uwec96 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Just sent my supplemental in tonight. Good luck everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apressley Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So has everyone who submitted the supplemental received an email saying it's under review? How long did it take to get the email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabound2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 For the essay portion, is there a word limit? I noticed that in parenthesis they included "about 250 words" for the 25000 character limit essay. So I'm assuming we have two restrictions to think about? Must be below 2500 characters AND 250 words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnpa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think it's moreso saying 25000 is about 250 words so you have an idea how many words that is around. Also I have been placed in queue to be reviewed, but not that i'm in review yet. I don't think they'll start looking until after the August 15th early deadline.

JMHopefulPA-S Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So has everyone who submitted the supplemental received an email saying it's under review? How long did it take to get the email? I got an email back within 24 hours stating that my application is complete and in queue for review! Says to wait at least 6 weeks to hear back.

kasrose123 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 When filling out the supplemental application I am trying to input my EMT-B certification. I noticed that the only options were EMT-A, EMT-IB, EMT-I, EMT-Defibrillator, EMT-Other, or EMT-Paramedic. Did other EMT-B's put other? I tried looking into what EMT-IB means but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried looking into what EMT-IB means but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance! Yeah I had a problem with that as well, I ended up putting EMT-IB. As long as you list EMT-B under your patient contact hours, it should be fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried looking into what EMT-IB means but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance! I had the same problem! I did this a while ago but I put "EMT other" and then I believe wrote in EMT-B, but I'm sure as WINO said when you put in your hours etc. I'm sure they'll be able to figure it out...

hopefulPA99 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 On the Patient Care Experience page of the supplemental app where it asks for "Explanation" right next to "Frequency", is it asking for an explanation for the frequency or for the experience? I read on an old thread that several applicants entered an explanation for the experience, but I thought it would be redundant since there is a description of responsibilities box right below it. Also, if I am still taking a prerequisite course at a community college, should I just not enter an end date on the College/Universities page? It doesn't let me put a future date for an end date. Thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasrose123 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Does anybody have an answer for the explanation and frequency question? I was wondering the same thing! Even if you're not sure if it's correct what did others put? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazminek_pa Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Does anybody have an answer for the explanation and frequency question? I was wondering the same thing! Even if you're not sure if it's correct what did others put? Yeah, I was confused for that part as well. I described the frequency of the hours for the "Explanation" box. For example, "Varied Hours" I entered "Hours accrued in a month, 3-4 hours per week". I entered the explanation of the experience in the box below where there was more space. I'm not sure if this is the correct way, but I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie3 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 For the supplemental essays did you all try to make them as attention grabbing/entertaining as you did for your personal statement, or did you just tell a story of significance to you?

ccates Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I tried making my supplemental essays engaging, but didn't put as much time into it as I did my personal statement. Maybe think about an engaging life story to tell. Also: CASPA verified: 8/1 Email from admissions that they received my application and supplemental link sent: 8/3 Supplemental submitted: 8/9 Email verifying application is complete and in queue for review: 8/9 For people who have received emails saying their application was sent to the Admissions Committee, was this a separate email from the you application is complete email?
