cboatz Posted March 26, 2022 Hi Everyone, I decided I wanted to start this thread for the new application cycle. I have a question for anyone who may know, and feel free to ask/answer any other questions on this thread! Does anyone know when CU Denver posts their CASPER test dates? Quote
tristatecoog Posted May 9, 2022 Not many people take the time to give such great insight. Thanks! Quote
leneubauer22 Posted May 27, 2022 Submitted my application on 5/23 and was verified 5/24... now begins the waiting game. Good luck to everyone this cycle! Quote
foodygirl988 Posted June 15, 2022 Hi everyone!! So I’m really struggling with the autobiography. My self identity has largely been surrounding academics, and I feel as if I touch on my undergrad courses and experiences too much compared to actual “hobbies” outside of academics. I hope that makes sense. I know they state that this isn’t a personal statement or “why PA”, so I do avoid going into depth there, but I do mention wanting a career in healthcare, etc. any tips or comments on how you guys structured yours? Any help is appreciated Quote

Any help is appreciated I just started with a quick synopsis about where I was born and what my family life was like then did a quick gloss over of what I was like as a child through adolescence. Went into a little more depth with highschool about athletics and academics. I then went into greater detail about university and experiences such as studying abroad. Then finally I talked about what I did during my gap years (travel and more travel) where I am now and how COVID altered my trajectory, etc. I took it VERY literal and portrayed, as much as I could, an abridged version of my life story.

AlohaAll Posted June 15, 2022 Hi Everyone - trying to get a feel for the timeline and hoping a few can give input. Once you were verified, how long till you received an email for secondaries? TIA Quote
NotyouraveragePrePA Posted June 15, 2022 @AlohaAll the secondary application is available now on the website. https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/physician-assistant-program/prospective-students/how-to-apply 1 Quote

Any help is appreciated To me, I took this as an opportunity to expand on information that is not in my application already. I talked about my childhood, some of my hobbies, things that impacted me in high school, etc. To me, I felt as though this space would be best utilized by discussing things they do not already know about me, but I know there's no wrong answer either!

PrePa5892 Posted June 21, 2022 Hi everyone, I went through last years thread to see when people got interview invites. Looks like CU Denver sent out invites from 7/22 to 9/28. Hope this helps with the timeline for everyone! 1 Quote
jmill25 Posted June 30, 2022 Does anyone have any insight on what is a considered a ‘good’ Casper score? I just got my results back and I am in the 3rd quartile. I’m unsure if this is a good or bad thing for my application. Quote

I’m unsure if this is a good or bad thing for my application. Direct quote from Altus Suite- “Quartiles tell you how you scored relative to your peers. For example, applicants who scored in the fourth quartile scored higher than applicants in the first, second and third quartiles, meaning they scored higher than at least 75% of all applicants. Applicants who scored in the second quartile scored higher than applicants in the first quartile, but lower than applicants in the third and fourth quartile. Specifically, this means that they scored higher than at least 25% of all applicants, but lower than at least 50% of all applicants.” So third quartile means you scored higher than 50% of applicants and lower than 25%. Hope this helps! Quote
jp2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Has anyone who submitted their application and supplemental receive any notice or updates from the program yet? Quote

I received the email that the application was complete, and said that interview invitations are sent from July through October. Nothing else, though. Hopefully they'll start sending out invites/notifications soon... I hate the waiting! Quote
