I’m from Utah! I’ll be interviewing on the 10th also! What’s your background? And are you going to the tour the day before! 

I have a background in pathology and have been working in healthcare for a while (Utah Valley Hospital).  I never thought PA school would be an option for me, but now with UVU so close to home I couldn't wait to jump on board!   Hopefully my experience and enthusiasm serves me well in the interview!  I will be there for the tour on Friday.  It would be great to chat.

How long after everything was completed did you hear back? I am getting anxious even though I just submitted everything very recently. I'm from New York and would love to go to UVU 🙂

My CASPA application was verified on May 14, and I took the CASPer test on that date as well.  I didn't receive a confirmation email from UVU until the end of July because my application was mistakenly disqualified (I didn't receive credit for a prerequisite on my transcripts).  If you haven't heard from them in a couple of weeks, definitely call or email.  They are very pleasant to work with, and actually initiated the call to me to correct the mistake.  Good luck!

That’s amazing! I almost applied for path A! My background is pathology also, but clinical laboratory sciences, molecular biology and genetics. I’ve also been in health care and research for several years

I already spoke with the program because it said I was missing something after submitting it yesterday (but it turns out I wasn't). They responded so quickly and were very pleasant to work with. Now I just have to wait for them to review my application. How long after receiving confirmation did you hear about your status?

Wow!  We have very similar backgrounds.  My undergrad is in clinical laboratory sciences, and I actually am a PathA!

After our conversation on the phone, she emailed me the confirmation letter immediately.  That was right before the first round of interviews.  However, I didn't hear anything from the program until the second round of interviews when I was invited to participate.  I know it is so stressful!  Hang in there!

Hey Farafish260 and JHHay30 (and anyone else coming on the 9th/10th)!  I'm totally up for grabbing a bite after the tour.  It would be really reassuring to go in Saturday morning knowing a few people.  Let's do the tour, and then go grab a J-Dawg and a Coke.  My name is Heidi.

Heidi, that sounds good to me! If anyone else wants to join, I'll see you at the tour or at J-Dawgs. Good luck, people!

I can probably meet up at J-Dawgs for a quick bite, but the hubby has to get to work by 7 and we live in SLC so I can’t stay too long. I’ll have my 2 year old with me also. I’m excited to meet both of you 🙌🏽
