I still haven’t heard from them since they said interview updates will happen in November and December so hoping for the best! I would directly email them with specific class questions. It’s what I did and they always responded really quickly. Edited September 12, 2018 by MishaShisha Adding to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never received that email. The last email I got was in June that said this: "Your application for MBKU'S School of PA Studies has been received. We are presently in the process of reviewing each applicants qualifications. Due to the high level of applications this cycle, we will not be able to interview every applicant. A review of each application will be made to determine which of the applicants will be invited to come for an interview. We anticipate that we will be back in touch with you by December 2018 to inform you of the results of this process.

Once you submit your CASPA application you should have received an email to log into your portal with the username and password they provided for you. I did not get an email and after two weeks of waiting I emailed and asked when I can pay for the secondary fee (through the portal). They sent me an email a couple of hours later. So if you haven't received an email to pay for the secondary fee I suggest you email them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishaShisha Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Did anyone else see that they're hosting an Open House in October 13th?

biopsyd Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hey everyone. Would anyone be able to clarify their accreditation status? From my understanding, provisional means it's accredited, but still under review to get continued accreditation with the next review being March. I saw that their PANCE pass rates were 100% for all their graduating classes so far, which is impressive. I'm considering applying last minute now, but was hesitant about the accreditation.

Yes if it is provisional you may still take your PANCE and become a PA-C. It’s a great school and has a great track record for a new program. It’s only a problem if a school is doing poor, usually the ARC-PA places programs on probation until their next site visit and if there is continuing problems in the program whether it’s student/faculty ratio , curriculum, PANCE results of previous classes then it loses accreditation. But if they lose accreditation it just means that they cannot admit students. I would be more cautious applying to schools that are currently on probation with an upcoming site visit during this cycle because if you go through all the hoops and they lose accreditation then you lost time and money even if accepted. I would look over the PANCE results to see if it’s worthwhile to even apply. Any program above the national average results of the PANCE is a good indication of how well a program does educating their PA students for the exam, this is a program to choose. I hope this helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMTtoPAC Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 How was the preview day guys?? I really wanted to go but it “sold out” so quickly on the rsvp link. I called to try to get on the list but they said they had about 300 rsvp’s so they were full. Best of luck to everyone this cycle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really nice! Everyone in the program was very involved and you could really tell how much the students loved the school. They don't have an emphasis on GPA and really look at your application as a whole (GPA range started from 2.93 in the last cohort I believe). Students come from a variety of backgrounds. The admissions committee is helpful and responsive. I'm not sure if you had any specific questions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
