PA135 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Anyone have an interview this Wednesday and know where we're supposed to report? The instructions say 9 am at the school, but don't say where at the school so I'm a bit confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amt5672 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Has anyone received a rejection letter? I submitted my app on May 17th but haven't heard anything since...don't know if I should just consider that a rejection or consider no news good news.

Was it easygoing? Any tips or pointers?? It is just as easygoing as previous years have indicated. None of the questions should really be surprising. They tell you about the program, you have a one on one, and you get a tour. All very standard interview scheduling. They told us that a decision would be made within 2-3 weeks. From last year’s forum post, it looked like people got notified about a week later for some of the first interview dates. That is what happened with me.

SonSooYun Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I received this e-mail this morning and was hoping someone could chime in and expand on what this means? "Greetings from Salus University and thank you for your interest in our Physician Assistant Program. The Office of Admissions is processing and reviewing applications on a daily basis. At this time, you have not yet been invited to interview for the incoming class of 2021. However, your file is still active and under review as the program continues to invite candidates to interview and admit on a rolling basis. We are anticipating that the interview process will continue until January. While it is still early in the application cycle, we encourage you to submit any updated grades, GRE scores and patient/shadow experiences as they become available that were not originally part of your CASPA application. These may help to enhance your record. Please note: Official transcripts and GRE scores can be sent directly to Salus University at the address below or electronically while shadow and patient care hour updates can be emailed in paragraph form to this email account. We hope that the information provided is helpful to you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming it means we’re still being considered but they are interviewing stronger candidates before inviting us for an interview. Can anyone else shed some light on this?

kw113 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Anybody who has had an interview already, has anyone received an email stating that they haven't made a decision yet, but that you are still a competitive applicant and your app is still under review?

Maybe you'll hear something soon, it's still early. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they would follow up but I haven't gotten anything yet. Does anyone else know how long they give to decide? They will send an email with the official info as well as a letter. You have two weeks from the date on the letter to get your deposit postmarked in the mail. My letter was dated July 19th so I had until August 2nd to get it in the mail.

They live at the Towers at Wyncote, $650 a month, very nice place. They don't care if you are male or female. If you are looking for a place to live in the Elkins Park area contact Brooke at (317) 753-7774, or bsg0001@salus.edu Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a typical HR letter when you interview for a job but they are not interested. The "we will keep your file active" is just a nice way of saying "sorry but we are moving on with other candidates". To me, it seems like the admin person/people use to work in HR. I could be wrong, but it seems from other emails/letters/calls communications people have had, Salus admins are vague in order to be civil and let people down easy to save face. In my opinion, if they were interested, they would have offered that link with interview dates that are further down the road (afterall Salus is rolling admissions and they have way more applicants that interview spots, and we all know how amazing everyone's stats typically are) I wish they were more direct instead of these misleading niceties as not to get peoples hopes up.
