It was a total surprise! He missed the July deadline, after the 22nd of December rolled around and he didn’t hear anything we thought that was it. I emailed Admissions to ask if they would do a second round of invites if applicants declined their interview slots (being that it’s so late in the cycle and many have accepted other offers- did not mention his name or anything) and they replied kind of vaguely and said “All invites for this cycle have been sent out. If anyone declines we will act accordingly.” So I’m assuming someone declined and he got that spot! He was given until the 31st to RSVP (which he has) but if others went out on this round, I would assume the next round would be 1/01 or later if anyone declined or cancelled! I was accepted back in August so I’m excited for the prospect of us moving to Tampa and going to PA school together! Keep faith until the rejections come out and even then- July is right around the corner to apply again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futhrepa202155 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I agree about the lack of communication. I interviewed back in August and literally heard NOTHING from them afterwards. Luckily, I was pulled off the waitlist from last cycle at another school and have already began PA school! Good luck to everyone interviewing soon!!

VivPA Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 So disappointed in this programs lack of communication! They can post on instagram about their interviews and yet not contact their applicants? At this point I don't care that I did not receive an interview, I care that my application wasn't important enough to them to even warrant receiving a denial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many other PA programs, seems like they send out rejections at the end of their cycle, when all final decisions have been made. During the interviews they let us know that accepted applicants are given a call by a certain date, then later come emails with waitlist notifications and rejections. They did an early decision deadline, but I'd assume that many applications submitted before July were still pushed over to the December deadline, which only had their interviews last week. All rejections may go out together it seems- regardless of application date. I think this is pretty common though, as I got rejections many months after I applied and never heard from the schools after getting the generic "your application has been received" email. Even accepted applicants from August haven't heard much from the school since our initial acceptance documentation.. it's expected that they are busy until the cycle is completed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely understanding of this as well but if as a program they decide to post about the end of the application cycle and still have yet to contact their total applicant pool, it is a tad irksome.

We thought we would get to go to PA school together at the same time but I guess it wasn’t in the cards.. the plan is to still move down together and he’s going to reapply in July, so only 6 months to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the interview I remember one of the students explaining she was number 18 on the waitlist and never thought she would be selected and was thrilled that she was. There is still a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuturepa Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I received a rejection email this morning and I applied in May. Almost a year of not hearing back from them, they rejected my application. Sad to hear but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here... the email said I did not meet "minimum requirements" however I know for a fact I did because I triple checked, and they said they wont give individualized feedback... not quite fair if you ask me.

dmw1256 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Did anyone see the latest PANCE scores for U Tampa? Only a 76% pass rate compared to the national average of 92%. And this is down from the previous year which was 79%. They spent a lot of time at the interview talking about "improvements" they made to help boost students PANCE scores... Anyone have any ideas as to why they scored so low again this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
