TheFatMan Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Current student here. Congrats to those who were accepted! It sounds like this was a very impressive applicant pool - if you didn't get in please don't feel bad. It was mentioned that some students had near perfect scores and were still not offered a seat - so don't give up! Re: online courses We've been online for 99% of what we have done and I don't feel we have missed out on too much to be honest (including anatomy). They are working on what the schedule is going to be like, but I would plan on being on campus at least a little bit. The faculty is very upfront about any changes and I'm sure you'll find out as soon as things are figured out. Your cohort will likely get to spend a great deal more time on campus than mine. Please if you have any questions feel free to reach out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if, and how soon, us DE students will need to line up housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the faculty are advocating for at least one course to be on campus. This is one thing that I'm sure you'll find out about at the same time as us. But, like I said, I would plan on being on campus at least a little bit. Sorry that isn't very helpful - this one is probably best answered by Erin.

I haven't wanted to bombard Erin too much this week. I've asked earlier in the process also so I don't want to keep asking. Ha ha. Just the planner in me really wants to have my plan secure. Ha ha.

Maybe give it a few days but I'm sure she won't mind. She really loves answering questions - but I would be surprised if she could give you a definitive answer at this time.

ALF1996 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I am a current MPH dual degree student at UWSMPH who will be starting the PA program in May 2021. Here is the facebook group some of us already put together. Feel free to request to follow!! Admitted campus, distance, and dual degree students are invited! Last year's cohort used this group to create connections, find housing, and more! https://www.facebook.com/groups/439489053847522/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please if you have any questions feel free to reach out. I got rejected back in December but I thought I didn't really care because I got multiple interviews and a few acceptances but for some reason this post made me feel better about not getting in. Seems like this applicant cycle (and this has applied to a lot of schools) was a lot more competitive than previous years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wltaylor Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Congrats everyone! I am hoping to reapply this upcoming cycle and hopefully hear news.

One can only hope. congrats to everyone and good luck to those who wish to apply this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slegeer2015 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi everyone! I got accepted off the waitlist for the PA/MPH program but decided to go with another program I was already fairly committed to. Super tough decision as this was my top choice program! So don't give up hope in joining this amazing program for anyone who is still waitlisted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA12311 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hi all! Congrats to all that got accepted. Does any one have pointers/ tips on how to best prepare for the interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
