Physician Assistant Program Class of 2020

[sinthia0079]

This is a new forum created by a student of the new Sophie Davis PA Program class of 2020. I created this because I did not seem to find any pages or threads pertaining to this new class. If you are in this new upcoming class please comment in any subject as far as rooming, COL, tuition, etc.

I wish this school didn't start so late in the year. But it seems like a good program, and it's in a nice part of New York. 

[Mawrter]

I'm interested in this program!

Does anyone know if community college classes are accepted here?

Also as long as the prereqs are part of the major curriculum and premed track , it's ok right?

Thanks!

[LeQuack]

Yep, they are allowed last I checked. 

[Mawrter]

OK thanks!

Nope, I haven't heard anything yet. When did you submit your application?

I haven't heard anything yet! And I submitted on july 5th.

You guys won't be hearing anything back anytime soon. The deadline for applications is January 15th, 2018 and they don't look at them before that date.

I'm in the program now and most of us heard nothing until April, so don't let the silence get you down.

[hope123]

would you mind sharing your stats like science GPA , volunteer work, as well as patient contact hours. What do you recommend we do, while waiting to hear back? get  more hours? take more science courses? Thanks!!! 

[SKH116]

@JoJoWondermonkey is the PA club back in session, and should I just stopby on Thursday between 12:30 and 1:30 or do I need to sign up somewhere? Would really appreciate your help with this. TIA for taking the time out from your busy schedule!

Do we not hear from the program about interviews until April or is that for seats??

[snowangelz8D]

@SKH116 yes club is back in session. We will be meeting Thursdays from 12:30pm - 1:30pm until Mid April. 

@Ak2011 it all depends. I heard back in March and by April, I knew I had gotten a seat. However, I know of some of us in the program that did not hear back until April.

The month of May is when you hear back for seats from the program. The end of February and the whole month of March is when you hear from them for interviews.

[samanthadickson]

[amandag13]

Has anyone sent the program updates for patient contact hours or know where to send them?

[DRHRT]

[accaryan]

I interviewed back in April 2016 with CUNY Sophie Davis and this is my second time applying. Hoping to get another chance to interview this time around. Didn't hear that I got an interview until March so I'm still patiently waiting! :)

hi! did you ask why you weren't accepted at that time? I'm just looking to see what kind of candidates they are looking for and how competitive it is. Thanks :)

I tried emailing and calling with no response. I never even received a rejection letter from the school after my interview so I am really not sure. This was 2 years ago now so not sure how much has changed since then.

Oh gotcha, I can't believe they didn't even notify with a rejection response. What were your stats when u applied then? If you don't mind me asking
