Cgl1821 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The supplemental application is only for accepted students if you were wondering!! I received a confirmation email on 8/15,. Goodluck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtglynn97 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just took my CASPer, hopefully whatever my score is will help with getting offered an interview to EVMS. Fingers crossed! Unsure on how they use the scores in the admissions process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you get your confirmation that your application is complete you won't hear anything most likely until June when they make interview invites.

Holly1483 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi everyone, It says that you need to have a B- or above in all prerequisites. However, you can substitute Biochemistry over Organic Chemistry. I have a C in Organic chemistry, but an A in Biochemistry. Do you all think that would be okay since you can substitute? Thanks and good luck everyone! Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and good luck everyone! Lauren Use the A class as your prerequisite fulfillment. It doesn’t matter if you have a C in a different class. Be prepared to discuss it if they bring it up during the interview. I also have a C in OChem, I have been accepted to several schools this cycle. Trust me, don’t sweat it! Good luck to you.

MegSJ Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hello Everyone, I just wanted to put out a helpful tip. If you haven't completed your CASPA application by now try to do it soon. They can take a couple of weeks to review and complete your application. Last year I submitted early and had it sent back to me for edits. If I hadn't submitted early I wouldn't have made the deadline. Hope this helps someone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualifying GPA was 3.59 cumulative and 3.75(ish) prerequisite GPA. That was based on last 40 hours. My CASPA GPAs were both sub-2.5. Terrible, right? But EVMS rewards reinvention, I will give them that. I also had 15 years/30k + hours as a medic in various settings. Volunteer work, strong LOR, and research. And I got jack squat for all of it. Not even an interview. I was a bit more than angry, still am. I felt like my experience counted for nothing. I swore I would not do this again and would move another direction. But I was hurt and angry, reasonably so. Still, I loved the program and am giving it another go. So here is what I have done differently. 1. Completed a Masters in Medical Science (Biochemistry, Cell Bio, Anatomy w/ cadaver lab, Micro/Virology, Neuroanatomy, etc) with a 3.67 GPA 2. Last 40 GPA = 3.9 and Prerequisite GPA = 3.9 3. More volunteer work with my dog, using him as a therapy dog visiting the children's hospital and hospices. I think I will certainly earn an interview this upcoming cycle. DXU Its definitely an emotional process! Good luck this time! My dog and I just got certified with Therapy Dog International so we can do therapy dog volunteering also. He is a Siberian Husky. I applied to be a team through Sentara but they are full so we applied with the USO and hopefully we can start doing some therapy dog work soon. He is the best dog ever. I know he could really bring some comfort to people so I hope we can get things moving with the USO. What kind of dog do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet guy, very friendly. Usually pretty mellow but stubborn. Training was fun for him. And it is an emotional process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtglynn97 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) How long did it take to receive the confirmation email from EVMS? I have completed and submitted everything but have not gotten a confirmation email yet. Edited January 7, 2020 by futurePA6234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I applied last year I didn't receive an email confirmation from them until after I reached out to verify my application was received. I would probably wait 2 weeks or so to see if they send you something and then maybe email admissions to verify your package is complete.

LalalauraB Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hi everyone! Regarding the two mini essay questions on the supplemental portion on CASPA; should we write two different essays? The two questions are very similar! "What made you decide to select EVMS?" and "Why do you want to attend EVMS? (100 words or less)" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that the 100 words or less one should go into more detail and the other one should be summed up in 2 sentences. Hopefully someone else has a better answer.

mtglynn97 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Did anyone received an email with a personal url link that shows your application checklist and information about EVMS? I was looking at my checklist and saw that they are waiting for 1 more letter of recommendation for my application to be 100% complete. However, on my CASPA I had 3 different people submit a letter and they were all received before I submitted my application to EVMS. Is this any issue for anyone else?

mae2luv Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I am also at 80% on the check list with 1 LOR missing but I have 4 LORs in CASPA...maybe a computer glitch? or maybe they are still working on the personal URL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROSPECTIVEPA22 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Does anyone know if they are sending out e-mails stating your application has been received or only posting it on our personalized URL? My personalized URL states that they have received my application for the program but I'm a little uneasy about that being the only confirmation. I didn't have a great experience last application period so I just want to be sure. Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROSPECTIVEPA22 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Also, has anyone even received a response when filling out the question box on your personalized URL?

I recieved this email in October: “This is a follow-up email letting you know that you have met all application file requirements and are eligible for review by the Application Review Committee. This review process will extend until after the cycle closes and all applicants will receive a decision by June 2020. ” The email includes a checklist of everything I needed (LORs, Casper, prereqs) with “yes” next to them. I don’t know what this url thing is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
