maddielyman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Wow! You all have very cool experiences! I was going to quote everyone, but I didn't want to make my post excessively long. I worked at long term care facilities for 2 years as a CNA but started a new job in October at a residential treatment program for troubled boys as the medical coordinator under the NP. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audmichelle Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 to the people that have gotten interviews already. did yall get the invite before or after you took your casper exam? I didn't know if they waited until they got the scores or what not before they handed out interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine after I took the casper test but I took the Casper test on May 7 so I took that before my application was even verified. But some other people got an interview invite without their casper being done yet. I don’t think that it affects the interview invite but I think that they said last cohort they didn’t put out an acceptance until the Casper was done but I’m not sure about that for this year either. Since it is recommended but not mandatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is recommended but not mandatory okay thank you! I submitted my app yesterday, verified this morning, and then got an email from Yale a little after saying that my application is under review. I took my casper test today. how long did it take from your application being under review by Yale before you got the interview invite?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm A Certified Surgical Technologist and I do Dermatology, Plastics, and OBGYN #knowyourfutureteammates Fellow CST here too!! I work in a trauma hospital so I take call for everything from hearts to broken bones to ruptured eyes to GSWs but during my regular work shift I specialize in ortho spine and neuro. So fusions and cranis all week with a mixed bag in the nights and weekends. I don't do a lot of plastics but a new surgeon just started at our hospital who is a cranial facial spastics surgeon and he's "selected" me to tech for him so I think I'll be learning a lot more about BSSOs and Le Forts. I'm in the Austin, TX area which has no PA school and my husband's job is here along with both our families who are the child care for us so Yale's online program is my only bet for PA school. I had this dream of being a PA but never thought I could due to school locations but when I found this program it opened the door for me. I'm so excited to "meet" you guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so awesome, I love trauma surgery (Obviously not for the patient haha) It’s really nice to be connecting with potentially future classmates. Especially so many parents!

Mimi2019 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hello everyone! I have a question about the program essays in caspa. Did everyone utilize all the characters allowed? For one of the questions I am struggling at reaching the character limit. I don't want to write too little but also don't want to be repetitive, any advice? Also, congrats to everyone who has submitted, you all are awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personal essay I sure did but not all the others. I didn’t want it to be full of fluff or seemed forced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average, I used about 500 characters less than the max. I agree with @Krystalized, once I had said what I wanted to say, I didn't want to fluff it up just to give them more to read. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
