philllyvee Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi guys, So I know I'm pretty late for applying this cycle but my only reason for delaying is to meet the requirements of the many schools that require 1000 hours of HCE/PCE. I'm literally at 920 hours now and in two weeks I will be at 1000 hours. As of right now I plan on applying then but I'm wondering if schools with the requirement of 1000 with accept my 920+ hours since I will continue working all the way up until the start of class. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Bug Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Wait...am I the only person who thinks it's still kinda Earlyish to apply? Anyway, my personal opinion is slow and steady. Take your time to get the hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philllyvee Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Based on the deadlines it seems like we are still relatively early but PA school operate on rolling admissions even if they act like they don't. Likewise, assuming most applicants applying early are the typical type A individuals they, for the most part, will have the best applications and will be getting selected for interviews right away filling up the spots before people like us turn in our applications.

ilygurlie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 For schools that start in Jan 2018, applying now is late. For schools that start in August or so, I would say this is definitely not early but also not late.. somewhere in the middle. I do not suggest applying later than August.

paolahar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I applied early August for a school that started the following August and got in. I don't think it's late at all. It's better to have all your stuff done in order to have a stronger application. Best of luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HanSolo Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 It's late for a program starting January 2018. Fine for a program starting next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat10 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Would it be considered late to apply by August 1st if some of the schools start in May? (they are rolling admissions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't necessarily agree with this, especially not for rolling admission schools. I think it is more advantageous to apply early then to gain another 200 hours of experience. On the other hand if you are applying to schools that you know for sure aren't rolling admissions then it might be better to wait. I guess it depends.

Wellness Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Most of the schools I was going to apply to require the designated amount of hours by matriculation. I highly doubt, if reflected properly on your application, that will harm you in anyway. As long as you make it crystal clear that you are still currently working full-time towards your PCE/HCE hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
