Meeting was very long , it is hard to put all I have learned in letter . All I can say it was worth all the energy, time and money I have invested to come to that meeting all the way from FL. I had an opportunity to speak with admission directors, dean , detector of the PA program and PA students . so far this year almost 1500 applications and only 27 open spots . They look for well rounded applicants with life experience, health care experience. high gpa ( not their priority). They want diversity in the class . They are looking for interesting and smart candidates who can show their interest in QU and be able to explain why. Learn the history of QU and their PA program . Prepare to answer the question- why not MD school ? What is your weakness you are trying to over come? etc ... here my stats : PCA:8000+ cGPA 3.97, sGPA 4.0 volunteer over 100hr within last year LOR: 2 from PAs I worked with and shadow , 1 from Dermotalogy reasurcher and MD at Yale university ( I shadowed him ), 1 from NICU Doctor I worked with, 1 from chemistry professor . hopefully it helps. Best of luck ! Edited June 13, 2018 by YGrabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadapter Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 10 hours ago, clarbd said: OMG... only 27 open spots?!?! I attended their open house in 2015. QU does have a direct-entry "pre-PA" bachelor's path which guarantees admission to their graduate PA program. This is from their FAQ directly: "We have 54 spots available each year. Of the 54 spots, a percentage of those spots come from Quinnipiac’s pre-PA program known as the entry level master’s physician assistant program (ELMPA). Students who have successfully completed all requirements of the ELMPA program, as well as the admissions requirements, will also be granted admission to the master of health science physician assistant program." I was a little confused because really they only accept approximately 25-27 students from outside applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I tried to chat with them , to just find out if the received my application. No luck . They transferred me to an admission consular and this chat never connected me to anyone . So I just left my question and we will see if any one replies. I guess we will have to wait a little longer for this school I applied and was verified around June 11 or so... and around June 25 I received this "acknowledgement email" saying the following: Thank you for your interest in and application to the Quinnipiac University Physician Assistant program. This email confirms that we have received your CASPA application and it is currently under review.A supplemental application is NOT required. We recognize that this is a lengthy admissions process and hope that the brief timeline below will be helpful in understanding our admissions cycle. June – September: Initial review of files by Graduate Admissions and the PA Department September – November: Interviews held on the North Haven campus If selected for an interview, invitations are sent (via email) approximately two weeks prior to the interview date. Interviews consist of being greeted by and mingling with current PA students, an in-depth group briefing by the program co-chair and campus tours by current PA students. Additionally, interviews will be conducted with various teams of PA faculty, preceptors, graduates, health science faculty and administrators.October – January: Admissions decisions sent out electronically via email. If accepted after an interview, you will be notified as early as two weeks post interview to as late as February. To hold your seat in the class, a five hundred dollar matriculation deposit is due within two weeks of acceptance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
