HopefulNpositive Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Casper was straightforward, I agree with everyone. So weird that we won't ever receive our score, though! I am super jealous that you all get to submit, I still have to wait another month for Spring term to end and to send updated transcripts, etc. That being said, with everything that is going on, I have also found myself being a lot more patient, and, if I don't get in this cycle, I will just better myself for next year! Hard for me to get to that kind of thinking because I am HUGE on planning, but I'm putting less pressure on myself and a timeline to actually get into PA school. Good luck all! Looking forward to getting to follow your journeys on this forum over the next several months! Just think.... some of the people in here will be accepted to this program in just a few months!! Crazy!Good luck to you as well! Planning is always a plus! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffb13 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yay! Excited to find this thread! Has anyone who has submitted their application been verified yet? Curious how long things are taking this early in the cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgoalgetter Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hello all! Glad I too found this thread. For those of you who submitted already, did you wait until all transcripts were received? I have all my LORs in, but the transcripts that were not electronic and sent by mail are taking a while. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks From what I understand it doesn’t really matter either way. If you send it in before your transcripts are received they will just keep it until transcripts arrive before verification. So essentially it will take the same amount of time whether you submit with or without your transcripts because they won’t do anything until all transcripts are in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulNpositive Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 ok so it says after application sent, is it a must applicant has to take casper to apply to yale? those of you with experience pls answer. tnxYale’s website stated that they strongly encouraged. I took the CASPer test on May 7th. I think that it was a very straightforward test. You can also assess the practice test on the CASPer website itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulNpositive Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 did you have to study for it or you just took it? how much you paid?I just use the practice test provided on the Casper website and I felt that it was a very simple test. I paid $37 total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just take it at home and it’s not really anything you could study for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just received an email from YALE online Pa stating they received my application and are reviewing to ensure I have everything. Anyone else submitted an application yet? Congrats!! One step closer! Is your application verified yet? What day did you actually submit your app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffb13 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Just got notified that my application has been verified! I got an email from Yale saying they received my complete application and will be reviewing it. Does anyone know from past years how people were invited to interview? Was it by email or a phone call? And how quickly did that happen? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA9987 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 By looking at last year's posts, it looks like it's by email and it seems to happen pretty quickly after the cycle opens....so I would say those of us that have already applied should hear very soon. Take a look at those posts... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked for the Letters at the beginning on April so maybe that helped. Don’t feel bad about reminding them though! One of my writers also had an issue creating an account which I wouldn’t have known had I not followed up, so definitely feel free to stay in touch with them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itseatingmealive Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hey guys,I submitted my application yesterday for the priority deadline but 2 of my transcripts still haven’t been received by CASPA (I requested they be sent in the beginning of the cycle) — should I be concerned that my app won’t meet the priority deadline... Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePA9987 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I would say you’re fine then. Still 3 weeks until the June 1 deadline. Just keep a close eye on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffb13 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 So far the verification process has taken just 1-2 days so I am sure you guys have plenty of time to make the priority deadline! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
