My date for review is also 6/2. I have not heard anything either. My friend who is in the program said no news is good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsalzone Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hi just received an interview for July 24th. For those of you that already interviewed, how was it? Can you provide any details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osakanohime Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I was verified on May 31 and received an email on June 25th stating my application was under review. Anyone else who reviewed an email around that time heard back yet? Edited July 20, 2020 by osakanohime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osakanohime Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'd love to know too. If majority of people are hearing back in 6 weeks rather than 4, then it'll relieve so much pressure lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristinaB Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 @icexmetal @bvarriale I submitted my CASPA 5/30, was verified 6/1, and got the confirmation email 6/2. My stats are: overall GPA: 3.44, science GPA: 3.41, post-bac GPA: 4.0 (30 credit hours) 15,000 hrs experience as a cardiac stress test/ECG technician Church choir member (volunteer) about 500 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khill0523 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Anyone else get their reject email from them and feel deeply disturbed by their approach to passing along the message? I've never seen another program cumulatively label their denied applicants as a "struggling applicant" and suggest they should pursue a less-demanding and competitive path such as radiology tech or NP....or was it just me that got that email? In all seriousness though I feel almost a relief I wasn't accepted, as a program that wants to train compassionate and empathetic PAs you would think that sentiment would begin with their admissions committee, the first department potential students interact with. Says a lot about them. Anyway, I'm curious to know if anyone else noticed that/also thinks was completely out of line, or if I'm totally overreacting. Also in case anyone is curious about my stats: 3.5 GPA 5,000 PCE (ED tech for 1.5 years and through covid, medsurg 1 year) 600 volunteer hours (homeless medical clinic, women's clinic) ~30 shadowing (OR, trauma, ICU) Edited July 21, 2020 by Khill0523 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed their rude tone straight off the bat. Your stats are great, that is a ridiculous thing to say to an applicant. Hope you have better luck with other schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to be a PA - this is a HUGE deal!!! Wondering if you could tell us a bit about the vibe of the interview? Looking through the comments it seems some have been turned off by the tone of emails/admissions counselors. Would love to hear how you felt talking with them!

Would love to hear how you felt talking with them! Absolutely positive experience all around. Staff was super laid back and relaxed, overall very conversational. Have also spoken with several alumni and current students, all have said great things about the staff and how attentive they are to students. The interview all aligned with this, my nerves diminished immediately when the interview started. Super excited to commit to the program!
