If you don't mind sharing, what are your stats? cGPA: 3.27 sGPA: 3.07 Postbac: 4.0 PCE: 5,000+ So they are definitely looking at the person holistically because I did not have the best grades in undergrad.

prepa337 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hey everyone! I applied to Lipscomb's PA program September 1st and have not heard anything back yet regarding my application. I did get confirmation on September 1st that my application was received and was under review. I went to one of the open houses and loved the program! Any advice? I'm afraid this long waiting period is a bad sign as it seems as though they have been reviewing applications quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try emailing them maybe just asking in general when you should be hearing back. So I have not gone to one of the open houses, but do you mind saying what you loved about the (hopeful to be) program?! Keep waiting patiently..I hope you hear from them soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prepa337 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Yes, my favorite part about the program was the faculty, they were very welcoming and seemed like a great group of people to be spending time with, also very organized! It is a Christian based school and it truly felt like they cared about you as a person and not just as a student. The PA facilities were beautiful and the campus and surrounding area felt really safe. They are actually remodeling an entire building to be just for the PA program. The school also already has agreements with a lot of clinical sites for rotations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg023 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This is a question I should probably know the answer to.... but applications due March 1 are for just the October cohort or also for the following January cohort ??Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crcrown Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Have they sent out any rejections as quick as they have sent out interview invites? I received the email saying they received my application on October 20th but still have not heard a response about my status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth713 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 This is kind of a weird question, but for everyone who applied here... are you Christian? Their program sounds great and I really like their values (which are apparently Christian-based), but I am Jewish and I'm worried that this might affect my chances of getting in. I have an interview in February and I'm nervous that they are going to ask questions about Christianity/faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA17applicant Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 @Elizabeth713 may I ask when you applied to the program and when you got invited to the interview? I’m waiting to hear from them :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received my email October 19 and haven’t heard either. I’m assuming the worst since they have very speedy turnarounds for some other applicants for interviews?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyrical Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I just declined my interview for January 11, so if you haven't been extended an interview invitation yet don't lose hope! Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, so I'm Muslim (and wear a hijab, so pretty overtly Muslim lol) and my interview is in January so I'll let you know how it goes! I think if they do ask faith based questions the best thing you can do is tie it into your faith's values which I would find to be very similar among all religions. From my personal experience, being different actually adds diversity to a school population and can often work in your favor. Good luck :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calendar Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Does anyone have an update on the program's accreditation status? I know they were supposed to be provisionally accredited around this time. I just checked Lipscomb's website, and there is no change in the section and I did check the official website and they are not listed http://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation/accredited-programs/ I will call tomorrow and update you all if I find anything. Please let me know if you find out anything else. I would like to know before I fly out to interview in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their statement on their website that says they’ll find out June 2018 I think is still their plan? That would be good info though thanks!
