Buse1629 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hey guys has anyone heard back from them after submitting their supplemental application? I submitted mine on June 20th and later I just got an email saying they received it but haven't heard back since. I was wondering if anyone has been invited for an interview yet?

IsabelC93 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I agree I haven't heard anything besides a confirmation email that they had received my supplemental application and that it may take about 45 days to hear anything more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buse1629 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I kept sending emails to pa@lynchburg.edu asking about any updates but no one has been responding. Do you guys know if there is an email besides that one I can use to contact them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAlove1995 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Caspa verified on 8/19 and I received my supplemental today. Feeling a little behind since people have been getting interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wasn’t aware that an acceptance into the masters program would also mean a commitment to enroll in the doctor of medical science program (as the interview invite stated.) Does anyone know if that is absolutely a requirement? The email today was the first time I’ve ever even seen that, and I feel like I’ve basically memorized the entire pa program website. Do you know more about this requirement/where I can read more about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know more about this requirement/where I can read more about it? I wasn't aware either! Under the School of PA Medicine tab on their website, there's a tab for Doctor of Medical Science program; however, it doesn't state any obligatory relation between the two degrees. On the other hand, the email does sound like it is a requirement using words like "explicit commitment." I asked a practicing PA and she said maybe the program is trying to compete with doctorate programs for NPs. I think since DMSc is a fairly new program, making it a requirement for PA students would help with enrollment. From my research, it seems like having the DMSc doesn't change how PAs practice.

Curlygirl Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Has anyone heard anything recently? I submitted my supplemental around mid august and received confirmation they had received it on Aug 23. I know they said 45 days usually, but had anyone heard anything sooner?

I submitted my supplemental mid-end of July, got a confirmation on Aug 22 and an interview invite on Aug 29 for Oct 11. No news seems like good news in these situations. Have hope! Best of luck!

Curlygirl Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Just received an invite for the Oct 11th day! Is this the first interview day they’ve offered so far? I was also not aware that it is a requirement to be enrolled in both the doctorate and masters programs. I need to think more clearly about it and do more research.

dottie7 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I received an interview invite as well, however after reading about the required doctorate after the masters, I will likely be turning it down. I have already had interviews at my top 3 schools, and I think it’s ridiculous that they would require this and not mention it anywhere on the website- personally I see it as a waste of my $100+ application, as I have no intention or need to get my doctorate after my masters. I hope for the programs sake they don’t lose more applicants such as myself because of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Unless you’re going into teaching, there is currently no pay difference. If I decide when the time comes I’d like extra training for more money, I’ll just do a residency instead of sending myself further into debt.

I still haven't heard anything from the school and I couldn't find more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
