No where on the website could I find this info. The PAEA directoy says the number of seats is 42. I'm not sure how accurate that is since there is some information on the page that contradicts CBU's website. I don't know what the average stats are.

If you can afford $51 to apply to the program I'd say give it a shot since there's no supplemental application/GRE scores to send. They received my app and invited me to an interview within a couple of days so turnaround time seems good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasser2 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 So I've seen a lot of people apply to this school but is anybody worried about paying 112,000 for the entire 2 year program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmr14 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I think it's odd I haven't gotten an interview here yet. Received one from UTHSC which is the one school I was t sure if I had a chance or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAapplicant Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Anyone who interviewed 8/4/17 know when we should expect to hear about acceptance, waitlist, denial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utvol Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was told we would know Tuesday (tomorrow) but I heard some say give it until the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMorty Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I was also told to look for a decision 8/8/17. I'm not sure if it will be an eMail, phone call, or letter. Interview post-mortem: I feel as though one of my interviews went really well, the other not so much. I liked CBU's campus and the feel of community, but what really sold me was spending time with a CBU PA grad. It was definitely an intensive interview process.

Anyone willing to share how the interview process went from the 08/04 date? Have you received the interview agenda? It will follow that schedule. You'll have some great opportunities to ask questions and get to know the faculty and staff, see the campus, and decide if CBU is right for you. The food they provided (from the dining hall) is delicious. I won't go into any details about the interview questions/process, but I'll say this: be yourself and try to find out if the program is a good fit for you.

TcPA2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I applied The first week of July, got an email the next week with interview dates. I interviewed August 4th, and was accepted the following week. I plan to start the program in January. During the interview they stated that there were 25 seats available. There were 22 students ( I think) at the interview. Not sure who else has been accepted, I didn't know anyone there. I redid prerequisites bc mine were to old. GPA of new prerequisites 4.0 shadowing : 100 hours experience : 6 years in pharmacy, 1 year as phlebotomist the wait is stressful:/ good luck !

I was in the interview on August 4th and was accepted as well. I wonder how many people they ended up accepting from our interview group... I guess they weren't kidding when they said that our interview group was impressive as it looks like a few were accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD2PA Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Received an interview invite this afternoon! Unfortunately, I didn't see it until now so I can't call to set the interview date. I am super excited as this is my first interview this cycle. I am just a little worried about the accreditation status as I was accepted last CASPA cycle to a developing program which never gained accreditation. Can anyone tell me what the interview set up is like? Group, one on one, panel? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was extremely nice and down to Earth, the campus is nice, the food is great. I have some concerns about them not gaining accreditation too, but they seemed pretty confident and the new program director has a history of program start-up success. They have had a program in the past too but I'm not sure if that is helpful/indicative of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to start preparing asap. Also, I found a couple cheap hotels in the area but do you recommend one in particular? I am driving up there from South Florida.
