curlymk Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My GRE scores were sent Aug 15th and everything else in my app was sent in the first mailing thru CASPA. Should I be concerned that I haven't heard anything yet? Cathleen said she would forward everything on August 15th to the committee. How long did it take everyone else to get a phone call after their stuff was recieved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 At this point they've only completed one interview session. I know of people invited to the next two sessions but I don't think that they have yet "filled" either of them. There are a total of six sessions. Since your application was verified before Sep 1 you will be given priority. At this point there are probably close to 1000 applications to be reviewed so it is neither a good sign nor a bad sign that you haven't heard. It's just a matter of hanging tight and being patient.

curlymk Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks so much Woodsters!! Also, were you at the Orientation in May I think it was? Are you currently a rural area Physician Assistant in the Gainesville? Did you spen some time overseas (I can't remember the country) before attending PA school in Gainesville? If this isn't you sorry. But I remember a recent grad speaking at the orientation. Her story was so inspiring. I didn't write down her name.

Cjones Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey woodsters! I was at the first session and haven't heard anything yet. I am anxiously waiting! It was really refreshing getting to interact with the faculty and students. Hopefully I will hear soon from Ms Burdett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Cjones - congrats on your interview! I do know of two people from your group who received acceptances already. That doesn't mean that you will have to wait until the end of the process to hear, though. I noticed last year that as each interview occured, they reconsidered prior interviewees and called them at random times. So, it's good that you interviewed at the first session - every time they consider accepting other applicants, they'll have to think about you. So, hang in there!

Cjones Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Thanks for your words of encouragement woodsters. Fortunately, I won't have to wait too long! I just got the call today from UF...I'm in!!! So excited to attend this great program! Couldn't be happier right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 So happy for you Cjones! What's your full name? Did I talk to you at the dinner? So many excited people, can't remember who all I talked with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjones Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Thanks! Charlie Jones. I didn't get to talk with you during the dinner, but I enjoyed what you had to say during the orientation. I was sitting with Brendan. Being able to interact and talk with the students was an amazing part of the process. It allowed me to calm my nerves and go into the interview relaxed and just be myself.

Diana825 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 patience is a virtue I am having a hard time with! woodsters I took your advice and went on vacation for my birthday and received an invite for an interview to Nova but still not from UF. I hope they call soon!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingersol34 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Congrats Charlie! Still waiting to hear as well which is tough. Keeping my fingers crossed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgenin Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far! I was also at the August interview, but have not heard anything back yet. I think that everyone who was in our group was a great candidate and deserves to be accepted. So for those of us who have not heard anything yet, stay optimistic! There is still plenty of time for us to get the good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 To all of you who are waiting to hear, keep the faith! Good luck on all your future interviews. UF's next interview is a week from today. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlymk Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm so thrilled to have received a call from Ms. Cathleen today! The interview is set for Oct 9th! Does anyone know what kind of activity you do for the group portion of the interview? Also, Woodsters, will you be attending Oct. 8th informal dinner? Anyone else interviewing that date?

woodsters Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Woodsters will be the "recent grad" at the orientation activity on October 8. I will stay late for a few minutes to answer questions. HOWEVER, that is my 24th wedding anniversary so I will NOT be attending the dinner in favor of quality time with my husband :-) So glad you "kept the faith" curlymk. I look forward to meeting you (again). Now please say a little prayer that my former shadows will get invites :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlymk Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I sure will say a prayer for your former shadow Woodsters!! Also, thank you Diana I hope you get a call too. It took almost a month after everything was turned in for them to call me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana825 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I turned in everything in July :( that's why I'm worried! I hope nothing got lost in the mail as I was abroad for awhile. Thank you for the prayers. Hope we can be classmates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Diana - send a note to Cathleen Burdette and verify that your application is complete. She'll let you know if there is a problem with your "file" as far as "completeness" goes. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexUFPA Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Tomorrow starts the big interview week session round 2! Good luck to all my fellow interviewees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjones Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Congrats to those who are about to have their interviews! Going to the orientation and talking with the first year students at the dinner was great. You will really get a feel for the program. If you can I highly recommend going to the dinner. It really helped me relax and go into the interview feeling more confident which allowed me to just be myself. If you have been selected for an interview, then you already meet their standards on paper, and now they just want to get to know you as a person to see if you are a good fit for the program. Just be yourself! Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexUFPA Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just got the call, I'm in! good luck to everyone else who interviewed with me. I hope you all get calls soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
