I'm taking my GRE next friday (Currently freaking out !) I'm from Boston and hoping that I can stay local. Anyone here from the northeast??? I am! Just went to the Northeastern open house a few weeks ago! Feel free to DM me if you want to chat about schools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePAS99 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So I just got accepted into one of my top choice schools, and don’t believe everything you read...everyone’s experiences are going to differ and not two people are going to encounter the same situation. In my experience my interviews were EXTREMELY laid back and they just wanted to get to know you. Also I was not a strong applicant. I had under 300 gre, my cumulative gpa was a 3.3, my science gpa was a 3.8. I however did have over 9,000 hours of good quality pce. I was told multiple times not to even apply this cycle because my gre was too low, etc. as long as you make yourself well rounded who cares what others may say! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of people discouraging others because one “stat” of theirs is low. You and I are good examples. 2 Mikes 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be applying to a few programs that require organic chemistry, which I will not be taking until this fall. I emailed the programs and they stated that I can still apply and just make sure to have the classes completed before the summer before I would begin the PA program. I hope that helps! Or if you are unsure, maybe reach out to the programs and see what they suggest! Hey that helps a lot! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipmebabyonemoretime Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I have a question regarding CASPA... I always hear about something like an auto filter or auto rejection. My thing is, is there a way that when caspa opens and i create my account, i will be able to see my caspa calculated GPA or I have to pay the caspa fee? I have everything together but the gpa option, and i am not sure if it is worth it to apply or i will be automatically auto rejected. How do you know if you are auto rejected?

mamprepa Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hello! I am applying this cycle (2019-2020) and was wondering if anyone has any insight on exactly how early is considered early for schools that have rolling admissions. I haven't been able to find specific dates on this topic. Are you in the early window as long as you apply before July? Before June? If I want to apply in May- will it make a difference if I apply now or a week from now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegro Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Generally, any time in May or June is extremely early. The first major deadline (meaning one iwth many programs) is August 1, so July starts getting hairy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniellePowell Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hey guys! This is my 3rd year applying to PA school. I've sent out 14 applications last week. Hoping this is my year as I have finally gotten the patient care hours needed. My GRE score is under 300 ( 292), but I have worked as an MA for 9months now. My GPA is average (3.5) but I also have a ton of community service hours involving 4H and advising kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbpmk399132 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Send out a few more. Apply to non-GRE schools, as well. You will get in. Also Apply to schools where your grades for their prerequisite courses are very high or all A’s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ct0502 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I know ETS says it takes 10-15 days to get the GRE results back but is it likely to get it before that? I took my test last tuesday, 6 days ago, and am so anxious for my AWA results since its my weakest subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peonies Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Any word on how long it's been taking for applications to get verified lately? I'm aware that CASPA says it can take up to 2 weeks. I've seen people say they were verified within a matter of hours this week, but they were reapplicants and I'm guessing the process probably goes a little quicker for them. Just curious! Also; how soon are you all getting supplemental applications in? I've been working on them but holding off until my CASPA apps are verified before I cough up that $$ and submit them.

I submitted my CASPA and all my supplementals this week because they won't look at your CASPA or review your app until they have everything they require in (supplemental, fee, GRE score) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pa321 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 hey everyone! I just submitted last week and my application was verified yesterday! I'm so so so excited but constantly doubting myself. I have a 3.4 overall and a 3.0 science. I worked as a medical scribe for the past two and a half years so have well over 3000k hours. I was also a physical therapy aide for 1 summer and got 128 hours from that. I have about 88 hours shadowing a physician assistant. 3 LORS and a whole bunch of hope. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
