cmj0233 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I recently received a letter in the mail informing me that my application was "on hold pending a potential invitation for an interview." I was wondering if anyone has received the same letter and/or if anyone had a suggestion of whether or not I should send additional material into the office of admissions...and, if so, what the best method of doing this would be (E.g. email, letter, etc) and to whom I should address the materials. I have some shadowing experience and more HCE hours that are not reflected on my initial application and thought any additional material might help, especially if I showed that I am always trying to progress towards a career as a PA. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 cmj, I would email the admissions office with your new info, it can't hurt. When we interviewed, they told us to email in any updates because it might make a difference in the decision making today. I don't know how it works with having your application on hold but they didn't tell you no yet and there will be people canceling their interviews when they get accepted to other schools first, so you've gotta believe that you still have a chance. You might contact them and ask what classes or other things they would suggest for you to strengthen your app and try to work on them as soon as you can. Even though I got accepted, I received a to do list of things they want done before class starts, it wouldn't be bad to start working on that kind of stuff now. Good luck!

lucky3 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 For those of you who just recently interviewed, when did the program receive your application? Also, how long before you were informed of an interview? I'm trying to get a grasp on their timeline for the process. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopczh55 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I also received the same exact letter in the mail!!! I hope we get interviews!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Lucky, on 7/12 CASPA messaged me that my app would get sent with the next batch, 7/30 I got an email from MWU saying that they had received my application, 8/4 I received my invitation to interview on 10/5. It seems like it all went very fast to me, I know that I have seen a number of people, including on this forum that have had the same process take twice as long so I'm not sure how it all works. My brother in-law got his apps in a few weeks after me and didn't hear back at all until 2 or 3 weeks ago and now has an interview with USC this Saturday. Good luck!

lbutler28 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Midwestern received my CASPA app July 31 and I got an email for an interview invitation on August 15, it seems like last year they had interviews up until March or so if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinelli Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So I'm a little confused about knowing whether or not we're accepted. I can now view the "accepted student checklist" which I couldn't before today but theres no message or anything saying "congrats you're accepted" or something along those lines. Does this mean I'm accepted or theres just an error on my screen allowing me to see the checklist? I'd kinda like to know for sure before I cancel any other interviews :xD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberDEE Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I got a letter in the mail saying I am on hold for an interview as well. Congrats to everyone who has gotten accepted! Such exciting news :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Congratulations, dbinelli. I have been talking to them today because of the items on my checklist. You are accepted and wouldn't have the checklist if you weren't. They don't actually call or send you a letter for a week or so but I emailed the admissions department last night with my questions and they called this morning saying congratulations on your acceptance, here are the answers to your questions. My portal said that I had a $750 deposit due by 9/28/12 which was before I even interviewed but they let me know that it is due 10/30 instead. I'm surprised how short a time they give us, it means I have to commit before my other interviews that are all after the due date but I guess it is a good thing for everyone still hoping to get an interview.

Bigfish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Binelli, I didn't realize who you were until I checked my interview list. That is pretty cool that you got your wish to get out of the cold. Come join us in the valley of the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinelli Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yeah there are a few things I need to ask them about on my checklist since it says I still need a Bachelor's degree which I'm pretty sure I obtained last year. Anyways that's fantastic news, congrats to you and everybody else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 About the degree thing, they don't get a copy of your transcripts from CASPA and they want their own official copy sent from all schools you attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinelli Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Oh that makes sense! Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breestrenk10 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I am a bit confused as well. My portal changed today, and I can see the accepted students check list but not the matriculation agreement. Will that come tomorrow? I hope this is real life!!

Bigfish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yep, it just takes time for the system to refresh. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It is real life everyone! If you see the checklist you're in!! Come on over to the Facebook page to get to know each other and congratulations everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coocaro Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I checked last night at 2 am out of habit, even though it wasn't there yesterday afternoon, and I saw an accepted student checklist!! ahh, can't even believe it! Thought I was rejected for sure. I'm thinking I'll put the deposit down even though I have 3 more interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tash2807 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 FYI, I had an accepted student checklist this morning as well, and now it has changed to an applicant checklist. If this is the case, you are probably not accepted. I called admissions to confirm, and they said that it was an IT error :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breestrenk10 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Same thing happened to me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandd95 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yep, me too. :( Words cannot even describe the disappointment. I'm guessing if your portal changed on Tuesday, you were accepted. If your portal changed yesterday, it was an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tash2807 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I completely agree, I was very disappointed as well. It would be nice to get an apology or explanation e-mail, even if they had no control over it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandd95 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Amen! I hope applicants didn't cancel their other interviews or anything. I know I had fun calling/texting people to tell them I wasn't accepted after all. :) An apology would have been nice, even if, as you said, they had no control over it. The lady on the phone was very matter of fact about it. I don't think she realizes how important this is for some people and how disappointing it is to find out it was a glitch.
