Has anyone heard anything like that from current or former students? Like that it doesn't live up to the hype? Thanks Hello!! I know a few students already addressed this; but as a recent Duke grad, I wanted to add my two cents. As far as students being frazzled - super accurate depending on the day (high stakes exams, etc). But I don't think frazzled is the same as miserable. And I think all PA students at every school experience the stress of the exams at some point during didactic year. Regarding the reputation for not being prepared for clinicals is just wrong. Every single site I was at said Duke students are the most prepared compared to other schools. And many say we stand out above med students. I think the reason for this is we have multiple opportunities to be in the hospital and with patients during the first year and many experiences with standardized patients. Also Duke does not accept simply the brightest of the bunch- the students are overwhelming full of rich clinical experiences and backgrounds prior to PA school. The nontraditional student high acceptance is real. And because of that, some of us may have had harder time in classroom than the 4.0 GPA 22 year old, but one nice thing about Duke is the immense resources - like tutors and meeting with study-skills specialists. And the flip side is that clinical year comes more naturally for us, since a lot of us have great experience. With all this being said, it is important to choose the school that is best for you. At the interview, you may or may not click with the school you thought was your number one. And if you get accepted to multiple schools, then trust your gut for the best fit over rankings or other reasons. Best of luck to all - enjoy the journey! 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurenR19 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello All, Congratulations to those who have received interviews. To those who received a rejection, keep your heard up (I have received rejections from a few schools this cycle). My question for those who have heard back: How long after you submitted your supplemental did you get a response? I submitted my supplemental application and received confirmation that my application was complete on September 6th. Thanks in advance!

Jhighlander73 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Did everyone on this forum get an email saying their application was complete? What email did that come from? I was just reading back through everything and realized I never got one. Nothing in spam. CASPA and supplemental completed in May. They reached out to me ( staff assistant for the program) saying one of my LORs didn't fully upload and they needed the last one, but that was fixed the same day in June. I haven't received anything since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Durham, so I'm hoping they'll call me out of the blue and invite me to interview with a day's notice -- I've heard that's often how it happens with local applicants.

futurepa2020letsgo Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Does anyone know how many interview dates this program has left? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenR19 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 This is from their email after submission and verification of completion. “During peak application time, it could take at least 6 weeks to hear from us. Please DO NOT call for a status check. Candidates will be notified about interview decisions beginning in August through late October. Due to the large number of applicants, we ask that you refrain from contacting the Program unless you have not heard from us by December 15.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
