adorsey Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hey guys, I figured I'd start a new thread for this year! The deadline is this Saturday, so hopefully we hear something soon. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulpa17 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I don't think we'll hear anything until the first week of August. Their CASPA application deadline is today, but they still allow for GRE scores to be sent until 8/1. This all according to the FAQ and timeline from previous forums.

AKPA89 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi everyone, I am currently in my 1st year here at the UNC PA program. If you guys have any questions about the program I would be happy to try and answer them. I spoke with the faculty, and they said they will be sending out interviews the beginning to middle of August. Best of luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaW83 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi! What do you like most about the Peogram? Do you do skills every week? What were the average statistics coming into the class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPA89 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi MelissaW83, I would have to say what I like most about the program is that they are genuinely their to help you succeed. They do everything they can to help you with your courses and are very receptive to feedback. Since the program is new, their are still a few bumps to be hammered out, but they do everything they can to make the next semester better for their students. Since the program is also only 20 students, it feels more like a family. Everyone helps everyone and no one gets left behind. As far as skills lab goes, we spend about 4 hours a week on average working with standardized patients, hospital patients, and working with our classmates to better our history, physical, diagnosis, and treatment plans. I don't know exactly the class statistics as to grades and GRE scores, but everyone comes from many different backgrounds. I think our average student age is 30 and clinic hours vary greatly between everyone. Also, about half of our class was in the military previously. I hope that answers your questions. Let me know if their is anything else I can answer for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaW83 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 That is great thank you ! Part of what I love about Chapel Hill is the commitment to Veterans. I previously served in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman . That is great about class size and the team approach. That is what I am looking for in a program. Thank you so much for responding and taking time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piperpottamus Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I got an email back when my CASPA application was received, with a link to a supplemental application, which I completed. Is Everyone in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharen Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Anyone hear anything from UNC over the last week or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaW83 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi I haven't heard anything from UNC over the weekend( or even since my application was complete). However I did start browsing the website of the program and it says that interviews will be given out 01 September 2017 with interview dates to be around 18-22 September 2017 with decisions coming out 01 October 2017. I am hoping that I am not coming off harshly, I truly promise that is not how I am meaning to come off. I know that I am quite anxious about it and seeing dates really helped me. I have also attached a screen shot of the page that on the website just to show where I was getting the information. I just wanted to give everyone the opportunity to read what I had read as well. Good luck to everyone applying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-read the admissions page and saw that it said, you will receive a decision BY September 1st. Now I stop checking my emails by 2pm everyday because I live in Washington state. You are right, the waiting is stressful but not as bad as the application process itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelissaW83 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thank you ! I'm totally losing my mind over this application! In terms of GPA where it has the two categories THe pre-requisite and regular GPA. I know that the pre-requisite has to be at least 3.2 but the first one it says 3.0 or last 60 3.0. Does that mean that for the overall you either have to be over3.0 total or over 3.0 for the last 60? Sorry for all the questions I'm stressing about all aspects here.

MelissaW83 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So if the cumulative is not over 3.0 they will review the last 60? I'm sorry for all the questions :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry for all the questions :( In theory, yes. From what I have read, and I have done extensive research over the last year in the process seeing as how I fit that mold. There is certainly a lot more that is involved within your application but the GPA is a large hurdle and gets people eliminated almost immediately if they do not fit the pre-requisites.
