carsone Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Has anyone heard about interviews? I remember reading somewhere that Duke would begin sending invites out starting in August! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefulguy Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Haven't heard anything :(. From older forums it seems like we still have a few weeks to wait (possibly). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdaniel001 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi all, Just a quick question regarding the prerequisite entry on CASPA. For selecting my anatomy course, it says Minimum grades: 2, on their website it says "3 semester hours" needed for the anatomy requirement. The anatomy class I took was with lab also, its just that on my official transcript, the class is noted both into 1 description, i.e., on my transcript it says "Human Anatomy" only, I do not have a a course on there that says "Human anatomy lab." So what is this 2nd grade that is needed for the anatomy prereq. on CASPA? Thanks is advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefulguy Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 @cdaniel001, Hi, if I'm understanding your question correctly, you are asking what to put under A&P? To give you an example, I took A&P 1 and then A&P 2. I selected those courses. Does that help? If you took human anatomy, you should have a second class that says physiology. The website says this: Human Anatomy and Physiology: Regardless of the number of courses/credits, the requirement is the complete study of the anatomy and physiology of all the major human bodily systems. Typically, this requires either two semester-long or three quarter-long courses with laboratory components to accomplish. Alternatively, Human Anatomy with lab and Human Physiology (with or without lab) will satisfy the requirement. The deadline is September 1st. If your application has already been verified fully before during this current cycle got may have time, but be wary of the deadline. Good luck!

vboura Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I am genuinely in disbelief.. yesterday I received my interview invitation to Duke's PA Program! Coming from a non-traditional background in neuroscience research with 3 unsuccessful program applications (2 for Ph.D. and 1 for PA), I am in a state of shock to be given this opportunity to interview with such a renowned PA program like Duke! Curious if anyone else has received similar good news and cheering for those who are still playing the waiting game! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurepastudent111 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Question for those who were offered interviews. What do you think they mean by a “passport-sized” photo? I took a picture with a neutral background from the shoulders up, but I’m not sure if I actually have to make it a certain size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpa18 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi all- Did you guys answer the Agreeable/positive aspects of responsibilities & Disagreeable/negative aspects of responsibilities section?

How did you all answer this question? Hey! I approached this question with the attitude of making a negative somewhat positive, if that makes sense. I first discussed what I enjoyed about the position(s), what they taught me, and then discussed some not so great aspects of the jobs--but did not focus too much on the negative (I gave the example of working on an inpatient unit and being chronically understaffed and how that was difficult, but made it positive by saying it strengthened my teamwork/creative thinking skills). I hope that helps! -Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
