mmchick Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I see there still hasn't been a new thread for this yet! Please feel free to post updates on your app process. CASPA app completed 5/29, graduate app completed 5/14, and email for JMU-ID was received 6/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpat23 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Have you received any emails about an interview yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmchick Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 I have not! My first post is still the most updated. Based off of last year's posts, it seems that interviews don't generally start going out until September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelessrd Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Did anyone receive an "under review" email? I submitted CASPA and the supplemental recently and I received something from the graduate school but nothing specifically from the PA program. The August 1st deadline is coming up and I want to make sure my application is complete before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alc13b Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yea I don't think the PA program is sending out confirmation emails because I submitted in June and I haven't heard a thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmchick Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I haven't either, the only emails I have received are what I put in the first post. I'm assuming if you've received an email for a JMU-ID set up, then your application has been received as when you go onto the application portal, the graduate school app is clearly shown.

mmchick Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 This is one of the few schools that does not let out interview invites until very late in the game. I'm thinking (based on past threads) that the first rounds begin in September sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfluke1816 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just received email invitation to schedule an interview. However, I have just been accepted to Shenandoahs program. I'm still going to interview at JMU to see if it's a better "fit", but if any of your are willing to share: Why would you choose JMU over Shenandoah or vice versa (other than the cost aspect)?

bensexton2 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 @bfluke1816 Congratulations on your acceptance to SU. I will recommend you interview at JMU as well. While others perspective is important, you can also talk to the students from both campuses to weigh in your options reviewing faculty support to the students. They are both good schools in own opinion. Do you mind sharing your stats and are you a VA resident? I am still hoping to get invited to interview at both campuses. Congrats again!

lkrohn314 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Received an interview invitation last evening! I was given the option of choosing either 9/22 or 10/6 and chose Friday, 10/6. I'll be driving in from D.C. that morning. This will be my very first interview and I am really looking forward to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfluke1816 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 @bensexton2, @SomedayaPA I got to choose from 2 dates, Sept 22 & Oct 6 (chose the early one). I submitted CASPA May 27th and started hearing from schools end of June. Since this is the first cycle I've applied to, I wasn't sure how "competitive" I was and wanted to apply to a wide variety of schools hoping to get into just one. Ideally I wanted to get into a Virginia school because that's where I live. I was honestly surprised to hear from so many considering I am a recent graduate and relatively young (graduated in 3 years), so I was expecting schools to want more people with "life experience". It goes to show that you don't really know what they are looking for so it's good to apply with an open mind! Here are my application stats: - Recently graduated from UF with BS in Dietetics (similar to Nutrition); took many science courses (Genetics, biochem, orgo 1/2, metabolism, disease, etc.) - GPA: 3.98 - GRE: Verbal 57, Quant 56, Writing 4.0 - 1000 hours of patient contact from CNA/PCA work -80 hours shadowing various PA's - letter of Rec's from Nurse Manager, advisor of the club I was president of, RN coworker, Nutrition professor, PA I shadowed -300 or so hours of volunteer work; 300 or so of extracurriculars (running club, leadership activities, etc.) Hope this helps! And if your curious, here are the schools I applied to and their status: - Accepted: Shenandoah, Campbell, South (Savannah) - Waitlisted: Desales - Interviews that I declined: Rosalind Franklin, Wingate, Jefferson, Mississippi College - Schools yet to hear from: Northwestern, Madison Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensexton2 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 @bfluke1816 Way to go! Your stats are outstanding with high GPA and good GRE Scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkrohn314 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Any past applicants have any advice on the interview? It looks like it is MMI format-which I have been researching online but have not actually experienced. Any advice or tips would be appreciated, thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Med4mekp Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 @IKrohn314 just be yourself, seriously. I interviewed on September 22nd, 2017. It was actually a great day and a lot of fun. Kayla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alc13b Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Got an invite to interview on October 6 or October 20. Although I live all the way down in Florida and this is super last minute, I think I am going to pick the 6th. I am super excited and nervous to be interviewing here!!

CASPA submitted 7/2, CASPA Verified 7/4, Supplemental complete 6/30 cGPA = 3.72, sGPA = 3.79, GRE = 317 Hours @ application: Volunteer = 400ish Shadowing = 40ish, HCE as a CNA in the PCU/IMCU = 400ish, plus 2 years of experience working as a manager/ researcher in a neuroscience lab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alc13b Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I just received an email from Sharon informing me that I have been accepted into the PA program!! I am so ecstatic!! My interview with JMU was genuinely a lot of fun and I really liked the current PA students and faculty members that I met. The faculty and students were really nice and really wanted to get to know you. I am overjoyed that I will be attending PA school at JMU! Best luck to all other candidates, especially Group A2 (our group was awesome)! Stats posted earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple more interviews but I really love JMU and it's definitely at the top of my list. Great interview day, faculty and students. Everyone was so inviting and warm, it's hard not to love them :) Leah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
