RespiratoryGirl Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 To everyone who is applying this cycle how long was your integrative medicine essay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmella Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Mine took up the entire character count. I wanted to make sure my answer was thorough and displayed a complete understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrieldreis Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yeah mine was also the full character count and I even had to get rid of some words to make mine fit. I submitted today, but from things I have read, it does not sound like until December that people hear back on interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviser12 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Does anyone have any insight to SCU's leniency with regards to the 7-year rule for prerequisites? My two general chemistry classes are 7 months and 2 months outside of this window, and I want to know if this would preclude me from consideration. I've emailed the program twice and left a voicemail message, and I've gotten radio silence. A&P was completed within the past year, and I'm otherwise a strong candidate. Would this still be acceptable for consideration? Thanks so much for the help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have to be within 7 years of your application date. Most schools are very strict on this. I had a class that was off by 1 month, and had to retake it in order to apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RespiratoryGirl Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Did anyone receive an email confirmation from them? I submitted my application 7/13 and haven't heard anything back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrieldreis Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have not heard anything from them yet, but I also know from their previous cycle that they did not start letting people know until about January. I have decided that all I can do is be patient and hope for the best when that time comes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nataliet7 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I submitted at the end of June for this application cycle. I applied last cycle and the deadline was January 15 and I got my rejection on Feb 16. This one is a long haul... Good luck to everyone.

adb123 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Does anyone know if they accept combined anatomy and physiology for their prerequisites? Their website states: Human Anatomy* (4 semester units) must include lab, must be Human Anatomy Human Physiology* (4 semester units) must include lab, must be Human Physiology I took A+P 1 and A+P 2, both 4 credit classes, with labs. The "must be Human Anatomy/Physiology" part is throwing me off a bit, I sent them an email but I was just curious if anyone on here knows? Thanks!

Joehawaii Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hi everyone, I am currently completing a Microbiology Pre-req at SCU through their Accelerated Science courses offering and I am enrolled in their Human Physiology (HP) course. Note: they also offer the A&P I and II courses. According to the course description for the HP course, it is “designed primarily for health sciences programs including medicine, physician assistant, chiropractic, dental hygiene, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, sports and leisure studies, and other medical related fields.” The description for the Human Anatomy course similarly focuses on the same program track as HP. The A&P I and II does not address the program track as HP and HA. So I asked fellow pre-PA students in my Micro class who had taken A&P I and II through SCU, would this fulfill the PA pre-reqs and they say yes. They stated that there are current PA students in the SCU program who had taken the 4 unit A&P I and II courses through SCU. Here’s the link to the SCU Accelerated Science courses for you to compare: /www.scuhs.edu/academics/sps/accelerated-science-courses/. By the way, I opted for the HP course because I had already taken the HA course at a Community College. I will be on campus tomorrow, 8/22/18, to take my micro final so if anyone has any more questions from this thread, I will try to relay them to SCU PA admissions and, perhaps, post their response here. I hope that helps. Good luck to everyone applying this cycle. Hope to see you during the interviews in Feb/March 2019. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The response I got from a fellow forum-goer was that they are pretty strict about timeliness of class completion; however, I never heard anything from the school. I would assume that they would not accept classes completed outside the 7-year rule unless you are able to get the okay from the directly.

Is it mmi, group, individual ? Is SCUHS on rolling basis admission and when do applicants typically hear back from SCUHS? thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
