Earlthe Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Might as well get these started, if everyone can post their GPA/ PCE/ (something that makes you unique as an applicant?), E-submit date, and verification date that would be awesome Goodluck people!

The applicant pool is incredibly competitive this year. We regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you an interview for further consideration. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.Sincerely, Admissions Committee” I have applied to 8 schools , so far two is out . Hopping for the best !

I didn’t think PA schools had a problem with age though. Dang, you definitely deserved an interview there, not sure what the problem was.

What were your credentials? I don't have a great GPA but I was an athlete and am a dual major with a minor and am hoping that helps me a bit. I got sick with Lyme Disease so my GPA suffered and dropped from a 3.6 to a 3.2 after a 2.0 semester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
