Sounds like it's better than being waitlisted, if there's any upside to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeaokbro Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Interviewed 11/15. I looked at the previous year’s forum, they said a decent amount of students were taken off of the standby list. It also said that the standby list is different from the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGatti Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi all! My interview is this Wednesday (11/29) - I'm wondering if anyone has brought a guest? They gave the option to bring a guest, and I'm wondering what the day would entail for the guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmh26 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I brought my mom. The guests are able to listen to the first information session, go on the tour and have lunch with you and the rest of the group. They’d have to just sit around during your interview and talk with admissions but those don’t take too long!

There have been quite a few interview dates and nobody has posted anything. I also haven't heard anything. I heard back within a week or two but declined due to acceptance at another school.

Lilyofthevalley16 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I got an email today in regards to the standby list. It just gave more information about what it was and how it would proceed for people in the standby list. It said that as of today, they have interviewed 250+ students, and 30 people are on the standby list. Class size is 50. The standby list is unranked.

halimehatun Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi, Can someone explain if they have more info about the standby list? What does it mean exactly and are we required to enroll if we are extended an offer into the program after being placed on standby? What if I receive an offer for another PA program and choose not to enroll at Salus then? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if I receive an offer for another PA program and choose not to enroll at Salus then? I received an email a few weeks ago with this information. Hope it helps: Greetings from Salus University! We are contacting you with information regarding the “Standby List” for our PA program. We know the wait is difficult so we hope that this email answers some lingering questions: Including you, we interviewed over 250 very strong candidates for 50 seats. As of today, there are 30 students who have been placed on ‘Standby’. We are very careful to place on the list, only those students that the Committee found to be “acceptable,” meaning your interview was successful and you have competitive credentials; we just don't have an opening right now. We continue to monitor our deposited student count on a daily basis. If at any time between now and the start of orientation we drop below our goal of 50 deposits, we will select students from the ‘standby’ list. This process will continue until the start of Orientation in August. We are anticipating concluding interviews in January so the number of standby students could increase or even decrease on a weekly basis. The PA Admissions Committee meets once per week. You may not hear from us right away but keep in mind that your file is active until either we select you or, you decide to withdraw from consideration. There is no official ranking-all files are reviewed carefully by the Committee each time there is a seat open so rest assured, it is a fair and very thorough process. Over the last 3 years, Salus has on average, selected 20 students per year from the standby list. Last year, a total of 17 students were selected from standby for full admission. Please continue to update us with patient care experience, grades, letters of recommendation and shadowing experiences. Most deposited students withdraw between February 1st and April 1st when the 2nddeposit is due so this is the time we see the most students selected from standby. We are confident there will be more students selected, we just don’t know how many and when. If you would like to be removed from further consideration, please contact us via email at this address. Any additional questions should be directed to us at the admissions office. Our email address is: admissions@salus.edu Best of luck the rest of the way!

hhartpa Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hello everyone! I really don't know what to do so if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated! I was placed on standby for Salus University on 12/7/17 because their class was already full. I was accepted to another school a few days later. The other school (Slippery Rock) was a backup option and is not where I truly want to go. I am also waiting to hear back from a few other schools because I applied rather late (early November). Normally, I would accept my seat at Slippery Rock to ensure I will be attending PA school regardless. However, I must make a NONREFUNDABLE $500 deposit to guarantee my seat. I think I am a strong candidate and was told at my interview with Salus that I would not have a difficult time getting in somewhere next cycle if I would just apply sooner. Do I accept my seat and lose $500 if I am offered a seat elsewhere? Do I call Slippery Rock and see if I can have an extension without paying? Do I call Salus and see what my odds are for removal from the standby list and acceptance into the program? Do I wait until next cycle even though I am itching to start as soon as I can? If anyone can offer some guidance or has had a similar experience I would love to hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwmwPA Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I’m also waitlisted at Salus and two other schools, accepted at another. I sent my $500 to the school that accepted me. My advice to the poster above is to send in your $500 because that’s just how it works. People double and triple deposit at schools because it’s just an unfortunate circumstance of waitlists and the fact that schools don’t all notify at the same time. I highly doubt Slippery Rock will grant you an extension on the deposit. Just be grateful you have a sure thing and realize that $500 is nothing compared to the $80,000 you’re gonna drop on tuition. Plus many schools have a much higher deposit. And remember the ultimate goal is to become at PA-C, not attend a certain school. Any accredited school will get you there.

hhartpa Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yeah, I've been having the same thoughts. I'm sure I will end up securing my spot regardless - beggars can't be choosers. I just hate the deposit because it is a ploy to get candidates to stay that might not normally so they can maintain their class size. Not to mention some of my other schools won't make decisions until mid-January and February. I appreciate your response, though. The goal of PA-C at the end of my name is why I am highly against waiting another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sades Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Does anyone who was accepted know how long after being accepted we have to put down a deposit?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I no longer have my letter or else I would check for you. I was worried about that too, but I would of had plenty of time to pay the deposit when I received the letter in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
