did anyone submit around 8/20? Hoping if they do in fact do rolling admissions that I wasn't too late, NAU is my first choice!

I submitted 8/16. No news yet, as I am sure they review applications in the order they are received, like most schools. This does not mean they are a rolling admissions, but it is always best to apply earlier.

 

I called admissions today and they said they have just started reviewing applications. And what I said above is my assumption, not their policy.

 

Good luck to you, and everyone else too!

Hey everyone! I've been crazy busy but I was accepted today! The interview Yesterday was great, the faculty are awesome people. The interviews are very laid back and easy to get through! I would say know why you want to be a PA and why you chose their program. Smile and give sincere answers!! I've heard they change questions each interview so I would study common questions on Google. Good luck everyone!! :)

Hi all!

I'm new to applying. This is my first cycle.  I wanted to bring forward my stats and would like to hear some feedback as far as where I would stand.

Letters of Reccomendation: 1 from Neurology PA (I work with her on my hospital unit), 1 from a Derm/GI PA (I volunteered at her clinic in Chicago), 1 from my unit manager, and 1 from a professor (professor for my biochem/pathology courses, conducts breast cancer research at OU).

GRE: I had a low GRE the first time I took it.... but I am retaking it in the next few months. I submitted my first poor score. That probably killed my chances. 

 

I submitted 07/30, verified 08.04, sup app was sent 07/17. 

 

Any recommendations for me? I am currently taking a few courses just to keep up with my studies. I currently work at the hospital, volunteer, and am prepping for a mission trip in December. 

 

I haven't heard anything at all... Should I give up hope at this point?

Please feel free to give me any tough love!

Don't give up hope!! You look like a very well rounded candidate. I had a low GRE 40%-50% and a few C's in OC, Gen Chem and Stats. I also had 1300 clinical hours. They seem to really care about the the individual and their experiences; rather than numbers. From what I heard at my interview they had 2 dates in September so there's still October, November and possibly December that they have to invite for. I did apply in May, and submitted my supplemental early June. But in the early interview we did have a guy that submitted in August! And they're interviewing about 125 so there's still time. Good luck!!
