LolaGiwa Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Hi Everyone! I'm excited about beginning this journey towards UC Davis. I noticed a thread hasn't been started yet, so I jumped in and started one to get the applicants talking. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.

Where are you guys from? And do you mind sharing your background story? @LolaGiwa I am from the Twin Cities, Minnesota area. This is my 4th time applying to PA school and my first to UC Davis. I worked as a medical interpreter for many years and in hospital administration. But it's time for me to pivot and work directly with the patients as a provider. I worked for a decade full time and going to school at night to make this transition and I am hoping it will happen for me this year. What's your story? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finntastic Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I have a class that doesn't end until June 23rd. As such I might not have transcripts verified by July 15th. According to the website I can still submit as long as CASPA has the transcript though, right? "An application and materials must have a ”complete” (all materials received and pending verification) or ”verified” application status by the deadline."

I feel as if your transcripts could be verified within that 2 week period. However, to really feel confident, I would call CASPA or the school to see how long it may take for the transcripts to be verified. Goodluck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my initial application process to PA school so I am very excited and nervous to begin the journey. I took a 2 year gap to gain quality experience and I work as a Team Lead MOA at an ENT office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your transcripts have been received by CASPA you'll be fine. Applications need to be complete, but do not need to be verified. I applied last year before the deadline but was not verified until later in July and they still processed my application just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only program in the country where NP and PA study together, what is that like? I also heard that there is a lot of independent study in this program, is this true? What is the percentage you must get on exams before you have to remediate? Did anyone in your class decelerate or leave the program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beata Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 @Caligal How long did it take for you to receive an invitation to complete the supplemental application? My CASPA was verified 5/9 and I haven't heard back yet. Thank you for offering your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligal Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 @Beata UCD does things a bit differently. You should be hearing back for an interview in late September. It’s only after the interview whether admissions will decide to take you to the next step, which would be to submit the supplemental application. You should hear back for the supplemental application in early November! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to take an online English Comp class in order to apply. What is everyone’s background? I am a clinical dietitian in Northern Cali.

June11 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hi everyone!! This is my first application cycle this year and I’m really excited to see where I stand!

E9619 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Does anyone know which months they send out interviews for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreetThePA Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'm planning to submit my application in a couple of weeks. However I have to take one class that doesn't end until the 9th of August. Idk if they will still consider my application for admission because their website says that transcripts should reflect degree conferred by september 30th.
