I am a re-applicant and I remember that exact feeling of constantly checking the forum as people posted their interview invites while I waited to hear back, ultimately being rejected. Even if you don't get it this year, just keep pushing forward and working towards your goal. Eventually the hard work will pay off and you will look back and be thankful for how much you've grown during your journey. What did do to strengthen your application?

They told me that I didn't make the cut for PCE hours compared to the rest of the candidate pool. So I continued to work time as an ED Technician and my hours increased from 2000 to 5000 hours. I also completed a paramedic degree and earned a 3.94 post-bacc GPA which consisted of 56 credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read through the Admissions Guidelines many times so I'm glad to help! I increased my community service hours but not as much as I wanted due to working full-time and being a full-time student (last semester I took 19 credits). I just continued to help with community outreach at my fire station when I had free time. I already had a lot of volunteering hours under my belt from college so I think my consistency over the years helped to show it's something I truly love, not just a check-off for admission.

jaime Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I’m a reapplicant as well... had scribed in the ED, but needed more HC experience. Looking forward to interviewing on 7/13 at 12:45 (and hopefully meeting some of you guys)! Thinking of those of you who are still waiting... I remember that feeling well... not easy. Wishing you all the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurePAeryka Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 It gives the info in the Admissions Guidelines. I emailed admissions later in the fall (when its not as busy) like they advised. Just curious how many community service hours did you have the first time you applied? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurePAeryka Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 For those lucky ones who were extended an interview today... congrats!!! Would you guys mind sharing your stats?? And let’s remain optimistic those that are stilling waiting that that invite!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 9 minutes ago, futurePA01 said: Jaime, That's currently my dilemma as well. I only have scribe hours and it seems EVMS counts scribe hours as healthcare experience and not patient care experience. I'm looking to apply to this program next cycle. What did you do to get more patient care experience? I became a CNA, and have been doing that for more than a year now. Without a doubt, it’s a challenge if this is a career change and your past was not medical in nature. It’s been a long road for me, but I’ve known since my girls were young that this is the direction I wanted to head, so I’ve persevered. Best of luck!

Sensa23 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Also received an invite to interview this afternoon. I'm already matriculating into a different program come August, so hopefully this opens up an interview spot for one of you! Good luck everyone!

Laridae88 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Does anyone have a feel for what the "waves" indicate? Is it simply a logistical approach where they send them in batches, or does being in the first wave indicate you are a stronger candidate? I'm assuming the latter, but my optimist husband suggested it may be alphabetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine strongest applicants first and seeing who is left in the applicant pool after the cycle closed in March. But an interview is an interview so I’ll be happy if I get one! Good luck!!

FuturePA9987 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I thought it meant strongest candidates first also but was told otherwise but a PA that went to EVMS. The PA said it doesn’t matter if you’re in the 1st or 3rd wave... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience with other schools, there seems to be a strategy to how they schedule one-on-one interviews with candidates. For instance, I was chosen to be the first female interviewed on all of my interview days so I knew it couldn’t just be a coincidence. I don’t think EVMS would go to the extent of strategizing the interview invites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharlo1 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Does anyone know when to expect the following two waves of invitations to go out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA9987 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think Thursday is the next one because it has to be 72 hours from yesterday...after that maybe Tuesday?? This is all just a guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrittLundy Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Who will be interviewing on Monday July 16th?!?! I am doing the afternoon session. If anyone else will be at this session we should meet up before hand. It would be nice to see a friendly face at the interview, trust me! <3 Britt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
