LB07 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I am reapplying this year! Good luck! What were your stats from the last cycle? Anything you would have done differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna2013 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 What were your stats from the last cycle? Anything you would have done differently? GPA: 3.7 sGPA:3.6 Hours of experience: 3500 GRE: q 150, v 154, 3.5 I would have applied earlier on in the cycle and scheduled my interview earlier. I already submitted my application and hope to pick one if the first interview slots available. You have a better chance the earlier you apply.

kettle Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Rejected at 1930 tonight. 3.2 GPA 3.3 BCP GPA 3.7 last 60 credits GPA 16,000 hours as a paramedic, mostly serving the underserved on reservations 500+ hours volunteering at a food shelf 500+ hours non paid volunteer firefighter 150 hours shadowing 1000+ hours teaching 3rd & 4th year medical students and sometimes residents ACLS, high Fidelity simulation and the procedural cadaver lab, intubation, sutures and chest tubes. 500+ hours teaching government Dr.s, PA's and NP's emergency airway management 250 hours clinical emergency medicine research (volunteer) Published author on emergency airway management ACLS, Pals, Atls, nrp, ACLS and pals instructor. Gre 300 total and a 3.5 writing. It comes down to GPA, don't let anyone fool you. My references are known very well in education and medicine. My personal statement was over seen by a medical school Dean. With PA school being more competitive than medical school, GPA plays the largest factor. Good luck everyone. I'll be getting a different master's to be more competitive in future applications. This was my second year applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alm4034 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I haven't heard anything either. Last year I was asked to come in to interview at the end of October and the last interview dates I saw were in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllBeYourPASomeday Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I interviewed 10/3 and was accepted on 10/12! For those accepted, how long was it before you received the email confirmation to pay your deposit? Beyond excited to start! Also curious, what is your favorite thing about DMU that lead you to pick this program? As far as timeline goes: at the interview day, you have lunch with current students. One current student interviewed and was accepted late January/early February. So it is a long process -- don't get discouraged! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
