FromATCtoPAC Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hello! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the admissions office to get back to me about the eligibility of several prerequisites. My fingers are crossed!!Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faisalkamal Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Does anyone know if the Sociology prerequisite could be replaced with Developmental Psychology?Ā That is the only thing holding me back from applying to the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website says āSociology or Anthropology (3 units) ā Must be a course taken within the Sociology or Anthropology departmentā So, unfortunately that sounds like a clear no.

kimphan94 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi guys!Ā Regarding the requirements, can anyone elaborate the core science prerequisites? Does that mean BCP, sGPA, or the science GPA of required class? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The core science GPAĀ seems like it will be calculated only using the courses that you select in CASPA that correspond to the requirement. Like out of that list under core sciences on the website, whatever courses you chose for those will be used to calculate. Ā Hopefully I answered your question.

angelicamber Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I recently called the PA phone number and the admissions person randomly told me there are currently over 3000 applications. Which got me thinking about admit stats which I cannot seem to find anywhere. Anyone happen to have a link to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it could be discouraging but this is a competitive field and I know a few people who have matriculated into the program and this program selects candidates that best fit their values. I think that this program provides their students with the best faculty to succeed. I applied on 7/27 and received confirmation a few weeks later. I am excited to hopefully be a part of the SCU PA program and hope to learn and connect with you all! This is my first time applying to SCU. I have heard great things about this program and faculty!Ā Wish you luck this cycle!Ā Edited December 9, 2021 by Taleen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KortneyDaly Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi, I'm a SCU student in the MSPA program and wanted to reach out and let you know I'm here if you have any questions.Ā I was once in your shoes, checking the forums, email, and even my voicemail multiple times per day, it's a long wait but it's so worth it. Hang in there and try to enjoy the holidays with your families. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interview invite came closer to the end of January; they were still sending invites at the end of February so hang in there, I know the wait is filled with anxiety and anticipation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelicamber Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Is the GRE required for this school? I don't seem to see it mentioned anywhere on the website so I would assume it's not required.Ā I also wanted to ask if anyone knows if the school is currently closed and if so, when they will open? I emailed them a few days ago and have not heard back. Edited December 30, 2021 by angelicamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KortneyDaly Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 @angelicamberĀ - You are correct, the GRE or PA-CAT is NOT required for the 2021-2022 application cycle. You can find the full admissions requirements here.Ā Campus is currently closed, classes resume January 10th. I'm sure your email will get a response soon. I hope that helps answer your questions, good luck this cycle! Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KortneyDaly Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just a reminder from admissions: the application deadline is January 15; all requirements must be met by then, except for the bachelor's degree.

Ā From your experience, about how long does it take for admissions to get back to us AFTER our interview to notify us of admittance/rejection/waitlist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KortneyDaly Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @marblossoms96Ā - I know how much I appreciated having a current student lend advise and answer general questions while going through the application cycle; it's my pleasure to give back. In regards to your question, it's hard to say...for me, I interviewed February 2 and heard back that same week. Other students heard back in one week, a couple of weeks, or even months later (taken off the waitlist). The best advice I can give is to stay positive and check your email (including the junk folder) often. Good luck all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a question, I submitted on the deadline however I received an email stating I missed the deadline because it needed to be verified BY the deadline. Such an honest mistake on my end for not catching the different between āsubmitting by ā¦ and verifying byā¦ā. Iām very sad because this was a top school for me. Thank you for your time!Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KortneyDaly Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 @JayleneDĀ - Apologies, I'm not sure I understand what the question is exactly. From my past experience, after submitting applications CASPA must then verify the information is correct before forwarding the application to the school. I'm not sure how long the current verification process takes though. It is my understanding that if you submitted your application on January 15th, it would still need to be verified by CASPA before it could be received by SCU (thus the missed deadline). However, I would encourage you to reach out to CASPA/SCU for further clarification. On another note, as a pre-PA what do you find most challenging about the application process? The CASPA process? The different requirements from universities? I'm interested to know how current PA students could help pre-PAs through this process. Thanks in advance for your opinion.
