PAgirl614 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi Everyone! I was CASPA verified on 5/28 and heard back today 7/08 that I have been waitlisted for an interview. I am wondering if anyone has any insight on likelihoods/stats that I receive an interview. I saw someone replied that they declined their interview so that is good news for those waitlisted. I am optimistic that this is better than a flat out rejection but I am trying not to get my hopes up! I am also unsure how many are interviewed versus waitlisted. Glad to hear interview went well and some people have been offered already! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malik144 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hey guys I’ll post my stats in a bit, felt a little weird about it because they weren’t amazing (especially not amazing). But hoping it might help you guys see a picture of what they could be looking for (Im not really sure either tbh). Blessed and feel really lucky to have gotten an acceptance but also I’m a 2nd time applicant so it was definite trial and error. If anyone had any questions (not that I know a lot lol). Feel free to message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centala1 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I interviewed on June 21st and was put on the alternate acceptance list. Is anyone familiar with how that list works? How do they decide who is offered a seat first if and when one becomes available? Is there rankings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they hosted about 6-7 interviews through January 2020, once they were done hosting interviews they ranked the alternate list (sometime in January) but they do not tell you where you are on the alternate list. If you call them they give you an approximate location (ie: top 10 or top 20). You will then receive a call or email if you are pulled off the alternate list which usually begins in February. Last year, they did tell me how many seats were still open in the class, and an approximate location so I was able to guess at whether or not I'd receive a call. I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on here someone emailed over 2 weeks ago and they said "1-2 weeks" which is what concerns me the most. Maybe no news is good news? I'll probably give it until the end of this week and follow up then. It is still pretty early in the cycle! Best of luck to you and I'll update here if I hear anything back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokpac Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have been reading about how some people already go accepted. I received an email for interview invitation for July 12, but I could not go since I am an active duty military service member and currently stationed in foreign country. I pushed my interview date to September 13, because I will be in state-side during that time. When I asked them, they told me that pushing my interview dates will not affect my chance of getting into the school. However, now that I am reading about these post, it got me worried. Should I be worried? Anybody have any knowledge of pushing the interview dates back will lower my chance of getting in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waiting game is atrocious Hi Everyone- I was completely submitted on 5/25 and sent them an email on 6/20 inquiring about my status, to which admissions said to wait another 2-4 weeks. So as of tomorrow, it will officially be another 4 weeks that I have not heard anything. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to wait until Friday and then reach out to them. I will update what I hear from them! Stay positive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpAndComingPA Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I can hopefully give a few of you relief that your application is taking so long. I was verified 6/20 - much after you guys, and I just got placed on the interview waitlist. Frankly, at least in my opinion, I don't feel that is much better than a rejection. It's different to be offered an interview and then be on the alternate list for admission. So, point being, if they spent that much time reviewing your application, I'm assuming you got some real potential for an interview. So, I wouldn't lose hope.

Sammm Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I was just interview waitlisted as well. Verified 6/19. Disappointed because it looks like not many, if any, people get pulled from this pool. Good luck to everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process of applying is brutal and it's so tough when we get answers like this! Thank you for the hope! Stay hopeful, I'm sure you'll make a great PA no matter what school you attend!

Thank you for this info and im sorry you didnt get the response you were hoping for, but I read the forum from last year and people got pulled off the waitlist to interview, so dont lose hope!! Also just by your response to the rest of us alone, you seem like a very mature person who will be successful as a PA no matter what program you go to. Hang in there! (And also I could get an email from them shortly being flat out rejected haha so who knows what anything means) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpAndComingPA Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi guys, Thanks so much for all the kind words! I just know you all will become fantastic providers cause of that demonstrated empathy. So, I really hope you all get interviews. And you guys are right. Until you hear that official rejection, there is still a chance. Just gotta keep pushing forward! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nprice8 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hey guys, Not sure if anyone has heard anything back yet, but I just got a confirmation email yesterday from Rush saying they received my verified application and that it is under review. It says to expect some response back within 3 weeks. I submitted caspa app on 7/9 and was verified on 7/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
