Oh well. That was a quick decision from them. I didn't know they were sending out decisions already. I'm still waiting for their response. Do you know why they may have come to that decision? And you have many chances so don't worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UOP does a screening process before sending out invites to qualified candidates for the program. It filters things like hours, gpa, etc. I got the pass for screening pretty early on then got my interview email in June so keep a look out! I am not sure when they are planning on doing interviews this round but get excited because it was a really fun process!

I sent in my application this week and got an auto reply that UoP had received it. It stated they would review my information and get back to me. I noticed that the email was signed by Jacie Touart, Interim Admissions Director. From the website's information and my own research I understood Jed Grant to be the Admissions Director. Is there a change in leadership and faculty taking place currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSN214 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I got past the initial screening on May 24th but still waiting to hear about an interview! I'm hoping I'll get to hear back from them in the next few weeks, definitely one of my top schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake408 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Best of luck to you @MSN214! I just applied but I don't think I'll make the initial cut due to an issue with one of my classes I took last semester. How long did it take for UOP to review and approve you application after CASPA approved it?  - Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee123 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi everyone! Did you guys wait for CASPA to receive your GRE score for UOP specifically before submitting the application? Under "Check Status" and then "Standardized Tests"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSN214 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 @Jake408Â My caspa was verified on May 20th and I received an initial screening email from UOP on May 24th so the turn around was pretty quick! Good luck with your applications! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSN214 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 @Emmmm UOP doesn't require GRE scores so I didn't wait, I finished the essays and the rest of the caspa application and submitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very busy man! Lol he was called to active duty this year so Jacie has stepped up as interim admission director. Both have always been involved in admissions though. Jacie is AMAZING and teaches many of our courses along with doing admissions for now. I am unsure when Jed will return from overseas but he will be back! Hope this clears things up.
