alhammock Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hello all! I have already applied to through CASPA this cycle not realizing EVMS doesn’t do rolling admissions. I was hoping to retake a few prerequisites. 1. Does anyone know if they accept online labs? 2. Will they even look at my retaken prerequisites if I have already submitted through CASPA? Thanks!

AnSkY212586 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) @alhammock I would contact both CASPA and EVMS. EVMS will respond well before the deadline and give you details on what to do. if you have any more question please let me know @frankieda.pa Edited October 27, 2020 by AnSkY212586 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fancypants Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Quick question... I emailed EVMS but they haven't responded yet. Is it frowned upon to update your CASPA? I submitted my application in September and would like to update it with by adding my new job and additional PCE hours. Do they consider these updates? I also don't want to make too many updates, so should I wait closer to March before updating it? When I do update CASPA, how does it look to schools? Thank you!

I do not believe it is frowned upon to update CASPA, I would think if it was frowned upon they would not give the option to update after submitting your application. I also think it would not be frowned upon since every school has a different process for going through applications (rolling admissions vs non-rolling) as well as deadlines. I personally updated CASPA after submission and I do not think it hurt me. People get new jobs, shadowing hours, volunteer opportunities, etc. all the time. I don't think it looks one way or another on CASPA. I would think it shows that you updated your application and that is all. I really think it is up to you as to how often you want to update CASPA. If you're applying to multiple schools that have rolling admissions as well as schools that do not, I would keep your application as up to date as possible. In regards to EVMS they do not look at applications until after the March 1st deadline. They also sent an email after submitting the application with a link to a personal URL (PURL). On the PURL there were links to upload new documents. I had to update a transcript this way since I finished a class after the March 1st deadline and I wanted them to see the verified grade. I would assume they are using this again this year. Hope this helps some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to update my experience and PCE hours since I've been working. I didn't get the PURL... which email would that be in? I received the "application received" email 9/4 and don't see the PURL in that. Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This process is daunting and you always want to make sure you're putting your best foot forward. That's why I like this forum, because there are are people that can give advice and help us not overthink! In regards to the PURL, I did not receive an email with the link until January. The link will come in a separate email. I did find this information on their website under admission consult: "Due to the volume of applications we are processing, consultations are not able to be offered on a scheduled basis... For specific questions about an application or clarification about information found in either location, please click this link to obtain a personalized URL (PURL) and be connected to an admissions representative. Applicants that email the PA Program or the Admissions Directors will be directed to connect to an admission representative via their PURL." If you don't want to wait for them to send out the link, it looks like you can click the above link and get your PURL link sent to you; that way you can update on their as well.

Mohmay23 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi, I'm a NJ resident enrolled in a Special Master's Program and am Considering on applying to EVMS. I have a few questions regarding the "Qualifying GPA" and just prerequisites if anyone knows how to interpret that. Would the replacement GPA be calculated based on the last 40 credits taken inclusive of Graduate-level coursework or just Undergrad? Also, can I submit the application with an outstanding prereq? Really appreciate the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnSkY212586 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I believe tht graduate-level course would not be recalculated into the replacement GPA. But I would contact EVMS and ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ucscaly Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I just received my email of completed application and will hear in June. So far away but excited to see the progress! I applied October. The purl link has a application checklist so it’s helpful they added that to see if we need to address anything missing from our application to get it to the review committee Edited December 9, 2020 by Ucscaly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVMS doesn't utilize rolling admissions, the application deadline is March 1st, 2021. They review all applications after March 1st, 2021 and will send out all interview invites in June.

Hello! This is not allowed. EVMS specifies which prerequisites are required for consideration for admission. I’d reference this: https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/health_professions/mpa_program/pdfs/EVMS_MPA_Admissions_Guidebook_2020-2021.pdf as it’s very thorough!

Really appreciate the input. Hello! Qualifying GPA is one of three: 1) cumulative undergrad GPA 2) cumulative graduate GPA if applicable 3) replacement GPA - lost 40 credit hours If your last 40 hours are graduate hours then that counts! They’ll take your highest. All prerequisites must be complete at time of submission.

macprepa Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 On 10/3/2020 at 12:59 PM, Noodlesgirl said: Hey guys I have a question for you all I plan on applying this cycle and I need to retake A&P 1, do you guys think its best to submit my application now or wait until I am done retaking anatomy 1? Also my CASPA application is already verified but with the old grade I have for anatomy1. What is the best advice you guys have for me? Most schools allow you to apply to their program without having all your prerequisites completed at the time of application, but according to MyPAbox, EVMS requires you to have all your pre-reqs completed before applying. I would suggest taking A&P before your application date so you can be sure they average your retake score with your old one--instead of only counting your old grade. Hope this helps!

Gemini Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Did anyone send their CASPer results before they submitted their application? My checklist says complete for everything else, except my CASPer. I'm wondering if should I wait a bit to see if it's updated or reach out? Any help is appreciated!

ElleG Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi @Gemini - yes I submitted my CASPer score well before I submitted my application and mine shows complete. If you it's just been a few days, I would wait a bit, if it's been weeks, perhaps drop a message through PURL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
