, yeah it's me. Thanks man! I was excited and shocked to be hearing back let alone hearing back this quickly! This means you (and everyone else) should be hearing soon too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcw229 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I got an acceptance call today too! I am beyond elated! I cannot wait to start this journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkearney Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just got the call. Then promptly started crying. Wasn't expecting that. Hoping to see an email soon to verify that it wasn't a hallucination. I've been working so hard for the last five years to get to this point (nine years as an EMT, but five since I went back to school). As I'm sure many of us have. This was my third time applying, and first time interviewing. Anybody reading this who is feeling discouraged, just know that you'll get in somewhere eventually. Just keep grinding. Even if you totally messed up with school earlier in your academic career. I probably have the lowest sGPA and cGPA in the history of the program on account of those early failings. But you can make changes, find your passion, and start kicking ass in school. MEDEX absolutely will look at your entire application. Emotions are crazy. Absolutely elated.

JLM28 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Are there any current/past students that wouldn't mind sharing the hours and demands of Spring A&P and summer quarter? Even fall also? I just want to get an idea about what to expect! Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristinnaaa Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Are there any current/past students that wouldn't mind sharing the hours and demands of Spring A&P and summer quarter? Even fall also? I just want to get an idea about what to expect! Thank you in advance! Hi! I'm a 1st year student at this point. Happy to answer your question! So personally I have to hear things like 100 times before I actually understand it. So it takes me a lot longer to study than most people. Spring A&P MEDEX will probably tell you to set aside 20 hours per week for this. I honestly spend 30-40 hours on this class because there was so much information! But I know some of my classmates range from 10 hours - 50 hours per week for this class. But it does take a pretty good chunk of your time. So if you plan to work full-time, don't plan on have much party time. Summer in Seattle This is a pretty intense quarter. You'll spend 9am - 4pm in class. And the rest of the time you'll spend studying. You'll have a exam every Monday that consist of 4-5 topics (ex. cardio, respiratory, GI, GU, Reproductive) that you'll have to know for the exam. But it is still possible to have one weekend day to yourself during this quarter! I personally had time to explore Seattle while I was here and try many of the amazing restaurants! Fall This is a slower ramp up from summer. The first few weeks were pretty slow and I was actually thinking to myself "what is going on?!?!?" but it ramps up after that and you'll end up having 2-3 exams per week. And it will be similar to summer, but longer. I hope I answered your question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrE Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have yet to hear anything back from MEDEX... sounds like they are full at it. Anyone doing Spokane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrE Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 For those accepted, what were your stats? I am curious since they have yet to contact me. My science GPA was 3.82 and my contact hours were 10000+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygaz Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Does anyone have thoughts/opinions on the PANCE scores for MEDEX? The past two years have been good, but I'm a little nervous about the low scores before that. Any insights from previous students would be great.

cmalin Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hello Everyone! I am wondering if anyone has heard from Medex Spokane? I know there was a first round of interviews, but has anyone been notified for the second round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut3 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 @cmalin- last year I heard from Spokane around thanksgiving time for an interview for January. I hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpblack16 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hello all! I was wondering if any students or previous applicants can give a little insight....has anyone heard of someone verified in July and receiving an interview at a later date like Jan? I still haven't heard a thing from MEDEX....at this point I'm considering it a rejection but any insight would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclemens25 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I got the call today!!!! Congrats to everyone who made it, it really is a life changing event. To those who didn't get the call: Don't...Ever...Give..Up. If this is the program you want to be a part of, stay persistent. It took me 3 tries. This program is looking for more than grades and experience. They look at your heart and motivations. Best of wishes to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
