GoffL1 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) I saw that nobody has started the forum for this upcoming cycle and figured I would go ahead and make it for everyone! Best of luck! I will be attending the upcoming info session on June 1st at 2:00 pm. If anyone else will be in St. Louis around then maybe we could meet up!

KP5537 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 This is my second time applying to this program so I am excited to see how it plays out this year! Unfortunately I do not live super close to Saint Louis but if you have any insight from the session that would be great! Good luck to you.

pa314 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hi everyone, I see that the deadline for this program is November 1st, but does anyone know if admissions run on a rolling basis? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquacamel Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) https://www.slu.edu/programs/graduate/physician-assistant-mms.php Under Application Process at the bottom of the page - "CASPA applications and SLU supplemental applications are reviewed beginning June 1. We recommend early submission of all application materials by Aug. 1." The website doesn't say they wait until August 1 to start reviewing applications, so I'm assuming its a rolling basis pending receipt of CASPA + essay and the supplemental fee.

I just started following this forum, but I was at the info session that day too! Wish I would have seen this earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Yes, admissions are on a rolling basis. Interviews begin in October, and after each interview, they will either offer you a spot or put you on the waitlist. After the next interview, they will offer more spots and revisit the waitlist. If you are on the waitlist you may be offered a spot after any one of the subsequent interviews. They continue this process until all the seats are filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWB77 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, I am currently in the SLU PA class of 2019. I am on the forums quite a bit and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. I know it's a long process so hang in there and good luck to everyone.

KP5537 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Not sure if this helps you guys, but I applied last year and was not accepted. I got an email with the rejection and it stated "the best way to increase your chances is to apply by July 15th in order to considered for all interview dates". Last year I applied in September so I don't think that helped my chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My application was verified by CASPA on July 18th and I have paid the supplemental fee/completed the SLU Program Materials. I am curious to know about how long SLU takes before they email you (although I’m sure it probably differs from person to person).

Southpaw45 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Question on GRE scores SLU states GRE not required, however I have competed the GRE and scores are submitted in CASPA (application shows the unofficial score and until you request official scores when they show both on your application). With being not required - should I send CASPA a GRE score for SLU or? Scores 151 / 155 / 4.0 Thanks NOTE: Application was submitted Last day of July.

You can put your unofficial GRE score in CASPA, but don’t bother sending an official copy. I called them back in June when I was submitting my application and they said they wouldn’t consider an official score even if they received it (which was a relief for my wallet).

jmkEnzo Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Any of you who have had your applications under review by SLU, have you heard anything yet? I just received my email from SLU that my application is now under review so I’m eager to hear how long the review process generally takes!

I submitted my application on June 25th and was notified that everything had been received on July 10th. On August 15th they sent me an email that my application had been scored. So looks like about a month-ish for them to score everything! They also provided their interview dates if one is offered: October 12th, November 9th, January 11th, February 1st, and February 22nd. So be sure to keep those dates clear if SLU is your top choice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Helen, the admissions coordinator, seems to be pretty open to prospective students contacting her with questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
