strawberry9090 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I saw they are requiring the PA-Cat. How was it for you? And do you know how much it is factored into admissions? Apparently they will not look at the scores for interview selection but will they after to figure out who they want to select into the class from interviews?

Wait so you submitted your app without sending them the pa-cat score? I thought all materials had to be sent in together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I am very curious about how they are weighting the PA-CAT @mandyq @alphaPA I Can message you guys all my stats and what I did for PCE, volunteer, shadowing etc! we didn’t have to take PA-CAT yes. I do not believe they will weigh it more or less necessarily. SEU does a hollistic approach to admissions so they will value how everything in your application is as a whole. Including their personal essays for the program! In regards to rolling or not. They did not start handing out interviews until November but as they interviewed they would accept people per interview (they did like 8-10 people per interview via zoom last year; which could change). I hope this helps a bit! If you have any other questions specifically feel free to message me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the PA-CAT is throwing me in for a loop because on the website it says that they will not look at PA-CAT scores until after the interviews. Basically in order to pick applicants for interview purposes they will not consider PA-CAT scores, if that makes sense. However my confusion is say I interview and everything went well but my PA-CAT scores are lower than the average of other interviewees, does that mean I will not be selected? How much does the PA-CAT matter? Also thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions. I would love to pm you further on stats for the program. Thanks!

So the program has not mentioned to us how they plan to do it. BUT, after i interviewed and got in they gave us all these modules of anatomy biochem etc that will be on PA-CAT that we had to do and finish exams. It maybe be used to just see where you stand as a bench mark. But sadly they didn’t mention how they plan to use it. However, like i said they approach everything hollistic, if you have decent grades the PA-CAT may not make much a difference but could for lower GPAs etc. I am sorry I wish I could give more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I was not keen on having to pay for and take another exam but I will study for the PA-CAT for a few weeks and just get it out of the way. I see that SEU has two supp essays. How did you approach them? Especially the social justice question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can tell if your just making it up. I can tell you what I did personally if you message me. All I’ll say tho is that they definitely are an important part of the application they aren’t just having you write them for no reason.

dfgreen Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'd like to know this as well. Are the interviews 1 on 1, group setting with current students? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluej Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I was interviewed on 01/18 and got my acceptance 02/07! My interview process consisted of 1 on 1s and a group activity with others that were interviewing. Also, PA-CAT is not weighted in the school's decision. Let me know if you have any other questions! Or, if you were also accepted! Best wishes to everyone still in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took it through my community college so whatever amount they charge per credit at your school. I think any medical terminology class at an institution should be fine.
