DCP: 2500 hours (would be around 4500 by the time i matriculate) include nursing home, university health center, free clinic, and a large orthopedic practice Leadership: VP of sorority for one year Volunteer hours: 1000+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesumm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Yes, you will have success in getting interviews based solely on those stats. I had similar stats. applied to about the same amount of schools, and have been trying to two years now. Each year, I have received at least three interviews. Rock on!

secondroundbestround Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My stats are very similar. This will be my second year applying, I only applied to 6 schools last year and waited until the deadline to apply (I got denied from all schools and no interviews) cumulative gpa: 3.5 Science gpa: 3.36 GRE: 302, 3 writing LOR: 3 (2 MD, 1 BCHM professor) DCP: 2500 hours pediatric cardiology practice, allergy and sinus center, home health nurse aide Volunteer: 250 hrs+ sexual assault response advocate This year I plan on applying to 14 schools (BU, Duke, Campbell, CSU, Elon, FSU, HPU, JMU, MCPHS (boston campus) MUSC, NE, RFU, WF and Wingate) Best of luck everyone! Can I get some feedback??? Retook the GRE (297----> 302) increased PCE hours and re-did my personal statement making it more me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask the 6 you applied to the first time? Did you reach out to hear feedback? I have heard of some people doing that. I am also applying to JMU, UNE, WF and Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried reaching out initially and didn't get responses. I did go to a PA virtual fair last week and a rep from Elon pulled up my application from last year. She said I'd go up in the pool with the new GRE score but let me know my GPA was still a little low compared to others (UGH!) Other schools that look @ GPA holistically are way better in my opinion. My GPA started low (3.1 and got higher each semester!) Where else are you applying?? Have you finished your PS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really looked into Elon much because I think I saw at first glance that they aren't super holistic when they view applications? I totally agree. I was the same it started off low and then every semester improved! Im also applying to stony brook, University of texas san antonio, uc davis, u of florida, barry university,radford, shenendoah, stony brook, university of tennessee health sciences and northwestern so pretty much all over. and i have a pretty solid draft of it done but it def needs some finishing up. Im graduating this may so I'm still finishing some classes so its been hard to balance the two!! when do you hope to submit your apps by? my goal is memorial day or june 1st.

secondroundbestround Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 That's a good timeline for sure. I plan to have mine submitted by late May... I can't wait for CASPA to open. Good for you for being on top of it esp w all the COVID-19 ish and graduating. A lot of programs at the virtual fair were commenting on how much different the application pool will be with COVID-19. Maybe this will work out in our favor! Message me as the cycle goes on! I wish you luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
