Potatolife Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hey guys! I noticed there wasn't a post about the upcoming application cycle. I wanted to create a post so we could discuss and answer questions for each other. I think making this post will allow us to create connections and encourage each other, so we can all achieve one goal-- getting into PA school!

SpartanNation28 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Has anyone submitted their CASPA yet? I am on the verge of submitting just waiting for one letter and GRE scores to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler514063 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, Just curious if anyone can provide me with some information either from experience or previous cycle forums. I am applying to Eastern in hopes they go through the process quickly. I know the cycle for Eastern ends in September, but does anyone know when the interviews started, or when the offers were sent out for the next year? Thanks for any information.

Interviews begin in the Fall. Eastern offers 30 seats. You should still accept your seat at the other PA school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMU does not look at the applications until after the deadline. You must have been automatically denied if you did not meet a requirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part confuses me... Are you a MA? Scribe? I'm just confused about the quoted above because that's waaay too many hours to be just shadowing but you also said they were pt care hours. They still haven't contacted me except the auto-email saying they've received my CASPA application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayk88 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi every one! I just got two emails from EMU, the first stating I've met the minimum requirements for the program, the second saying my grad application is complete. Hopefully I hear back from them again soon! Good luck all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PADEKO Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Hi Everyone, I received an e-mail that says I meet the requirements, and will be notified as to the status of my application before October 1st.

Mas0nj4r Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Hello everybody! EMU alumni here and a first time applicant to the PA program! I wanted to wish you all the best of luck and hope that the admissions process works in our favor! I submitted my applications late June and had been verified by early July. I had received confirmation that EMU had all documents on August 4th, and that I met the program requirements. Still waiting to hear back from EMU, however we should all be getting feedback within the next few weeks (how exciting/nerve wracking)! Here are some of my stats: CASPA GPA: 3.6 CASPA Science GPA: 3.51 GRE: Verbal-154 / Quantitative-150 / Analytical 4.0 / Composite: 304 Degree: Exercise Science, minors in Human biology and Human Nutrition. Clinical experience: 1,200 Cardiac Rehab & Stress Testing, 8 PA shadow (ortho), 40 DO shadow (ER) Certifications: NFPT-CPT, BLS, ACLS LOR: 5 ( 2 professors, 1 DO, 1 Exercise Physiologist, & 1 Internship coordinator) If anybody has any questions about EMU or the area I would love to share what I know!
