BPAS2020 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Application and secondary submitted. Anyone else applying? I will but not until the end of September. My GRE is not very competitive so I'm waiting to retake the test. I On the website it says that they don't begin interviews until January, however I noticed in previous discussions that they interview earlier than that. Do they have rolling admissions?

dr j Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Last year they began interviews in late October. South does have rolling admissions. From reading prior year posts, it seems they let you know if you are rejected, accepted, or wait-listed the day of interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After lunch, the 3 interviewers bring you in one at a time for a final individual interview and tell you if you're accepted or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Year PA-S Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just submitted my application and supplementary today! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancerkatie Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I am applying again this year. I applied last year and did not get an Interview so I raised my GPA, have more volunteer hours and over 12,000 hours of hands on experience as a Surgical Technologist. I also have very strong letters of recommendation. I never heard anything about having a GRE score above 300. This must be something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancerkatie Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I have spoken to them and they have taken individuals with a lower GRE score. It was said that they look at the application as a whole and not just at GRE scores. But I appreciate your help. I'm going to retake the GRE. I have already submitted my CASPA and secondary application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8404PA Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 good luck! I plan on being a tour guide for the 2017 interviewees so maybe i'll see you here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pander Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Make sure it is above 300, you will not be accepted if it is not. Please do not make statements like this. South College looks at the prospective PA student as a whole and not just a number. While certain criteria are set, not having one measure at or above the bar does not automatically disqualify a candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtorres100 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi all, I was wondering if there is anyone here applying to South who does not have the Basic Cardiac Life Support (BLS). It sounds like it's not really something needed at time of application, as they state on their website that they offer the class during orientation, but I was just wondering if anyone was the same as me...without BLS training yet. I was looking up classes and might actually attend an upcoming one in a month or so, but I want to submit my application now, and I'm not sure how to indicate on the application that I intend on obtaining the training. Any thoughts? Should I just let it go and apply and assume that they assume applicants/though accepted will obtain the training by matriculation? Thanks for any responses!!

8404PA Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah so, probably at least 2/3 of my class didn't have their BLS certification and did the class during orientation. I had mine already and I don't know if that swayed anyone's decision. Our BLS cert has to be maintained throughout the program so they offer it later in case you come already certified and need a recert subsequent. Personally it made me feel better that I already had it but that's just me and the way I am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go ahead and submit without, as based on what you said, they do seem to accept quite a few people who do not have it. Perhaps I can get it prior to interviews (hopefully I get an interview!) and then could update them on that as a boost. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janay Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I submitted my CASPA application last night and just submitted the supplemental. Now I'm just waiting to be verified! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson83 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Im applying to south but not till end of December due to missing some prerequisites. First time applying for PA programs. Anyone know of they still review you if still missing prerequisites at time of application evaluation? I've heard some schools do state that in their site but because so competitive they seem to review those with a "complete "application at time of submission. Good luck to all.

Last year I still had to take some courses, but my application was still reviewed. I believe as long as your CASPA is submitted and they receive your supplemental and GRE scores they'll review it. With any school, if you have already submitted your CASPA you need to send your transcript to each school individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
