KaiteKakes Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 1 minute ago, Christian97 said: I applied July 29 and received an email stating my applications were received about a week later. The rule of thumb I’ve heard is to contact the programs if you don’t hear back from them after a month or so unless your application is being reviewed. Sending updates is a good way to reach out the them! Well I received an email that my application was received. But I did not receive an email saying I've been moved onto the "secondary review" or whatever. And I definitely haven't gotten a rejection OR interview. So it's like I'm dead in the water right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting to hear back from the programs is stressful. It’s a long mental game to deal with. In most cases, programs will mention your status if you send them an update email.

jennsPA Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I submitted August 4th and verified August 6th. I got an email stating they received my application and that it was under review on August 12th. I know I submitted late and I just wanted to hear what you guys think my chances are of getting an interview. I know submitting late reduces my chances. I kept holding out for a test date at an actual testing center for the GRE because I didn't like the idea of taking it at home. Turns out I had to just break down and take it at home. I know the odds are probably against me, but I just really really want to get into PA school! This is my first year applying. Degree: Exercise Physiology at FSU (Current: last semester- have to take biochem ugh) Prerequisites: 4.0- Some were taken at a community college that I attended for 2 years to get my A.A CASPA GPA: 3.96 ( I have only ever had one B in my whole life and it was in dual enrollment! I will never forgive myself!) Science GPA: 4.0 GRE: 302 (152 verbal 150 quant 4.5 writing) PCE: ~2,759 hours (1,904 chiropractic assistant, 855 PCA at hospital cardiovascular lab) Volunteer: 77 hours LOR: 2 professors, 1 PA, 1 RN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagevanessa Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Had my interview today and it was a really great experience. The faculty and staff were so nice and the interviewers were very conversational (as opposed to feeling like you’re being interrogated). I felt like they really just wanted to know me. Hopefully going to hear back from them soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orientation day was very informative. The whole day is geared to learning about the program. They give you a tour, talk about the curriculum, financial aid, etc. There’s also a q&a session with current and former students. There’s one group discussion and writing activity, but nothing to stress about! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
