I wonder what their timeline is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowgirlpa Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 @Kobi29 I applied just after their application opened on July 1st. Haven't heard from any of the schools yet. The first year CBU took online applications but not through CASPA. I had an interview in February or March of that cycle I think. Not sure how they are doing things this year.

Bonist55 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I applied on 8/23/2017 and received a supplemental "questionnaire" a couple of days later but no other information about their expected timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they prefer for you to complete all of your prereqs and hours before you submit. They have not sent out any interviews yet, they are still trying to get everything together. They have no specific date for when they will start sending out interview invites. They will try to give a months notice and interview will be held from the Fall until Feb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellek Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 What is kind of a bummer is that they seem to put heavy weight on overall GPA and science GPA. I personally have a very strong upwards trend for my pre-reqs and last 50ish units, and my overall GPA is pretty low. I fear that trend will not be recognized. Average GPA last year was 3.59 with about 2000 hrs of PCE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk She talked heavily on shadowing. She said if you don't have any shadowing experience, you are at a disadvantage. Also, like I said overall CASPA GPA was said to be incredibly important. You are automatically filtered out if you do not meet their 3.2 overall and 3.0 science GPA requirement. Quality of hours. She said that phlebotomy hours are not great and to try to supplement it with something else. She kept mentioning "vitals". If you do vitals or any type of PCE that involve direct patient assessment, you are fine. They accept volunteer or paid. They like volunteering. She did not talk too much about it but it is looked at. They like LOR from a variety of sources, but would like one from a PA or MD or someone in the health field. ... hmm kind of the usual to be honest. The only think that kind of shocked me (like I said in a post above) is that they do not look at most recent grades, so you better hope you didn't slack too much when you were an immature undergrad student (like myself)!!! They will look at pre req GPA, but this year is the first time they are doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3.59 was the overall GPA of their most recent admitted class. The average science was about a 3.5. I guess their "average" number of PCE was actually much higher than the 2000, but that was due to one student being admitted with 30,000 hours! So the 2000 PCE i wrote was without that crazy skew from that one student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpq Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi guys, When I submitted by supplemental I got a message that said... https://calbaptist.secure.force.com/GradProgramDirectorPortal is under construction. Did you guys get this message as well? or was there a confirmation of submission page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowgirlpa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 @lpq I got that message too. I emailed them and they confirmed they got it. You will get an email afterward with a link to check your status. Mine still says under review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA277 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I submitted my app 7/9 and received/submitted the supplemental questionnaire on 7/11. I haven't received any type of link or confirmation yet though. Do you think it's necessary to contact them or have other people not had any communication either?
