Congratulations!!!!  can you list your stats.... gpa, gre, degree, hours?

 

 

CASPA Cumulative GPA: 4.0

CASPA Science GPA: 3.53*

GRE: Verbal 151, Quantitative 153, Analytical 5.0

Shadowing Hours: Combined 60+ in dermatology, general surgery, primary care, and orthopedics 

DPC: 800+ (and counting) hours as a Physical Therapy Technician

Volunteer Hours: Combined 70+ in different settings, including volunteering at a clinic that serves uninsured citizens in a rural area

 

I am currently in school and will be graduating with my Bachelor's in Cell and Molecular Biology in December. My stats were definitely lower than most applicants, possibly due to the fact that I am still in school and most applicants have already graduated and worked in the field, but it definitely is not impossible!

I was CASPA Verified 8/9 and I received their supplemental within a couple of hours. I submitted the supplemental and paid on 8/11. I can't believe some of y'all already have acceptances, how exciting! Hoping to hear something positive back soon from them, seems like they are very time efficient!

Wisebe - looks like we are in the same pool...mine was submitted on the 8th so if the interview emails go out for the next round we should get them at or close to the same time.  Let us know if you get the email or call.

Just got an interview for Sept 23 (originally offered Sept 9 but I already had another scheduled).  Hoping it goes well!

Hi everyone!

 

For those of you who have had interviews, how many applicants were there?

 

And does anyone know how many they will be accepting into this first cohort?

 

Thanks!

[rbonz2]

If I am not mistaken I believe the first cohort is 20...

[1st Year PA-S]

14 people interviewed at the first interview group, but they told us they have five more interview groups to go. The class size will be 20 students.

I got an e-mail today stating they were unable to offer me an interview. Best of luck to you all!

Is anyone else in the interview group this Friday (8/26) ? :)

[SCTXPA]

For those that have interviewed did you get a tour of the new facility that the PA school will be using?

[Bluemoon]

Has anyone heard any feedback from the August 19th interviews?

[Bluemoon]

Yes. It will be housed within USC SOM but they showed us the area that the PA program will be using (which is still under construction)!

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! I just got invited to an interview on 9/9. Anyone know how many interview days there have been thus far? Any advice or general info about the interview day? Thanks in advance!

[TigerPA2k16]

Honestly, just be yourself! You are already more than qualified for the school, that's why you got an interview. best of luck!

I interviewed Aug. 5 and was accepted shortly thereafter. The interview was great, and the faculty and staff make you feel very comfortable the whole time. It's clear they put a lot of effort into making this a successful program. I'll be attending this January, so hopefully there will be a FB group soon!

Congratulations to everyone that was accepted! 

 

I was told that I was placed on the alternate list and was wondering if anyone else was as well?
