jp42593 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hi everyone! I thought I would start this cycle's thread off with a question. For the "prerequisites" tab on CASPA, it looks like we have to enter something from our transcripts, but the only requirement for RVU is the minimum GPA. I'm curious to know what folks are selecting for this (ex. adding all of your courses, just the suggested prerequisite courses, etc.). Thanks in advance and best of luck to all!!

Hannah23 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Another question... does anyone (current students or applicants) know how heavily preferred the PA-CAT is? Is it almost a deal breaker if I don't take it? For reference I have 7 years military, 8 years healthcare as an EMT in the ER, 3.0 cGPA (not great), multiple medical mission trips internationally and stateside. Really don't want to take it if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw3605 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Has anyone gotten the supplemental application sent to them yet? I was verified last week & every other program has confirmed they have received my application but RVU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbre Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I received the confirmation email today/invitation to log into the portal to complete the supplemental but the username and password combination I was given were invalid. Did this happen to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aslksf09834 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Received an interview invite on 6/29! Submitted CASPA on 6/5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmjpa Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Verified 6/17, and submitted all the supplemental stuff and fee shortly after. No confirmation email though, is that okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmjpa Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Also, I did not complete the PA-CAT due to financial reasons. Is this a huge downer to my application, those that have been granted an interview, did you do the PA-CAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an interview and did not take the PA-CAT, but I don't know if that will decrease my chances of an acceptance or not. Wondering if I should take it or not but it also says we have to take it by July 31st and that is pretty soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s so unfortunate that they’re on probation! I agree, definitely not worth the money. I have also been accepted at another program, I wanted to weigh my options with RVU but with the probation status, along with flagging from the VA (veteran using GI Bill) I will most likely be declining the interview. Thank you @abbre for bringing this to everyone’s attention! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DojaDog Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Big oof on that PANCE pass rate. so, how exactly bad is this…? Do a lot of relatively new programs kind of struggle with this or… hopefully they put out a statement, something reassuring… How they gon highly recommend the PACAT lol I highly recommend your students passing PANCE first 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
