FierceDeityMomo Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 @mayred: I really hope the reason we got e-mails was not because we're alternates. In the past, after speaking with graduates from the program, those who were alternates were told flat out, so I'm hoping that's the case here. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj7 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 All, I also spoke with April today and she asked if I would post her response "our" question..."Why calls for some and emails for others?" Her response was that the phone calls that began on Monday were taking too long and she wanted to let everyone know in a timely fashion, so she switched to emails and had planned to call everyone at a later date as soon as she could. It does not matter if you received a phone call or an email first, we are all in the same group...alternates and all. It also does not matter what time your email was sent/received. My advice is to take the secondary very serious! I am...in case you were wondering. (Sorry, I would put a smiley face here, but I can't bring myself to use emoticons) Also, transcripts need to be sent, but she is in the process of uploading our Letters of Recommendation from CASPA so we do not need to request new ones. All of the secondaries will go to the SON on Jan 2 and final notifications will be made in mid January...and I (you) thought the wait was over. Heavy sigh. Good luck! Please post any problems/solutions with the secondary so we can all get through this together. On that note... GRE scores are not required. Anybody discover anything else?

FierceDeityMomo Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 So just got the e-mail that we don't need transcripts...after I express ordered them all yesterday. Boo! Hope it's all worth it. Good luck everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLara Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Good thing I guess SacPrePA is that the transcripts can still be used :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAmbrosino Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Just spoke with April. She said she is still sending out invitations to submit secondary applications and to give her until Monday evening to finish up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceDeityMomo Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hmm...I wonder how many applicants are getting secondaries? I wonder if everybody who interviewed is getting one...that would definitely not help my stress level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAmbrosino Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 @SacPrePA: I'm almost positive that not everyone gets a secondary. I think between 30-40 applicants receive them. I'm with ya on the stress train. Blahhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastPAC Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hi everyone, Thought I'd share some info that you may or may not already know. I received my "congrats" e-mail to complete my secondary and completed it almost immediately upon receiving the application (I had a little time on my hands...). On Wednesday (12/12), I received an accidental "rejection e-mail" from the admissions staff. I was hysterical, but knew that there had to be some kind of mix-up. So, I called and found out it was sent in error. But, within the e-mail, I found that there are a total of 35 slots, 5 alternates and thus 40 total secondary application invitations. Now, based upon the interview, we were told that if you received the e-mail, you were essentially in, but the secondary is a formality. SO......Im hoping that 5 of you folks decide Davis isn't for you and a spot is kept open for me so I can cancel my other interviews!!!!! :) Happy Holidays!

Coast2CoastPAC Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 How are everyone's secondaries coming along? I submitted mine last week. Did anyone else notice that final decisions will be announced on in March?? I would really hate to receive the rejection later so late in the process....after I already started looking at FAFSA, apartments, etc...........

CA_poppies123 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hi all! For those who are just applying to become a PA, what is the title of the master's degree upon completion? MS in Physician Assistant Studies? I am finishing up my essays but want to put the correct degree. Thanks! Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj7 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wam11, this is from the Admissions instruction letter; Plans for Graduate Study Academic program: What program are you applying? Nurse Practitioner applicants will select Nursing Science andHealth‐Care Leadership M.S. from the drop down list. Then select M.S. as your degree objective. Physician Assistant applicants will select Physician Assistant Studies. Then select M.S. as your degree objective. Congratulations on finishing!

GoingPA Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey there! Congrats to those of who got an interview At UC Davis. I was at one of those interview dates in late October. Interview were pretty straight forwards and the faculty and staff are really nice! Has anyone heard back from them? SON application for the school of Nursing is the next step? Does everyone got through the same process? Thanks for your help! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaypgray Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi all! For those who are just applying to become a PA, what is the title of the master's degree upon completion? MS in Physician Assistant Studies? I am finishing up my essays but want to put the correct degree. Thanks! Merry Christmas! Hi wam11, I don't think every program is the same, but most masters degree I have seen is just called MPAS... Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. It might also be MHS (Masters of Health Sciences), or MMSc (Masters of Medical Sciences). A hand full of programs still offer bachelor's degrees, associates degrees, and even just a certification. Generally, though, if you go to the doctor's office and see a PA, you will see it written as Joe Schmoe, PA-C, the "C" standing for "certified." That's because you're degree allows you the privilege of taking the PANCE, which gives you the national certification to actually practice as a PA. Good luck with your essay!

NLara Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Specialk, I recieved an email today from SON stating "Your application for the MS in Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership has been submitted for priority review. All transcripts and letters of recommendation have been received, your application is complete. Final admission decisions will be made by the end of March and announcements will be communicated by email." More waiting :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialk Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks NLara! I have not received that email yet, but did email April and she said we would know something in couple of weeks. Sooo frustrating... I want to not go to other interviews and give my spot to others who want it (ucd is my first choice) but am afraid to do that. Hopefully, we will all know soon!
