ItsaSirPrize Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 so im a little confused, maybe someone can help... I submitted within CASPA first (because i already saw the questions?) then sent the 25 dollar payment. Within the email of the payment it says "Please log into the CASPA Applicant Portal and complete the supplemental questions found under Program Materials" .. SUPER confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPER confused Pretty sure that's just an automated message included with the registration email for payment. You'll probably get a confirmation email from Rutgers in a day or two saying that they received your application from CASPA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnthusiasticPAHopeful2021 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just received an invite to interview with the program! So very excited--still can't believe it! I am wondering when the second email confirmation will go through for the dates, time, and location. Has anyone received one? Also are interviews supposed to be in person or over zoom for this cycle?

If you don’t mind sharing, when were you confirmed by Rutgers/ on caspa? Thank you! I submitted 5/21, verified within like 3 days I forget which day. I paid the supplemental fee 5/21 but I never got a confirmation from Rutgers so I waited it out until last week I emailed and asked if I was missing anything and if they received all materials. They emailed me back Friday 7/9 to say that just with the influx of apps they never emailed me but I was confirmed and would hear about my status shortly. Then today 7/13 received final status email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamanthaAmber63 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 oh man, your stats are better than mine! I do not have much hope to gaining an interview here, but decided to try since they allow you to write a formal request if your GPA is on the lower side. My last 60 is a masters degree + post bac which was a GPA of 3.9 but best of luck to everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAFirstTimeApp Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 @Chloeloy22 Thank you! Fingers crossed for other programs I was verified on CASPA 5/17 and got an email from Rutgers saying my app was received on 6/9. @SamanthaAmber63 3.9 is awesome!!! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRAMBITION1488 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi everyone! I am from NC but I LOVE Rutgers program!! I just graduated with my masters in physiology with a 3.8 GPA. I want to prove to the school that I’m not a joke. I was verified on June 28 and am playing the waiting game now. Any body in the part time track of the program? I’m curious as to how that works. Best of luck to you all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where specifically in the Rutgers CASPA section and what is the word/character requirements? I ask because I wrote down a word count and can no longer remember why I wrote down that number. Also, the character count that I am seeing is different from the previous cycle. So, I want to concur with someone on this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the top of the Questions page in CASPA, it used to say "No more than 200 words each", however at some point this cycle they removed that and it's no longer there. I just know that when I submitted, it still said "200 words each" because I copy-pasted the whole thing into a Google Doc where I wrote that. So to be honest I have no idea what the word limit is! I guess I'd just keep in mind that they read a ton of applications, so try not to write toooooo much. Could always reach out to them if they have a preferred word limit still? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
