This program looks at your overall application and does not focus on just grades. Grades are just a small part of what will make you a great PA. Stats according to CASPA: Overall GPA: 3.24 Science GPA: 3.11 Overall non-science: 3.41 Patient care experience/shadowing hours: 5,422 (CNA, medical assistant at dermatology office) - I had the opportunity to shadow multiple PAs in different specialties which gave me a broader understanding of the healthcare field. Volunteer hours: 124 hours LOR: 1 PA, 1 MD, 1 supervisor Goodluck to everyone applying this cycle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea95 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Did they say how many ppl they are taking from the waitlist 2020 apps? Sounds like a lot.. & they haven’t interviewed this cycle yet. Kind of interesting. Haven’t seen a school do this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not say how many people but in the first cycle they extended their deadline to May to get more applications so alot of us on the waitlist probably interviewed fairly recently in the summer. We didn’t get accepted only because they filled all their seats. This probably happened because it was their first admissions cycle ever lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem a little unfair to those of us applying this cycle to not be made aware that there are less seats available for the cohort because they're already filled by previous applicants. It would be nice to know how many seats are still available for us. That being said, congrats to those who got a seat secured, I imagine its a relief to not have to worry about applying again.

ninjahmc Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Was told that they won't hold interviews until about January.. So expect to hear a bit later about interviews.. I'm guessing at least by December?? Spoke to someone involved w/ admissions in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlizB20 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi Everyone! I applied last cycle and got through to interview for the waitlist, however, they filled all the seats. They let me know that I wouldn't have to apply again and I would be interviewed for this upcoming year. Anyone else in this situation? And if so, have you received an interview yet?

clemintine1 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Hello, I am interested in applying to this program this summer. However I don't have much PCE hours. The majority of my experience in healthcare is from volunteering, shadowing and research. Is it worth applying to the program? Is it possible to get in with no PCE hours?

ohmyPA25 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 One of the people from the admission dept said apps will be looked at in January for those who applied this cycle. I wonder how many seats are left… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovethesun101 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I submitted my application and said it was received/complete this November (2021) and did not hear back from them. I asked to make sure if they have received it, and they stated its ready to be viewed by the committee. During my call last week, I also asked for an application timeline and was told that they are unsure at this time, but not to worry as it is still considered early in their application cycle. Has anyone heard back yet? Was applying in November too late? Edited December 9, 2021 by Lovethesun101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalPrePa1 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 is it too late to apply this program? Never knew there was a PA in the central coast I'm so close to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
