FuturePA9987 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 @dp1391 Good luck on your Casper exam. Did you get any feedback as to why you were waitlisted? Also, what were your stats last cycle? And this cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I got interview and got into wait-list. I hope to get it in this year. Also my CASPer Test is today let's hope we do good. Any background like stats from last year compared to this year? Always good for future applicants to have a way of gauging their potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medic1210 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) @patobe82 we are in similar position with academics. 3.51 and 3.83 for my qualifying and prerequisite. Only major difference is 25k of direct HCE as a medic for me. I also have some leadership, research, and volunteer work. Best of luck to you. I can’t see why you wouldn’t get an interview. Did they tell you last cycle what you needed to improve? Edited March 6, 2019 by medic1210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patobe82 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Ok so I emailed the director and they said I had too many b’s in my prerequisite classes, so I retook the 3 classes I got B’s in. I’m actually taking anatomy and physiology 2 right now and have an A. So I’ll get a 4.0 for prerequisite if I can get my transcript to them in time for interviews. Also, I kept working as a care partner like he said to do. Here goes nothing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one B and an A- in my prereqs and unfortunately due to my stupid self one F in my last 43 credits but it’s from more than three years ago. Hopefully it won’t drag me down. But seriously great job on your hard work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patobe82 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 He told me that most of the class has less than two b’s in their prerequisite, so I’m not sure if that is an importantStatistic they look at, but if it is we are in good standing. Good job to you too. That’s an amazing amount of healthcare hours too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think I recall reading they weigh your prereqs higher than replacement or whatever it may be. I don’t want quoted on that but if someone else wants to weigh in on this being true or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA9987 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Wow! Awesome improvement @patobe82 I didn’t realize that prerequisite grades can be updated? I thought everything that was sent in by March 1 was final? I had two Bs in my prerequisites last cycle and the rest were As. I was told one B or none is ideal. @medic1210 I’m not sure about the prereqs weighing more but I hope that’s true! Don’t beat yourself up too bad about your last 40. If you happen to have to reapply, just take another class or two to knock that F out of the last 40 and it will be out of your life forever! Fingers crossed! Wishing everyone the best!

patobe82 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Okay so everything is final on March 1st, but I was told if you get your unofficial transcript in and you call them, that it may be looked it when interview time comes around.. I’m just hoping it will but technically everything is final on March 1st. I hope that clears things up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medic1210 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’m not at that point. I work 50+ hours a week as a medic so that keeps me occupied. Plus I’m starting to GRE prep to add some schools for next year just in case lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing everyone the best! @FuturePA2022 I agree about beating myself up but to answer the question about prerequisite > qualifying GPA, I do recall reading it but can’t source it. However, when EVMS sends the application file requirements after app submission, notice prereqs, CASPER, and other things are mentioned but not qualifying GPA. It’s not listed for part of the file review. That strikes me as odd. Perhaps it does carry less weight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcyJ Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Update to my question RE: last 40 replacement GPA. Received an an email that stated they utilized my last 43 credits and my GPA is 3.51. That’s lower than my competitive 3.87 GPA. I’m not sure how they determined using my last 43 and not my last 40.5. I’ve emailed them to ask about this. There is now a good chance I won’t be interviewing if this stays as is. Someone may have said this already, but, they will take the better of the two GPAs. It's not automatically the last 40 for everyone. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk ETA: I misread your comment initially as cumulative instead of "competitive." But, I'll leave my comment in case it helps anyone else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA9987 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Correct. The better of the last 40 credits GPA, undergrad GPA or graduate GPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
