PAtobe2846 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 As long as you haven't received a rejection letter from them, don't lose hope. Sometimes they take their time to give a response, but that does not mean a rejection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard anything else, maybe a rejection since others already got interviews with similar submission times. 3.96cgpa+3.96sgpa 1,020hrs MA. I got a formal rejection, so hearing nothing is not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SciMed13 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 @Leah37 I'm sorry to hear about the rejection. I saw your stats on the first page and thought WOW you got it going on. Do you have any idea why you may have gotten rejected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only thought is that none of my clinical experience had recognizable titles. Most of it was from a half volunteer half paid clinical research position, so I am guessing they did not accept it?

What was your personal statement about, if you don't mind me asking. I've heard from many resources that the PS is one of the biggest factors besides GPA and requirements of course.

I wrote about growing up in a community with poor access to healthcare, how I decided to become a PA (and why PA specifically), and about my experiences while working in a healthcare setting.

bam7dy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anyone get an interview with outstanding prerequisites? I’m trying to decide if I should apply now or wait until the end of summer when I finish A&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to decide if I should apply now or wait until the end of summer when I finish A&P. I submitted my application on 6/6 and was verified by 6/13. I just got an email for an interview this morning, and I am also currently taking A&P over the summer. My advice is that you definitely apply sooner, even with the outstanding pre-requisites.

I just waited until they contacted me with a date. I wouldn’t be too worried since they’re probably just sorting out the date for everyone. You have the interview request so your interview date should be coming along very soon! Best of luck to you when you do interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
