Sporty6722 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 So I am applying right now and certainly want to get my CASPA application in as soon as possible. Will getting it in by the end of June ensure that I have better chances? Just waiting on letters of recommendation to come in. Plus, this is the school I really want to get into. Did any of you guys report GRE scores for other schools and apply to schools that don't require them. I know Touro and LLU especially don't require it, but are they still going to look at the scores on the CASPA application you think? I am just worried because my scores aren't the best and am not sure how much emphasis schools like Duke, UF, USC, and Cornell put on them. Especially, when I have tons of shadowing experience, have worked for almost 2 years full time as an EMT and phlebotomist, have also taken a medical assistant class, lots of volunteer hours, and very good grades. I am just scared that I am not going to get in anywhere or am maybe wasting my time applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mausilio Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just go for it! I got in with similar stats. I don't think I included my GRE scores only because none of my CASPA schools required it. Touro might see it if you have to put it down for other schools but I doubt they pay much attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkunic Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I received my secondary application the end of July. Does anyone know when they begin inviting for interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackeric88 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wouldnt worry about your gre scores if your applying to a school that doesnt require them. a lot of schools use a scoring system to rate candidates and if they dont require the gre there wont be any points added or subtracted. its sounds like your an overall strong candidate even if your gre score is low. PA schools look at your entire package. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlessartemis Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I just received my secondary 2 days ago. Does everyone else have a 30 day limit to do the 4 essays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes. They gave me 30 days as well. Some schools give you only 2 weeks. Good thing touro was more generous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaK13 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Did anyone submit their supplemental and hear back yet? I submitted mine today and was just wondering what their time frame for interview invites (or rejections) seems to be. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I submitted mine on August 15th, only thing I've gotten since then is a confirmation of receipt, sent the day after I submitted my supplemental. It looks like last year they sent out interview invites around October, so we've got one more month to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAgirl22 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Do any of you know who I would have to contact to ask whether I am eligible for a supplemental? or did you just receive via e-mail? I heard that there is someone you can e-mail to ask but I can't find it on the site anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Do any of you know who I would have to contact to ask whether I am eligible for a supplemental? or did you just receive via e-mail? I heard that there is someone you can e-mail to ask but I can't find it on the site anywhere You will receive an email inviting you to complete the supplemental then you'll get 30 days from the time you get the email to submit.

bandito7 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 My CASPA was mailed 8/17 and I have yet to hear back. Do they send any kind of confirmation before being offered a supplemental or is that the first time they contact you at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I didn't get any confirmation but mine was sent in July. I got the supplemental invite the 1st or 2nd week of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandito7 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks laifalove, I'll keep an eye for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Another thing to note, I think that first week of August they sent out the supplemental invites was the first batch, because I received an email saying they had just fixed the payment system so that it's now working immediately before I received the supplemental invite. So while it took about 2-3 weeks for them to send me something after my CAPSA was verified, it might be a different time frame for you... I submitted my supplemental somewhere around August 15th and haven't heard anything since besides the confirmation that they've received my application.
