Does anyone know exactly in what form to send coursework that is completed after submitting CASPA? A screenshot of proof? Another transcript? 

Thanks

I sent in a transcript, and one of the schools also asked for an enrollment verification. I could get it online, but usually you can also ask the registrar's office. I think your best bet is to ask the admissions directly.

I received a call from Karen today but I wasn't able to pick up because I had work and there is no service in my building. I'm concerned because I received the e-mail for first review on 7/31. Never received any word for second review. She just left a voice mail saying who she was and to just call her back. Has anyone had something similar happen to them? Judging from people's timelines, it doesn't seem like I should be receiving an interview call anytime soon, especially without a second review.

cGPA: 3.46

sGPA: 3.29

GRE: verbal 153,  quant 157, writing 4

PCE: currently have 700 as a PCA and probably 36 as a medical scribe (just started), estimated to have about ~2500 by matriculation from both jobs

Volunteer: about 500 from various places and organizations

Had 2 executive board positions in two organizations (one being pre-health) and four chair positions-basically tons of leadership every year of college

Shadowing: about 70 with a PA

B.S. in biology from UF age 22

I do agree that I heard back really quickly so I was surprised that I received an interview...

My guess is that you have a great essay and it is backed up by a solid application and stats. GPA isn't everything for UF (not that your's is bad); they really do take it all into consideration. 

As for interviews and acceptances, everyone is on a level playing field. Of course, the interviewers look at your application, essay, and resume, but the sum of the interview process is given a lot of weight. That being said, everyone is very friendly and they don't go out of their way to amp up the pressure, so no need to start worrying now. Just prepare with the same diligence that took you to the interview.

All the best!

I applied around the same time, so I was just curious. Congrats on the interview though and good luck! :) I shadow a PA that got his MPA at UF and he talks very highly of the program!
