MedIsLifePA Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello everyone! I didn't see a post for this year's cycle so I'm super excited to start it. I"m very nervous about applying. Last year I only applied to about 3 schools because I didn't take the GRE. My undergrad GPA is low so I'm stepping out on faith here, but my science gpa, postbacc gpa, and graduate gpa are much much better. Here are my hours: (I tried to overcompensate to offset the low GPA) PCE: 8,000+ hrs as a Clinical research coordinator and PT aide Research: 1,720 hrs Extracurricular: 1,327 hrs Volunteer: 686 hrs (including Guatemala medical mission trip) Shadowing: 100 hrs (dermatology, oncology, hematology, orthopedics, emergency medicine, internal medicine, thoracic surgery, and otolaryngology) Leadership: 41 hrs Teaching: 6 hrs Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineLF Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think you're stats are amazing, and most schools look at the application holistically. I'm also super nervous too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM2FMFPMT Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi Friends, I hope all and loved ones are well, safe, and healthy. I applied to Stanford University yesterday! I'm so S-T-O-K-E-D!!!! Still waiting on CASPA Verification. First time applying to any PA Program, I've been thinking about this very moment for about twenty years. Very Respectfully, Ryan C. Martin-Valenzuela, M.S.

Jake408 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Thank you @alysd. How far did you get when you first applied? And was there any particular reason they didn't select you for the 2020-2021 class? - Jake Edited May 29, 2021 by Jake408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarti Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Did we have to take CASPER test for this program? I added Stanford to the list but if they don’t require it I shouldn’t have added it to the list because I think I did horrible in CASPER test.

Nkpa20 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Did You dress Up for the snapshot part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjojo Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Hey guys! I took my Casper a while ago because it was required for a lot of my programs. I thought I did terrible and just recently got my score back in the highest quartile. On my Snapshot I had thought I hit finish recording and didn’t and let out a huge dramatic sigh before realizing I didn’t hit the button. So definitely no worries about how you did on the Casper I wore a black top.. but I think the lighting washed out that it wasn’t a T-shirt. I know it’s recommended to dress business casual.

I did business on top, casual on the bottom (put on a blazer and a nice necklace, tied my hair up) I actually enjoyed Snapshot, I felt like the questions were easy and I was able to express myself. Basic interview questions I wouldn’t stress about it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @MaddieQ How did you check your score on Casper? My test said the results were complete but it didn't give me a score or quartile. - Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjojo Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Hey @Jake408! I attached a chronological screenshot summary From the email, view results. Next picture is when I log into casper, the click on "go to casper", then choose 'view results'. It is a popup not a redirect. If you don't get this page, choose reservations from the altus home page- then from there it should have my last photo where it says view results. For reference, I took it on 5/4 and got my results on 6/1. Edited June 19, 2021 by MaddieQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
