vanessavarbanova Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Are we supposed to write a different essay on the impact of COVID? Unsure why they included that in their questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they’ve been getting this question a lot (understandably!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just heads up from my experience from previous cycles is that they typically do not send a confirmation until when the admissions committee is actually beginning to review your application. 2019 I submitted in late July and got 'application received' email in mid November. 2020 I submitted in mid July and got 'application received' email in January 2021. Since you're submitting earlier I bet the wait won't be quite as long as mine was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryPA Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hello everyone, I’m waiting to submit bc unfortunately, my anatomy class is not within 5 years. Currently retaking it and will submit once the class is complete. I plan to submit early August. Hopefully that won’t be too late Good luck to us all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanels1123 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi All, Does anyone know how to answer this question? Other than those already listed in your application, please list your specific experiences working with a physician assistant. Include the clinical setting, field of medicine, the role you played (e.g., shadower, colleague, tec.), and the approximate number of hours. Your response should be limited to 100 words or less.

For me, I specifically focused on the situations I worked hand in hand with Physician Assistants. I worked as a Firefighter/Paramedic for many years so I highlight my time working with PA's, RN's, NP's and Physician in the ER. They only give you 100 words to write a response so its literally like 3-4 sentences max. The response is very brief. I hope that helps @Chanels1123 Anyone do anything different? - Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just made a bullet list of all the specialties of PAs I’ve worked with / volunteered with / shadowed, type of environment, and # of hours for each. The list itself took up my 100 words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
