SeanC17 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I wanted to go ahead and start the thread for this cycle. I submitted on 5/22 and was verified on 5/23. I've also already submitted my supplemental application. Does anyone know when MEDEX begins contacting for interviews? Good luck to all!

judibautel Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I was wondering the same. I will post if I hear anything! Best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPOT2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I’m just wondering so if you submitted on the 22nd and they verified the next day, do they received all your transcripts and evaluations already? I’m new to this and planning on hitting the submit button by end of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC17 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yes. I actually waited until I knew they had everything before I submitted. Hit submit mid afternoon and it was verified the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QIUQIU Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I submitted my application on 5/5, it took a long time to be verified because Caspa was waiting on my transcripts and evaluations. It was verified on 6/6. I already sent in my supplemental application. Which campus Is your first and second choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPOT2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Finally, I decided to hit submit last night. They are still waiting for one of my transcript and one of the evals. I don’t know really my overall GPA at this point. I know it’s above 3.0 for sure. But my undergraduate degree is not from U.S but my graduate and associate degrees are both here in U.S. So at this point I’ll just be waiting and try to follow up with one of my evals.

JSCampbell Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I submitted CASPA early May and was verified shortly after. I then submitted supplemental application on May 16 and received an email on May 29 stating I’ve met all the min requirements but they need my GRE scores to send my application for full faculty review. GRE is scheduled for June 16. Edited June 8, 2018 by JSCampbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't get Anchorage then Spokane or Tacoma are my backups. If you have any questions about anything let me know. As mentioned my wife will be a MEDEX graduate in August. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Before I did my CASPA app I was communicating via email to one staff at MEDEX. I forwarded my transcripts with her and she responded via email which classes are acceptable and which classes should I retake since it’s past 7 years already. So I am retaking this summer Physiology 2B and General Biology. She did ok’d my chemistry classes although it’s past 7 years. Today my CASPA was verified and my GPA are all good. Do you think MEDEX staff remembers that they told me mychemistry was good? I still have the email conversation saved up on my email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed them about a few classes and they also give me good info. IMO Chemistry doesn't really change in 7 years like A&P could. Also based on how important A&P and some of the other classes are in MEDEX I see why it's 7 years. The classes are very intensive.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPOT2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Does anyone here doesn’t have PA shadowing experience yet? I don’t have any yet since I work with them in the ED. But I’m trying so hard to get one before September but will send MEDEX an email that it’s in progress once I find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpat11394 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 How is the supplemental app? Might have to mentally prepare myself for more essay questions, if there is any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlzbarkley Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Good luck everybody!! University of Washington is my top choice. I'm so excited and nervous! It seems like last year students heard back for interviews late August/ early September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellosummer Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I’m a reapplicant this cycle. Application criteria met June 1. I applied to Tacoma and Seattle. My husband got into Tacoma last cycle and just finished his first week of on-campus classes. The faculty sounds amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtpnw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Finally submitted my application! MEDEX is definitely a long shot for me and is my reach school for this cycle. My PCE is not as strong as they like to see, but I figure it's worth a shot since I meet their minimum requirements and have strong regional ties. Fingers crossed... I would love to attend the Tacoma program. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO MEDEX looks more at the individual than one specific category. A current classmate in my wife's class has a low GPA in the 2.7 range and he was accepted and will be graduating next month. As long as you meet their minimum requirements and be yourself in the interviews. That gets a lot of people is being nervous, not talking with other interviewees, they look at the personal interaction too. Thank you so much for your kind words! I am certainly holding out hope. Congratulations to your wife! I hope to be in her shoes soon. I know that MEDEX strongly prefers candidates with higher hour counts and my strengths are definitely on the academic side. But you never really know if part of your application will resonate with someone I guess. I have heard through the grapevine that things have been changing a bit at MEDEX over the last year or so, and they did drop their minimum hour count, so it seems like it may be true. Either way, I got an email stating that I am complete and that I at least meet their minimum requirements. Happy that I will at least get a full review and a "holistic evaluation" of my application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrittLundy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hi all! My name is Britt, I am a reapplicant who interviewed last cycle and plan to turn in my application again here shortly. If anyone has any questions I'm happy to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanmitchell7467 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I am wondering, has interviewed, or been accepted that does not live in the WWAMI region? I know that their website states that they strongly encourage applicants from this region, and I am from Utah, but I would love the opportunity to go to MEDEX.

akmclaughlin Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hey everyone my name is Jenny. I turned in everything on June 27th and on July 13th got my email saying I had met the basic requirements. I'm hoping to get into the Anchorage campus, since Alaska is my home, but Tacoma is my second choice. With August coming to an end the anticipation starts to grow to hear one way or another. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
