mkhat12 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hey guys! I noticed there wasn't a topic started for this upcoming cycle. Good luck to everyone applying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailHoldst Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Hey there, I was wondering if I could apply to the program with my bachelors in progress? All of my pre reqs are completed and my pre req GPA is 3.8! I'll be done with my bachelors 12/2019! Thanks Also I noticed in the forum from the 2018-2019 cycle people were posting their GRE scores, but CASPA states (as well as the WMU PA site) that it's not required. Is this new? Was it required last year? Edited June 26, 2019 by GailHoldst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaboratoryGeek Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 WMU received all my documents May 16th, 2019 and sent me an email June 4th 2019 stating I have all prereqs and they will review the CASPA and Supplemental application. It is NOW July 18th, 2019 and I have not heard anything back yet.

Jakcami22 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Does Western want our transcripts sent to them, or just CASPA? Edited August 9, 2019 by isaaca1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacharle Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi everyone! I came across this event that will take place on 9/28/19 in Michigan and I wanted to share the link. WMU will be one of the programs in attendance (among a few other local ones)! It could be a GREAT way to get your questions answered, or find out how you can improve your application for future cycles (if it should come to that), and network with other pre-PAs, PA-S, and PA-Cs in the area. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/thepac-takes-detroit-tickets-70091765357 Best of luck to everyone this cycle!

I just mentioned that I was getting married the same day. Originally I was invited to interview on 9/13 but they asked me if I would switch to another day because of my wedding being the same day. I’m sure if you just email them they will be understanding. Good luck!! And congrats as well on your invitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as preparing goes...I bought a book called 'Physician Assistant Interview Guide' by Savanah Perry of The PA Platform. The book has a ton of good info and goes over different interview styles and possible questions and how to answer them. It was a huge help. I also scheduled myself a mock interview on www.thepaplatform.com They are all practicing PA's and have experience working with admission boards. Hope this helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
