arielnberry Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hey everybody, I just figured I would create a thread for this year's application cycle since CASPA is opening soon! I am a current student at South and I have loved everything about it so far. Good luck to all of you who are applying this year and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elombard Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hello! And thank you for starting a thread! I just wanted to ask if you had any insight as to how much emphasis South places on the GRE. I scored a 297 and would consider it the weakest part of my app, so I'm worried that if I apply they won't really look at it. Thanks!

I will be applying this cycle and I was wondering if you have had any opportunities to work with underserved populations and if so, what were those opportunities? Thanks so much!

I took a practice GRE and only got a 300, so I've kept pushing it back until I'm done with this semester. Applying here and Nova in Jacksonville in June probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to submit by the end of the month. I live in Georgia so I sent them an email asking about visiting the campus soon. Does anyone know if they have a recent information session somewhere online? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, there is no minimum GRE score required but they do prefer applicants with scores in the 50th percentile or above. South does a really amazing job at considering each applicant as a whole & not just focusing on stats! I hope that is at least a little helpful! Best of luck to you!

Thanks so much! I started in January, so I haven’t been in the program for too long. We’ve also been entirely virtual since mid March & we don’t really know when we are going back at this point. Soooo unfortunately, that means opportunities are kind of at a minimum for right now. That was basically a long answer for no I haven’t lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdebar Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Just submitted my application a few days ago! This will be my third cycle, and I'm still sitting on waitlists at schools from last cycle. Wishing everyone the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNat97 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hey guys, does anyone know how strict South is on BCP GPA? I know on their website, it states that applicants "Should" have atleast a 3.0. I'm asking because my sGPA is pretty low and my BCP is worse. I feel like my PCE and other stats should help contrast my lower GPA. Still...I'm hoping my lower BCP GPA won't disqualify my application immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenna123456789 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hi all, for those who have applied, were any of your GRE percentiles below their recommended 50th? I am above the 50% in two of the three sections. I know it is more of a recommendation versus a requirement but just wondering if it would be worth it to apply....

I got three interviews last cycle with an average gpa and average GRE. Most schools only care if you get a 300 or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK203 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Congrats to all those with an interview! I'm keeping my fingers crossed my last LOR is submitted this week so I can finally submit! I thought I was doing okay on time, but with interview requests going out I'm getting anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
