I only received an email that said “Application Status Update.” My acceptance letter was on the application portal. I didn’t get a packet in the mail yet.

I waited about a week and a half and emailed my advisor cause I hadn't received the packet in the mail and he said that since they were all working remotely from home due to COVID-19, they were not able to mail out packages. So I don't think we will be getting it at all but the paperwork they would have sent us should be available online! Congrats fellow classmate!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taysimon Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Does anyone know if there is financial assistance for the seat deposit for accepted students? Due to COVID I am low on funds. Who should I contact with these questions? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who is in the program has told me that people have been accepted even 1-2 weeks into the program. Just be ready, but also. Start preparing yourself to apply for another cycle. I was already putting my ducks in a row to prepare for another try. Yes, don't lose hope, but be practical about things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty90604 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) An applicant mentioned to me they confirmed acceptance, placed 50% deposit, then Western just told him offer was rescinded before made remaining 50% deposit by the 4/17 stated deadline and gave his seat away. Anyone have any insight on this? Edited April 14, 2020 by Shorty90604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took note that you mentioned you're a "current" PA student at Western. Quick question: I'm aware that lectures are being conducted remotely, but how on planet Earth are labs being performed via Zoom? I'm concerned that the quality of learning will be sapped if students are deprived of the "hands-on-learning aspect" of PA school, such as learning how to suture!!

JanetS13 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Congrats on the acceptance! I found this on the their website: "Question 5: Can I defer to the next entering class if I am unable to matriculate as originally planned? No, the program does not allow candidates to defer. If you are unable to matriculate in the fall as originally planned you must withdraw and re-apply for the next entering class. Due to COVID-19, deferments will be considered on a case-by-case basis only after the candidate has accepted the offer of acceptance and paid the full $1,000 tuition deposit. An additional deposit of $500 will be required in the Spring to confirm intent prior to the Fall term in which matriculation will occur." https://prospective.westernu.edu/health-sciences/mspa/faqs/ Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With COVID-19 happening, the thought of a whole 1 semester being online while only having 1 didactic year seems really unsettling. What about clinical skills? Or labs? The fact that we only have one year to learn in a classroom... and almost half of it is already spent online.... seems unfair for us to pay the same amount of tuition. I agree but my concern is a bit greater. My cousin is in PA school in Miami, FL and supposed to graduate this summer of 2020. However, due to COVID-19 her class had to postpone classes and clinicals and we’re doing everything online. They are now being told that they cannot graduate because they have not met certain criterias. This pandemic is nobody’s fault!!! They should have come up with a plan for this situation I get scared something like this will happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any response is deeply obliged Hello, sorry about such a late response. When talking about our class we only missed a few skills that will be made up. We are expected to make these in person skills labs with full days on campus (once it is allowed) but most likely a small number of us at a time. For the new class - they are starting courses via zoom but will be attending skills labs 1-2 times a month (also probably with a small number at a time). western is taking CDC guidelines and recommendations of opening and are doing this by phases. As time goes by, until campus is fully back on campus. Hope that helps. Zoom classes are different, for some its tougher for others they dont mind the online curriculum. BUT we are all future PAs so flexibility and adaptability are characteristics we all hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
