2019-2020 Application Cycle

[PAmyhope 2]

I was verified by Caspa on july 11th and since then I haven't hear anything from UTMB. How do we find the supplemental? Do we fill it out through mystar email or I have to request it?

Hi everyone! I just logged into my Mystar account and noticed my application is no longer active on there. Anyone else having this same issue?

I just emailed them. I’ll update you guys!

[Benolda 21]

Same. I'm hoping it just means it's already been completed and reviewed.

I am having the same problem too! Hopefully our application status pops up. I will call on Monday as well!

I have not taken Med Term yet but I read on their website that prereqs do not have to be completed until the year of matriculation. How do I denote this on CASPA?

Just called, they said that they updated the systems over the weekend and this is a glitch from that update that they're fixing. the man I talked to said the department is going through CASPA right now and hasn't gotten to My Star yet! He said that there is still an application on their end, it is just an issue with us (applicants) seeing the status on the portal. Hope that clears some things up for people!

I just got an email stating, "

Your application is now in the Physician Assistant Studies Department for Review.  Please allow several weeks to months for the review process.

Thank you for your interest in our program"  Am I late to the party?

Do y'all think it's too late for me to apply? I thought I had given up on being a PA and geared myself towards nursing, but I feel like I should apply one more time. Last year I interviewed with UTMB and got waitlisted. Not getting in and the idea of having to wait an entire year really took a toll on my mental health which is why I started applying to nursing schools. Turns out a lot of them didn't like the pre reqs I had and didn't count some of them, so getting in has been harder than I thought. 

I recently realized that I should apply to PA school again. I know it is much better to apply really early, so I'm wondering if you guys think I even have a chance submitting this late? I will have all my letters of rec and everything completed by about August 20th which is when I'm planning on submitting. I should be verified pretty much instantly because CASPA already has all my transcripts in their system and nothing has changed since last year. I have been working as a CNA since I applied last and gained a ton of more PCE. 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Any interview invites yet?

Current student at UTMB. I applied late august/early September. Was offered an interview mid November, two weeks out. Don't think it is too late. But you got to prove and show that you have been making an effort to improve your resume. That includes grades, PCE, and volunteer.

Hi guys! Do we have to do anything with the MyStar account besides to log in and check our status?

Nope. I'm a re-applicant, and that's all it was used for in the past as well. 

[futurePA56 14]

I received the MyStar credentials 8/15 but I have not received the under review email. How long does it usually take?

I also received the MyStar 8/15! Looking back at old threads, I saw some people got their under review email as soon as 5 days after MyStar access, some going close to 2 months, and some never got them (and still got interviews). Hopefully we get ours soon because the waiting is brutal!
