I just popped into Alli’s office to check up on things for y’all. She said they are noticing an issue with letters not being delivered, so if you have not yet received anything, email her and tell her so. 

 

Waitlisters, keep your heads up! I don’t know if they are pulling from the list yet but she said they’ve called waitlisters in December before!

Information on financial aid can be found here: https://gardner-webb.edu/academic-programs-and-resources/colleges-and-schools/health-sciences/schools-and-departments/physician-assistant-studies/admissions/financial-aid/index

A lot of students have the direct unsubsidized stafford loan on top of the direct plus grad loan, all offered through FAFSA. Discover offers student loans as well (I have one and the process of getting it was very quick and easy). 

I also would like to remind everybody to keep their admission decisions to themselves since it can be a sensitive topic for others. The seats of the 2022 cohort are still shifting (and will continue to do so) as people finalize their academic decisions.

Lastly, for anybody who's disappointed because they did not get an acceptance this year, do NOT be discouraged. You are not alone. PA school is VERY hard to get accepted to - the vast majority of my cohort did not come here fresh out of undergrad. I applied my first year, was denied, and subsequently used that time to get more healthcare experience. In retrospect, I would have been at a BIG disadvantage if I had gotten accepted prior to working as long as I did in the field. Many of my classmates here have a lot of experience and that experience lends itself to a better performance overall. One of my class's students applied for PA school at least 3 times. He worked in the meantime and now, he is one of the most "natural" one of us during standardized patients, skills evaluations, etc..

All this to say, do not let this be a stumbling block for you. l encourage you to use this extra time to gain experience, network with potential future career leads, and save up money for your time during school. Best of luck and please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like advice or anything!
