Eliment Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I came across this PA virtual fair coming up in April and was just wondering if anyone ever attended one in the past. Any info on what to expect would be great.

Dante311 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I signed up... i would like to talk to recruiters. My GPA from ugrad is low for familial health problems, immaturity, etc... but I've worked SUPER hard to make up for it... Averaging B's while working 55-60 hrs / week clinically... plus volunteering for the salvation army. :) good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cop to pa Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I did the first one two years ago. I was told after I got in by one of the folks on the adcom that I was remembered and they were looking for my app. It's free and, anecdotaly, I highly recommend it.

frenchy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I did it two years ago also. "Chatted" with one of the professors of the school I ended up attending. There was an option to upload a profile ahead of time. Anecdotally I recommend it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliment Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 @frenchy and @cop to pa thank you both so much. That was exactly what I wanted to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-C-to-be Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I participated in one last year and 4 of the programs I was applying to were in the fair. It was really helpful in answering some of my more specific questions I had for the programs. Essentially it's just a chatroom with someone from admissions answering questions. Definitely recommend doing it if you have some questions that remain unanswered that aren't already answered on each program's website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegro Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I found it super helpful last cycle. CASPA has a chatroom too so you can ask generic application questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
