jrosa021 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yikes... so everyone will hear your answer ? Do they specifically call your name when asking a question ? Or they expect anyone to just talk when hearing the question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayPA Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thank you for the info!! How many people were there in your interview group and should we stick to the systems they mentioned? Was that enough for the questions on the exam? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi!

LOLAPrePA Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thank you so much for the reply.. I was really sad to see I didn't get an acceptance I had a science GPA of 3.6 Cum GPA of 3.43 Over 1,500 hours of shadowing/patient contact 90% on the entrance exam GRE wasn't great though (146 on quant/150 on verbal/4.5 on writing)... I am assuming thats what did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming thats what did it With PA school we never know what they are looking for! My GRE was close to yours- verbal (145), quant (153), writing (4.5). My CASPA science GPA was a 3.21; however my last 60 credit hours GPA was a lot higher than that, and Chantal did explain that they focus on that! However, I had over 2000 hours of patient care (medical assistant in a private practice and a free clinic), over 100 hours of shadowing, and over 2000 hours of volunteering in various groups/ organizations! I would definitely recommend volunteering in your community as much as possible, I know FIU is huge on that. You are definitely on the right path and your stats are competitive! Remember they had 1500+ applicants for only 45 seats! Did you get LOR from health care professionals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOLAPrePA Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi @ NicoleCL My LORS included a PA, a nurse and my boss (who was previously my Dean of Students in high school) The LOR that came from the PA was, I'm assuming because I never got to read it, insightful to my work performance because I did serve as her medical assistant for the past year. The nurse's letter was also very representative of my work ethnic and knowledge. I worked alongside the nurse as an elderly companion. I am truly sad and shocked because I really felt that I was a strong competitor. Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts/stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOLAPrePA Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Does anyone know if all the seats have been filled? I called and I got two different answers from two different people.. I am wondering if anyone else has any insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMGR Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 What were the two different answers you received? I am unfortunately on the waitlist and am eagerly waiting further information about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMGR Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I received it the same day people received acceptance letters last week. In the email, it included my waitlist number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOLAPrePA Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I didn't get an direct emailed response.. I called and they initially told me that acceptances had already been emailed out.... I initially assumed I was on the waitlist as well but given the fact that I haven't received any direct emails, I am assuming I am rejected or very low on the waitlist @gala9944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that updates on the waitlist can be made anytime from the minute the list is made till mid- April mid April is when deposits are due so the only way to get off the waitlist at that point would be that idk the applicant has a last minute change of heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
