T3hshultzie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Sadly I didn't get one, but they did say they would be sending out secondary applications to those who were accepted. Was the message sent to a group of people or just yourselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLara Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm working on my secondary app right now. I was told what this means that we have successfully passed our interviews. The secondary app is to the graduate school of nursing. Once that committee has reviewed our application they will have the final say regarding admissions. It's another hurdle to get over, but it's a good sign we have been choosen to move on. We are not accepted into the PA program just yet. We should know our future next month sometime. This is the first year that the PA faculty does not have a final say in choosing their students, the graduate committee will be making that decsicion here on out. My message was individual, I didn't see a group email list. Hope this helps folks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3hshultzie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So then I'm assuming that if we have not recieved one by this time then we have not made it to the next portion of admissions? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLara Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I wouldn't count yourself out yet T3hshultzie! Mark email said till end of this week, Davis is behind schudule so keep positive! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialk Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I also got the secondary invite on Monday. I think that everyone who got one should be very excited, as they only sent those out to about 40 people (which includes 6 alternates, I think). As a current graduate student at UC Davis, I had to do this same process for the program I am in now (apply to the individual program and then also apply to the UC Davis Graduate School). Basically, it is more of a formality than actual screening process. I think that as long as you do a good job on the secondary application, you are in! Otherwise, they would have no one in the program bc they only sent out these invites to about 40 people. So....GET EXCITED if you got the email or call :) Congratulations to everyone! Did anyone who got one interview on the 25th of Oct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLara Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thank you for sharing this information Specialk! Very helpful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3hshultzie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So I guess they have been sending them out all week then. Crossing my fingers that this just means there still 2 days left :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceDeityMomo Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 This makes me feel a lot better! I will be requesting all of my transcripts tomorrow, and hope they can get there within the next month. I kinda feel like I'm filling out CASPA again, but minus all the stress of hoping I get an interview. This is a good sign!! :) Way to go everybody who got an invite for that secondary!

NLara Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 SacPrePA, our CASPA transcripts and letters of recommendation will be submitted for us I read that under the instruction to do list we got emailed to us! Double check before you order any transcripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceDeityMomo Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I looked through the letter from April, and didn't see anything about the transcripts being transferred, only the letters of recommendation. If anybody else has any clarification, please let the rest of us know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj7 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Specialk, It appears you have some knowledge about the secondary...did you call April for clarification when you recieved it? I received mine today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialk Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 @Chris, April called me earlier this week to tell me. I am also basing it off of my past experiences (see above), as well as what they told us in the interview about the secondary app. Hope this helps! I am sure April can answer all of your other questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialk Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Only letters are taken from CASPA. Order transcripts! :;-D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA_poppies123 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 For those who are doing the secondary application, did you get an email or phone call? Do they let you know if you're an alternate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceDeityMomo Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 E-mail and I got no indication of being an alternate or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj7 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Same here...email only and no indication of alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA_poppies123 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 @SacPrePA and chrisj7 - It seems like they called some and emailed others. Congratulations on making it one step further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixon Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Well I'm going to go take my therapeutic alcohol and drain my eye glands... congrats. At least I can stop habitually checking PA forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee25 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I would think that the email would indicate if one was an alternate. Maybe they selected 38 instead of the 31 they approximated. I thought the PA faculty always recommended their selected students, only this time it is to SON and not family health and medicine department.

renee25 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 @SpecialK: I got an email and interviewed the 25th :=D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceDeityMomo Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 If anybody is sill curious, I spoke with April this morning who told me that official transcripts do have to be resubmitted, but we can submit our application prior to them actually being received. Also, the letter from her says PA applicants will not see a section for letters of reference, but I can so she told me to follow the same directions given to NP students, with the false e-mail addresses. Hope this helps anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialk Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi Renee25! What group were you in? Group 1 or 2? I am so bad and totally don't remember anyone's names from that day (due to stress). I was in Group 2 (did interviews second). Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee25 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thank you SpecialK! Of course, same to you! I was in group 1 and do not worry I'm not good with names only faces. It still feels surreal. I'm still such a nervous wreck because I'm still not sure what it means, but I not to be confused I'm beyond words or emotion extremely grateful for this opportunity.I just pray we have not come this far to be disappointed.

mayred Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Decided to chime in. I just received an email for the secondary. Does anyone know why they emailed some of us and called others? Are we the alternates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
