How responsive is DTIS customer service? I am also having trouble with this. Were you able to get it resolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed DTIS customer service and they weren't very helpful...so then I called Castle Branch and after being on hold for 45 mins I was able to speak with someone who put in a request with someone higher up who was able to change my account to an out of state account and so far everything looks to be working correctly. I'm now waiting for my fingerprint card to arrive in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t worry too much on stats. The fact is everyone is different. Let’s say your stats are avg compared to someone else’s but your volunteer and pce hours exceeded when compared to others. This fact balances your overall app. Also, depends on your personal statement and the challenges you’ve been through and the school you attended as community college may be weighed differently if you attended an IV college. So there are so many factors. You have a chance just like everyone else, Keep positive and stay confident on what you submitted! Note: as long as you met the requirements you’ll be fine unless the program requires a specific score as a requirement.

I think you definitely do still have a shot! There's so much more they look at besides just your GRE score and GPA, they'll look at your experience, personal statement, your overall goals and just you as a person. Definitely don't doubt yourself! Like what was stated above, just stay positive and confident! As long as all the requirements are met, you definitely have a good chance. Good luck!

The GRE is honestly not a good gauging tool to use if someone should be considered for PA school or not, and I think a lot of school are actually swaying away from it. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah12 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Has anyone that is attending the interview on 7/7 received any info on interview style/what the day will look like other than starting and ending times? I have heard that it is common for a school to tell you what to expect and want to make sure that I didn't miss an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also supposed to interview On 7/7 and have not received an email about the format yet. Only that it will be from 1pm to approximately 5/5:30pm. I have heard though from a current student that it is a blind interview with three individual faculty members(at least that is what hers was like). Hope this helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make much sense to have to pay that much money prior to acceptance. The process has to be started before the date castlebranch says I think. But yeah, it doesn’t make sense. I confirmed with them and it’s what they want. You cannot be considered for acceptance without being cleared. It’s a lot of time and money to be potentially rejected, but what can we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrittGrebinger Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 So the background check doesn't have to be completed before your interview, but it does need to be completed before they can officially accept you or not. So I would recommend getting it done ASAP so it doesn't cause a delay in case they do choose you but then theydon't have your background check and that could potentially put you on the wait-list. I know it's kind of a pain but it's just part of the deciding factor unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
