SLPtoPAC Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Did anyone by chance take a picture of the possible clerkship options we will have access to during the interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrose Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I recall in one of the videos that they sent with the interview acceptance email, they showed the list of all the possible electives. I was going to go back over that this week soon as I had time (likely tomorrow). I'll write them down and post them when I find it. It sounds like for you too it might be decision-time... I applied to two schools and if the other one accepts me too, well, I'll have a real decision on my hands. A good problem to have! Those who are going to pick UNMC over other schools, can you tell me your thoughts on the matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPtoPAC Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Not at all. I’m sold on UNMC. I just wanted to look at the clerkships! I’ll review the video! The culture they cultivate is me to a T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and go through my notes to see if I wrote additional stuff down during the interview part. Can you tell me why you're sold on UNMC? I'm sold that they're a great school, but I may have a tough decision and was hoping to hear what someone else thinks about it more specifically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sold that they're a great school, but I may have a tough decision and was hoping to hear what someone else thinks about it more specifically I have worked there, twice in two different capacities. The non-competitive culture in the PA school is something that appeals to me as we’ve all worked our butts off to get to this point. The opportunities present at one of the foremost hospitals in the country is also very intriguing. I’ve also worked with many PAs who went to UNMC and they were outstanding. Furthermore, attending UNMC means I don’t have to move my family to another city. The cost is also a major factor knowing Omaha is cheap to live in and tuition is extremely cheap compared to other PA programs in the area that I looked at (60k less than Creighton and 20k less than College of Saint Mary.) Finally, saying where you went to PA school really doesn’t matter as long as you pass the PANCE but UNMC’s name carries a lot of weight. Life changing research and treatment goes on here and I want to be a part of it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who are going to pick UNMC over other schools, can you tell me your thoughts on the matter? I am in the same boat. Im leaning more towards UNMC for a couple reasons. -7 elective rotations. For me that is huge. No other school I have seen has offered that. I interviewed at Baylor and they don't even offer electives! -5 year 100% pass rate. speaks for itself -non-competitive culture. Small class size. -1 month dedicated to PANCE prep after clinical rotations -17 week gross anatomy course. non-prosected. I took gross anatomy as an undergrad and some schools offering only 6-9 weeks of instruction seems very rushed and only inserted for face value. -Both the Canadian and US military chose THIS program to instruct their PAs. That says something about the quality of instruction. Hope this helps! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulPA21 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hello! This may be a bit early, but for those who are on the waitlist, has anybody been offered a position/acceptance!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will offer acceptances until after the deadline to accept/decline your position on the waitlist which is December 18th.

I'm guessing they will definitely wait until decisions are due on December 18th but I have no idea what the timeline is . Does anyone know how many people typically get pulled from the waitlist?

Ambrose Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Today I declined the acceptance. It seems to me that anyone on a waitlist is plenty deserving and I hope this spot will make someone's day. I have 0 complaints or critiques of UNMC - they are a great school and a #1 choice for anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alliec2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I also declined my acceptance yesterday. I hope someone gets an acceptance call today and it makes their day! congrats to all who will be attending UNMC, it’s such a great program!

PAUsername24601 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I declined my acceptance today because I was accepted into another school's program. Good luck to everyone who was accepted and those on the waitlist! Do not give up! It took me two years to get in. You can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurepa9910 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I haven't heard anything yet! That would be the ultimate Christmas present but I bet they will wait until after the holidays are over!

HopefulPA21 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I received an acceptance letter via email today and I was on the waitlist!
