rcb327 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I applied on 9/15 and I haven't received anything from Barry yet...I called and spoke to Michelle Pence I believe, and she told me that she is the only person working on the verification of applications and that she is still reviewing applications from JUNE... being that it's mid September, all i can say is wow... poor lady has a lot of work to be done. has anyone received a rejection letter or email from Barry this year? if last year...was it an email or letter?

Jdabrowski Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think with the hurricanes our stuff might be on hold. They just had to evacuate (I saw on social media PA site so not 100% that his is true) all students and faculty from St. Croix due to the upcoming hurricane.....

Michelle_Minn Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Another 2019 here. Yes, it's true that STX campus had to evacuate yesterday due to hurricane Maria. All 3 campuses have been a bit hectic with two cat 5 hurricanes this month. Know that usually Barry is good about communication. We start classes again tomorrow, so hopefully faculty will contact you soon about your interviews. We're all excited for you to come to the campuses!

St. Pete campus My CASPA was submitted: 6/22/17 Verifed: 6/28/17 I was told that I was missing some pre-reqs about a month ago (which was inaccurate) and I ended up proving I did have them. I guess it was the way my transcript listed courses? I'm not sure if that played into their decision. Butttt fortunately, I'm on the waiting list at South and have 2 more interviews scheduled for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAtoPAC Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Does anyone have any insight as far as what the interview process is like at the St. Pete campus? I have one coming up this week.

ndiehl87 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Spoke to Michelle Spence regarding my application and denial. She was very informative and helpful, but basically told me that my GPA was too low. So I'm guessing that is one of their biggest criteria for interview/admission?

I still think it's holistic considering my GPA is only a 3.26 and I got an interview with the first group this Friday! Also depends a lot on how early you apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine verified for the St. Croix campus June 12th, and I still haven't heard anything. Also, is there anyone else that has a similar timeline to me that hasn't heard anything?

ndiehl87 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 8 minutes ago, PAtobe33 said: Sorry to hear about the denial! What was your GPA if you don’t mind me asking? And was the denial through email or mail? I haven’t heard anything yet so just curious, but GPA is probably too low too. When reading many programs information it sounds like they look at applicants as a whole, but from what I’ve been hearing lately it seems they make a cutoff for interviews for those with sGPA of day 3.5 or higher (what I heard for one program for example). So I’m not really sure what their biggest criteria is, which makes it frustrating but keep your head up! Good luck! I was denied through email. I actually shared my stats earlier in the thread if you want to check them out - 3.3 cum/3.2 sci. I had several poor grades early on in my academic career and they basically implied that I haven't done enough to prove that I'm a good candidate yet (even though I went back to school for a full year in upper level classes and earned a 3.8 while working and volunteering full-time).

abp_520 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It was a tough decision but I have decided not to attend my interview tomorrow, as I have been accepted to my first choice University closer to home.
