In my exit interview, they told me that 35 out of the 50 people in their current class were pulled from the waitlist. I wasn't told where I am on it either, but it seems like they have to pull from it quite often. Good luck to you! Thank you! I think there were interviews on Dec. 11th so I'm hoping to hear something soon. Good luck to you too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastudent2022 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi! Does anyone have any specific information about the clinical rotations? I know that Salus will provide housing for rotations more than 60 miles away from campus. Do most students travel this far for one or more rotations? Is it possible to have all local rotations near Philadelphia? Also, is it possible to commute to Salus from the city? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its most convenient to have as short of a commute as possible but my boyfriend and I are considering living together to cut down on costs and save money. Any students on here with experience with this or insights? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you suggest or want a rotation further away, they may help set up somewhere for you to live. Most people just get rotations in the Philadelphia area. Also, there are people in our class that live in the city, but it is quite a drive. Some classes are at 8, so if you have a 45 minute drive you might have to leave at 7, but people do it! When it comes to rotations, they can be 50/60 miles from campus, so if you live in the city and your rotation is 50 miles in the opposite direction from campus, it can end up being a very long drive. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC2022 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I am currently on the waitlist and am anxiously hoping for a phone call. As a current first year student is there any advice you would give to someone that will be starting their first year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a current first year student is there any advice you would give to someone that will be starting their first year? Definitely try to take some time before you start to vacation/rest if you can! You get breaks in PA school, but it’s super stressful, so try to enjoy yourself! Don’t worry about studying before the semester starts. If there’s anything you feel really worried about and it’ll make you feel better if you review the material, go ahead, but there’s no need. Everyone comes in with different strengths and weaknesses, that’s what makes the cohort successful as a whole. If you do want to do some reading/studying, do some stuff on studying tactics or something “fun” rather than trying to learn a bunch of material. You’ll learn that once you start classes! Try to spend time with family and friends, especially if the school you choose is far from home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmcjam Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Hey all - I got accepted to Salus way back in July. Amazing school and I really fell in love with it, however I will be giving up my seat if I am able to get into one of the two schools I am waitlisted at simply for proximity sake (15 min walk/drive for those vs 45 min - 1 hr drive during philly rush hour traffic for salus). I'll keep the forum posted! Edited January 28, 2020 by lmcjam typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctpa20 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Jananfan, Are there specific study tactics that you would recommend for certain classes? Also, how does most of the class take notes? Thanks! Looking forward to Salus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of people that benefit from rewriting notes and making charts of information. That doesn’t personally work for me, I like to rewatch the lectures since they are all recorded, I watch them on 1.25 or 1.5 speed to save time, then I study PowerPoint slides. Anatomy I benefited from working with other students. And always quizlets to make sure you know the material closer to the exam. Almost everyone takes notes on their computer. Lots of people use one note, write on the powerpoints, or have a word document for notes. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to decide if an iPad Pro would be helpful in lectures along with my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aer1016 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi, I will be an incoming first year in August. I was wondering if there are any requirements in terms of computers (or iPads) for the PA program. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctpa20 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm wondering if the COVID-19 will push back the August start date for the incoming class. I'd like to put down my first month's rent but am hesitant to do so. I've read the current didactic class is online right now. Can any current students let me know if they will finish the year on time? I also realize there are unknowns involved. Also, I've secured a 2 BR newly renovated apt. at Wyncote House which is within walking distance to Salus. Tentatively scheduled to move in Aug 1. I'm a guy and am looking for a male roommate if possible. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctpa20 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I haven't had any success reaching out in the FB group about a possible male roommate to share a 2 BR at Wyncote House. It's newly renovated, washer/dryer in unit and walking distance to Salus. At this point I'm thinking there may not be too many guys in the incoming class or they don't do FB. If interested please rsvp. I've put the deposit down to secure the apt. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eluch15 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Can the accepted students post their stats? I applied this cycle, but was rejected (no interview). I want to know if there are specific areas of my application that I can improve on for next cycle! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
