That does not sound correct.

Based on the class profiles on their website, there's approximately 65PA students and 15 NP students per cohort.

Thats interesting, at our interview they definetly said 60:40 ratio i must of got mixed up but either way the more slots the better our chances i guess. 

For those who were accepted, when do you have to respond by? Im assuming thats the earliest the waitlist people will hear back.

I’m going to say at least 20 based off of the people that responded here. There’s always more that didn’t respond. It doesn’t make our odds very appealing. 

I would guess that the wait list is large, probably much more than 20. They interviewed more than 200 candidates and it sounds like very few did not receive the secondary, and I'm not sure if anyone was outright rejected after submitting the secondary.

Happy Holidays! Huge congratulations to everyone that got accepted and good luck to those that are on the waitlist. Has anyone created a Facebook group for the new admitted 2019 cohort? Can't wait to meet all of you in June 🙂 

Happy Holidays!!  Also congratulations to everyone that got accepted!!! I haven't seen Facebook group yet.  I would be willing to start one if someone hasn't started it yet.  Everyone one that has been accepted, Tell us about yourself. 

As for me, I am 41 years old, I have two kids, ages 3 and 6.  I have spent the last 20 years working in emergency response on both fire and EMS.  I currently live in Napa and work in Sonoma and Mendocino counties.  I am very excited to start this new journey and can't wait to meet and start this journey with you.

Happy 2019! I’m in my 50’s and from a small town in the eastern Sierras. I work as a MA in local clinics and EMT on our local fire department. I also own an environmental consulting firm. Being a PA has been a dream of mine and I’m so excited to begin. I’m interested in networking re housing opportunities close to campus and look forward to meeting you all.

Hey guys! I like this getting to know eachother thing so I thought I'd add! Very excited to meet and get to know our new cohort! I'm 25 years old and was born and raised in Fresno, Ca. I graduated from CSU Monterey in 2015 with a BS in Bio. From there, I applied three times and worked as a scribe and a MA in Monterey for about 4 years. I followed my fiance to Sacramento (She is a PA-S2 at UoP) and have finished my first year on a BLS rig as an EMT. No kids for me, and travel quite a bit because why not? If anyone has questions about the area, hit me up and I'll do my best. Very excited to start our program with you all!

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to meet you all!! I’m 25 years old and I’m from the bay area (Hayward). I graduated in 2016 with my bachelor’s in biology from CSU East Bay. For my healthcare experience, I work as a hospital CNA in the med/surg and oncology unit. I shadowed a surgical PA and a hospitalist. This is my second year of applying so I’m super stoked that I got into my number 1 choice!

Hi Jayerza32,

 

Congrats on the acceptance to the 2019 cohort and also to your fiance for the second year at UOP.  Myself and my fiance will be looking for housing near the UCD campus.  My fiance is an NP and will be looking for work there in the Sacramento area.  Once she finds work we will be moving.  What part of town do you live in?  Do you recommend it?  We were thinking Mid-town, Oakpark, Tahoe park areas.

Best advice I can give is avoid oak park, the pocket, and south sac. Higher areas of crime and known gang areas. I live in the Arden Arcade area which is more residential (10 min from campus via The 50), The downtown and midtown areas have some great apartments and have plenty to do close by! I recommend there if you are looking for a more social experience, and you wont need freeway access for class. These apartments do have a wider range of pricing and trend on the more expensive side. Downtown by Sutter General Hospital (SMCS) is not so great,  but anything west of that is perfect.
