If I have one last outstanding prerequisite that will be completed by the end of the summer, do I send an updated transcript to CASPA and you guys can tell I completed it even though CASPA wont verify it?

Lpgators Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone my application is strong the only thing lacking is my GRE score of a 301.. 152verbal and 149quant. Chances of getting an interview? I don’t do well on standardized tests! Edited July 26, 2020 by Leylapat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopemreese Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I was checking my Eagle account and it said they don't have my GRE score even though CASPA says they received it. Anyone else have this problem? Also, do we need to send transcripts to FGCU now or just through CASPA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgDirector Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 GRE scores only need to be sent through CASPA. You do not need to send a second copy to FGCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's great to know! I thought online it said to sent to the school. Thanks. I submitted my CASPA yesterday, but for some reason I cannot open the FGCU graduate application. Do I have to wait to receive instructions from FGCU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbacon25 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm so sorry for the repeat question, but I just want to be certain that I'm not missing anything. My Eagle account still states that I need to send transcripts and GRE scores. I know GRE scores will be viewed on CASPA, but I wanted to confirm that I don't need to send extra transcripts directly to the program?

I know that every other program I’ve applied to have requested my official GRE score because what you put into CASPA isn’t official. I also got an email on the 21st saying that the program has received and reviewed me application and that it met all the program requirements and it would be forwarded for the faculty screening process.

Nkpa20 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Can Progdirector shed some light on the LOR requirement requiring one be a PA. Im having immense difficulty making contacts with PAs in this health crisis. The few that have responded or I been recommended to, state that the health care systems they are employed by refuse to allow shadows or visitation of any kind. I have an MD, NP, and paramedic all of who Iv worked with but emailing a random PA seems to defeat the purpose of the LOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgDirector Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 The Admission Committee believes to be successful in a PA Program, applicants must have a good overall experience and understanding of the physician assistant profession. The best way to have exposure to the profession is through shadowing and mentoring of a PA-C. For this reason, the programs feels strongly that all applicants submit a letter of recommendation from a PA-C. We understand and sympathize with the challenges of COVID-19 for applicants. However, the PA program is not changing our admission requirements for this CASPA cycle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
