abrown9983 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 What part of Washington Paige? I lived in Washington for many years and went through paramedic school in Spokane. And yes, my bachelors degree was still in progress and I got an early acceptance from them. I also know of other students who were still finishing their degree and was admitted, one even finished just prior to the start of the summer semester. So don't let that concern you... And yes, students will be available during the interview process and I plan on making myself available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut3 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 @abrown9983- thank you for your reply! that makes my nerves calm down a little knowing that. I hear such great things about this program and I am really hoping I get an interview. I lived in Mill Creek, WA for 3 years, which is 20 minutes north of Seattle right below Everett. I enjoyed my time up there, but it is very expensive to live there. Currently, I live in Camas, Washington which is east of Vancouver, Washington and right above Portland, Oregon. I have visited Spokane before and it is a very beautiful area and everyone was extremely nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrown9983 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yup, I know Mill creek. I almost worked as a firefighter there. Camas is a cool location as well. Glad I could help calm the nerves a little bit at least. It really is an awesome program, I had many choices in elite schools to attend and after visiting the University of Utah I knew that it was the school I wanted to go to. Best of luck to you in the application process, as well as in your last few semesters of undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut3 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 @abrown9983- what other programs did you get into? why did you decide on the University of Utah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrown9983 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I was lucky enough to get offers from most schools I applied to. I was really deciding between Duke and U of U due to their focus on under served communities, early clinical exposure, length the program has been running, and reputations. I decided on the U due to conversations I had with 1st and 2nd year students as well as the program being on the West coast which is where my family and my fiance's family reside although both programs are beyond excellent. With the University of Utah you really get the support of your whole class, the entire faculty, and senior classmates--I have never felt as supported as I do in this program.

Peanut3 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I currently work in an intercity hospital, but we see a high population of underserved individuals and homelessness and it really has driven me towards going further into working with this population in health care. It is good to hear that the whole class is supportive of one another and not competitive, because in the end we are all going to be PAs and we want everyone to succeed. So our communities can become better in regards to healthcare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anawise Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Abrown9983. Now you making it worse, haha, jk! Thank you for your insight. U of U is already my dream school and now I'm even more in love. I grew up in California, but I lived in Kaysville for 2 years in high school. Utah is beautiful. AAAAAH! The suspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicfourlife Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Only a month and a half left until interview offers go out! I think our class is looking forward to meeting everyone who interviews as much as you all are to interview! The 2nd year students are now in their clinical year so the building is going to be pretty lonely for the next 9 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut3 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yes I am very excited for October to find out! it seems so far away but I know it will come quickly. I applied very late in the game, so I am hoping I still have a chance (crossing my fingers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicfourlife Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes I am very excited for October to find out! it seems so far away but I know it will come quickly. I applied very late in the game, so I am hoping I still have a chance (crossing my fingers). I submitted my application on July 31st last year so don't sweat it. It's not rolling admissions so as long as you get CASPA verified and have your supplemental application done before the next cutoff, you will be fine!

reb123 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I overheard some administration talking about this applicant pool today...tricky to pick "the best" out of an outstanding pool. Everyone here at UPAP is excited to meet you all! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut3 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 thank you for letting us know! that makes me hopeful and nervous at the same time. I am counting down the days to mid October to find out about a potential interview. It seems like such a great program that I would be honor to be a part of.
