Just wondering if anyone was in the same boat.. Same boat! I think my application was complete August 3rd, nothing since. I'm not sure there are any upcoming interview sessions at this point, so it's hard to not give up hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them I applied in late July and haven’t heard back so I emailed and they responded with. Our Admissions Committee is still diligently reviewing a total of over 1,400 applications we received this year. We will contact you December-January by email through CASPA. Thank you for your patience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1walnut Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 @Isabel @RadTechS Yeah I'm sure II are done. Just weird because last app cycle I was moved to secondary but it took a couple of weeks.. And it seems UF usually rejects quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The last scheduled interviews were the week of November 27. They always state that they can hold additional interviews. However, with the high caliber of interviewees and how competitive the process is, this is highly unlikely, and I haven't heard of it happening for at least 8 years, if not longer. Right now they are focused on finalizing the class and wait lists before winter break. Everyone should receive some sort of response by January. If you didn't get accepted this time around and UF is where you want to go, please reapply. Reapplications are seen highly, especially if you took the time to keep growing, take additional coursework, and add new skills or experiences. Furthermore, I encourage you to contact the program in the Spring to see how you can improve your application. For those of you on the wait list, know that while it's a tough spot to be in, you interviewed well and held your own amongst 1400 candidates. I can't stress how competitive this process is and difficult it is for the AdCom to decide between those who interviewed. How many persons on the wait list get called for a spot in the class varies wildly each year and calls go out sometimes up to the week before the program begins. Furthermore, they traditionally have not disclosed where each person is on the list. I wish everyone all the best on their PA journey. It is long, sometimes frustrating, but it's worth it, I promise. Don't lose focus on your goal and don't let the application process get to you. Please post any questions you may have between now and the next cycle. I'm happy to help however I can.

PAApp55 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I interviewed in October but haven't heard anything back yet. I am registered to take the casper test on the 12/12 date, do you think the casper test is the reason why I haven't heard back yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickT Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 cGPA: 3.8; bcpGPA: 3.9; GRE: 328 (v166/q162/w5.0); PCE: 1748 hours as a hospital tech EMT/CNA; 80 hours shadowing 2x PA's; fully bilingual; 2nd career hispanic/caucasian male applicant with a non-science master's and straight A's in all pre-reqs + orgo and genetics Applied late July, interviewed October, rejected yesterday by email. 1 of my 3 recommendations turned out to be a dud; I think the unit manager I asked to write it may have been mad that I left her unit to go back to school. I wish she would have warned me off. I worked my toosh off in that unit, and she was cheerful and positive when I asked her to write a recommendation. Or more likely, she was just too busy to write much. I may also have blown the interviews. All 3 of my interviewers were wonderful people, a true pleasure to speak with. I was even lucky enough to sit with Mrs. P. Wow, what an amazing person. I can certainly understand why people are intimidated by her, but I liked her very much. But I was so nervous, that I felt afterwards that I hadn't communicated well who I was. I never felt good about my chances after the interviews. Sincere congratulations to the accepted class! You must be so proud, and I feel excited for you. May you learn well and serve your patients effectively. Perhaps one day we will work together My heart also goes out to those of you who are as sad as I am right now. If you interviewed ... hey, at least we got a sweet UF pen and microfiber cloth. I'm gonna go wipe my glasses with the cloth and cry myself to sleep holding the pen. j/k. Seriously, it's ok. Most of you will get in somewhere else, I imagine. Me, I was all in on UF, so I'll be going back to UCF to take some more courses and try again next year. Roll with the punches, get back up and back to work, no?

Cookiefiend Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hey guys! Has anyone on the waitlist gotten a phone call? Apparently alternates will start receiving calls mid-January. Also, has anyone been accepted, but decided to go somewhere else? Grasping at hope here! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting is rough, but remember the goal is to become a PA. So unless there is a critical reason for holding out for UF, I'd go with the sure path. Once you're in, it's only a matter of time and effort before you become a PA. All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedIsLifePA Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 On the website it says to list Shadowing hours under HRE (health related experienced) but other schools want it under the specific shadowing tab. What did you all do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
