sdprepa Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 19 hours ago, PAPursuit said: What are your stats if i May ask? No problem at all! CASPA verified GPA: 3.3 GRE: 306 PCE hrs: 6800 Volunteer hrs: 1200 Shadowing hrs: 90 I'm a second-time applicant. The first time around, I used a dramatic story in my personal narrative, this cycle I wrote from the heart. That, plus my supplemental essays, improved dramatically in regards to who I am and how I want to make an impact as a PA! Hope this helps! Good luck to all!!

I'm unsure if I'm a good person to ask as I haven't yet received an invitation to interview or a rejection, but mine was approximately 2500 characters. I tried to go by an average of other school guidelines for supplemental essays, and wrote from the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsu89 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hey guys, I just got the email today for an interview invite! This is my 3rd time applying to PA schools and I was able to bring my 2.57 GPA undergrad to a 3.3 cumulative over the last 4 years. There's always hope for low GPAs if you're willing to put work in. I think my supplemental apps and over 6 years in EMS really helped me out. Congratulations to everyone who has received good news so far and good luck to those still waiting!

Thanks but no interview unfortunately! My PCE was mainly as an ophthalmic photographer/tech and some HCE working as a scribe. I also did a lot of work with patients involved in clinical research. I did try to diversify my experience by volunteering/shadowing at a local hospital in the main OR & ICU and shadowed in various oncology specialities. Not sure if having all specialized medicine was a red flag since I didn't have any experience in primary care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMB Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Does anyone by chance know how they see that you've paid the supplemental application fee? When I paid it, it just asked my name and no number. Thankfully my name is on the more unique side, but has anyone had a problem with that part of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMB Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Ok, hmmm. I don't remember entering my CASPA number. And I don't see anything on the receipt. Maybe I should call them? I do remember thinking it was very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nat15 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi guys! I'm about to submit my application (just waiting on one more eval to come through!). I was wondering how you guys felt about answering the religious preference question on the supplemental? I haven't seen that with other programs I'm applying to and I thought that was a little unusual. Thanks and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of it same way as they ask patients at the hospital. In case of emergency, do they need to call a priest for you? Right along with emergency contact.
