sabella57 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hello! I thought I would get the forum for the SIU application started! Has anyone had trouble filling out the supplemental application? There is no option to choose "Summer 2022". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TannerH Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I was having the same trouble finding Summer 2022. I emailed them and they said "The PA program only admits new students in the SUmmer. The deadline to apply is November 1st. So You won't see it listed as being able to start in the Spring Semester." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait so do we select “Summer 2021” then? It seems like that one is there for last year’s application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TannerH Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The way I understood it, is we will have to check back periodically until a Summer 2022 option is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippogriff97 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Good luck to everyone applying here! It's a fantastic program, and I'm thankful I get to be a part of it. You've applied to a great place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TannerH Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I have a question regarding one of the documents required to be submitted to the Graduate application on the schools website. It says to upload a personal statement. Is anybody just submitting their personal statement that was submitted to CASPA? Or writing a second personal statement?

The CASPA character count roughly equates to the grad school page count, I noticed. In my opinion, I feel that writing two different personal statements would make either one sound insincere. I guess the corollary to that would be the risk of looking lazy in the eyes of the reviewers by using the same essay. Also, the PA school website states not to upload anything to the grad school app, but my fear of the whole process forced me to use the same files for both applications. Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very much so does. Not uploading documents to the graduate school application would save a ton of time and make me very happy! Thanks for the help!

In the How to Apply section on SIU's website it says not to upload transcripts, essays, personal statements, resumes, or references to this supplemental application. Apply to the SIU Graduate School and pay the non-refundable application fee. Before the deadline, applicants must complete and submit both the application and application fee to the SIU Graduate School. Using the Apply Yourself system, select ‘MSPA’ and the appropriate summer semester, before you enter information. Do not upload transcripts, essays, personal statements, resumes or reference letters to this supplemental application. Those should be submitted to CASPA.

stephprePA Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 For the supplemental application, which does "program" does it fall under for program information? I don't see anything about school of medicine or physician assistant studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called first to invite me for an interview and then sent an email with more detail right after the call - same thing for my acceptance notification.
