sganey Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 For those of you that were accepted, did they mail you a packet with info about the deposit? And is the deposit due 10 days from when they let you know you’re accepted or when you get the info? I was accepted last Wednesday and still haven’t gotten anything about holding my spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the deposit deadline, but I'd call/email to follow up about the folder since it's been a week! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to ask me any questions about the program, didactic year, rotations or even just for general advice! I'll be happy to answer your questions. Good luck to all of you! hey Kristina! I had a question.. while rotating, are there opportunities to utilize Spanish with patients? or an elective of medical Spanish that the program offers? I am really hoping to keep using Spanish moving forward as a PA. Would love some feedback on your opinion about this!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you will have plenty opportunities to utilize Spanish during your rotations! I just had a rotation where we had quite a few only Spanish speaking patients and we had to use translator services to communicate with the patients. Unfortunately, the program does not offer Medical Spanish at the moment but if you are fluent in Spanish and if there is ever a need for translator, I would say let your preceptor know and I'm pretty sure they'll be happy to utilize your Spanish skills.

MelanieA Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hey! I was a late applicant, October 27th. I received a rejection letter dated October 30th. I am wondering if they even read my application. The turnaround was almost more disappointing than the rejection. The school should move up their date, if they aren't taking new applications. Someone is profiting here. My stats were very similar to past accepted students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you apply in the first month you’re only compared to those that far, if you apply in the last month, they have less spots left and you’re compared to way more people. Im sorry! I hope you hear back from other places! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most often (in general, not Marist in particular), when rejections come that fast it is due to applications not meeting minimum requirements. I would comb over your app and Marists' requirements to ensure that you did not miss anything. And it doesn't hurt to reach out and ask why you may have been rejected and what the program is looking for that could have made the difference.

Is it 1-on-1, 1 and a panel, or group? Hey! So unfortunately I can't tell you about the interview process but I can tell you it lasted about 4 hours. It started at 12:30 and ended shortly before 4:45. It includes a faculty presentation with Q&A, building and campus tour, and of course the interview. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I can't tell from the website, what are the class sizes and student to teacher ratios? Also, what do you like best about the program?

effiedoesyoga Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It is sort of difficult to find replies on the platform, so I apologize if I am repeating anything. Does anyone currently go there or is familiar with the area? What is the campus and community like? How is it living there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, effie Hey Effie, I can answer this for you (I recently got accepted). During the interview day, they said that next year's cohort as well as the upcoming cohorts will be a class size of 60. And the teacher to student ratio is I believe 1:10. Although this was my first interview, I really enjoyed being part of a college campus because there was a student center, gyms, and a library all within walking distance of each other. The campus is also really beautiful and overlooks the river, especially during this time of year. I also really liked the donor lab being in the same building and working on the donors in teams of 6 I believe. Lastly, I looked into programs that have a 100% pance rate and even though Marist just graduated their first cohort, they got a 100% and that goes to show the superb education they have and the tools and resources Marist offers for their success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they're aiming to get 60 for the class of 2021. Like aba51 said, the student to faculty ratio is about 1:10. There are many things I love about Marist's program, but what stands out the most is how much the professors want us to succeed. They seriously make themselves and their knowledge accessible constantly, and we can really feel how much they care about all of us. We have a strong sense of community in the PA school in general and it's a wonderful program to be a part of. There is ALWAYS someone to turn to if you feel stressed or overwhelmed Please don't hesitate to ask any other questions! -Annie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
