Got my first rejection letter! Unfortunately lol.

 

Anyone have any suggestions as to why?

 

3.50 total gpa.

A's in all my prereqs taken so far

Thousands of HCE hours as a surgical tech

5 LORs from physicians

40 hours of shadowing exp

 

Only thing I can think of is my BA is still in progress and won't be finished till December and I had yet to finish O Chem and Biochem.

I got rejected too :(

 

For you, did you have a letter of rec from a PA? I know some schools will specify that specifically

Stay positive guys! If it was easy, everyone would do it! It's a rewarding and fulfilling career and it will all be worth it!

They mentioned in the information session that they really like to see your O Chem grade so that could be a part of it...

I was verified 6/6 and still haven't heard anything :/

Congrats to those who got an interview invite yesterday!

 No PA LOR, I figured 5 physician letters would do the trick. Also, the did not specifically ask for one from a PA.

 

Ya, my only guess is by not having those other courses completed they put me on the bottom.

I found/researched this school after I sent in my initial batch of CASPA applications which puts me at a downfall for submitting late. But I figured I would post the timeline so far because everyone has been getting quick turnaround time that applied early and it has not been the case for me, as expected from a probably huge influx of apps. So for anyone who applied later perhaps will have an idea.

 

CASPA submitted/verified: June 30th

TUN Supplemental invite/sent: July 11th (I happened to check my email right when it came and turned it in an hour later)

TUN Received/Under Review Email: July 19th.

 

Needless to say its taking a week versus a couple days now. I'm expecting if I do get an interview invite, it will be closer to the 4-6 weeks than the 1 week some people saw on here.

I just got the confirmation email that I will be interviewing on September 20! I'm excited :) In case anyone was wondering, I submitted my supplemental on 6/25 and got the interview invite email on 7/15.

Thank you for sharing and congratulations. Just  to double check is 06/25 when you received the notice that your application was under review or the day you submitted the app? For me these dates are about a week and a half apart. Thanks in advance.

It's been 7 weeks since I submitted my application. Does anyone recommend I reach out to admissions or Michael? I checked the online application system and there wasn't an update. I'm just anxious and curious why I haven't heard anything yet. This is my number 1 choice for school and I feel so helpless!
