We should know by mid-end of December. No later than Dec 31st. They will only start to check the secondary application after 1st December? Is it any benefit to apply early?

I believe they evaluate them all after the deadline and then make decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliyahBell Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 At the end of our interview someone asked would It be beneficial to apply early the staff member said It will neither harm or help you because they start reading them December first in no particular order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomOpera Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Did anyone actually get rejected after the interview or did everyone just receive the supplemental? I will never understand why schools ask us to complete a CASPA application if they're gonna ask for such a large fee for just a supplemental application. But best of luck to everyone doing the supplemental! I was offered the supplemental but luckily got accepted into a more affordable program closer to home and will be withdrawing my application. I hope this gives others a better chance of a spot! Edited November 24, 2020 by PhantomOpera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did confirm they got my secondary app. But it did also say they are highly interested in me attending their program. Again, idk if that's generic. Don't want to get my hopes up. Back to waiting. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email starts with it was a pleasure meeting you at the interview. It then says after my interview and reviewing my application, I have the potential to be a great addition to their program and that my application was viewed upon highly by the admissions committee. Then, it says this "Although formal offers are not sent until mid-December, we want you to know that we are very interested in having you attend our program." Then it ends with they have received my secondary app and that they'll be in touch mid-December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t submitted my secondary yet but seems like they are hinting that you will get an offer. Maybe for you to keep in mind in case you get other offers from different schools? I’ve haven’t heard of anyone getting a personal email from past years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the programs I interviewed at, they are my top choice, so I'm definitely thinking of them too! lol I honestly thought everyone got this email like all the previous ones. This is my 3rd cycle applying. Lord knows I've been working hard, continuously for this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this being your 3rd cycle applying I'm sure it hasn't been easy and it's hard to get discouraged, but sounds like you're doing all the right stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helliott Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I also received an email yesterday from Dr Pearl and Thetford, and also thought it was just a generic letter that went to everyone. It started out like yours did, however at the end it encouraged/reminded me to submit the secondary application by the 1st. That is why I thought it went to everyone as a reminder to get our secondary applications submitted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmram Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Im sure anyone who received those personal emails are amazing applicants but I kinda which they didn’t do that because it is making me feel like what’s the point of turning it in my secondary when it doesn’t seem like they are interested in me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still going to submit my secondary and pray for the best! Congrats to everyone receiving those emails. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloresPA Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 For those who turned in secondaries, did you all received an email saying that your application is not complete until transcripts are turned in? Although the directions said that they will get that from CASPA. Just want to make sure! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biopsyd Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Definitely stay positive. Remember there are like 50+ seats available. Maybe just a few really stood out during the interview. But those other spots still need to be filled. Write an excellent diversity statement. Don’t give up so easily. If they weren’t interested in you, you would have not received interview or secondary app invitations. Look at how far you’ve come. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June11 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hey guys! First year PA student here! I like to check up on this thread every once in awhile to see how you all are doing! I know I was very anxious this time last year. I saw some posts about an email kind of extending offers...I’ve never heard of such a thing during my year from anyone. It may be a new thing due to covid or those who got them in my class and the years before were silent about them. I’m not sure but please do not get discouraged if you did not receive one. Not only do a lot of people get accepted, but a lot of people drop their offers in the months leading up to the program. I know of people who got accepted in the two weeks before we started. DO NOT LOSE HOPE. Kill your supplementals. Due to a lot of people receiving them, they are very important! I’m here if you have any questions! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
