DTHAI Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Does anyone know if they accept scribing as PCE? I've tried emailing them and calling them to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them last year about that and they told me that as long as you can prove that it was direct patient contact, then they will accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTprePA Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi everyone, I was told that I do not need an academic reference as long as I state the reason why. Does anyone know where I would include that information in the CASPA application? I have emailed admissions but have not received a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelleeee Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Congrats to everyone who has already submitted!

They even sent interview invites in December during 2018-2019 cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe that by learning relevant information like anatomy together with other fields, you gain different perspectives and learn off each other. Its a great program and everyone is very nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KortneyDaly Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi All. According to the 2019-2020 cycle, SCU is calling individuals for acceptance off the waitlist currently and the school year starts in September. With that said, I doubt we'll hear anything prior to that. @Lee2018 I applied early because my CASPA was complete and I was applying to multiple schools. I fully intend on updating SCU about any changes to my application prior to the January 15th deadline. Wishing you all the best this cycle!

megmer Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 When they say "core science prerequisite GPA" are they referring to the cumulative science GPA in CASPA or the GPA calculated using the courses you assign to their prereqs?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurehuman Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi everyone I submitted about a week ago and received an email stating my application won't be reviewed until I have the required patient care hours. I am a clinical research assistant at a local VA, where in CASPA I logged my experiences in blocks. I would say in my average 40/hr work week I cover about 20/hr research experience, 10 hr patient care experience, 10 hr health care experience. I have been working there for 2 years - which means by January it will be about 1,120 hours of direct patient care with my calculations. Overall in my position it will be about 4,500 hours working in a hospital on this clinical trial focusing on human patients... not sure who I should speak to or if it's worth advocating for? Any advice greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
