But again haven’t taken orgo and am currently in Chem 2! regular gpa is 3.7 Bachelors degree in sociology from UF 2k patient care hours working in a dermatology clinic as a medical assistant and letters of rec from all 4 providers i work with (2MDs, 1 DNP, 1 ARNP) Oh well. There’s always next cycle!!!! thinking about getting my EMT cert in my next year off and definitely going to take orgo to be more competitive! And if anyone has any recs for anything I should do during my gap year or anything to strengthen my application I would super appreciate any advice! also considering retaking the GRE! good luck to everyone still in consideration!!!

When they called me for my interview they had virtual options as well, but I don’t know how many sessions and when they are. I chose in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajh20 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Hi, just had a question about the dress code. The email says business casual for Monday and to wear comfortable shoes. I do plan on wearing slacks/pants and a button down, but did anyone wear tennis shoes as comfortable shoes, or did you wear comfortable "dress" shoes? Thank you!

I chose a virtual option in the third week of November. I believe the other virtual option available at that time was closer to the end of November. Sad to miss out on the in-person fun, but grateful they offer a virtual option for those of us unable to make the trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask me anything Thank you for helping out !! Do you know when people who interviewed in September might hear back about acceptances ? I know they said October- November but just wanted to have some more insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcola Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 2 minutes ago, Ladybug25861 said: There is no set time frame unfortunately. Last year I interviewed in November and got a call about 2 weeks later, but I was also the second to last interview, so they were wrapping up the process anyway. September interviews are early for our program, so it might take longer to hear back. That’s what I figured. Thank you sm!! Also in general, what do you think helped you stand out in your application/interviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to even receive a 2nd level review email, but I haven't been rejected yet either. Should I be worried since it is almost November and people have already said they have an interview lined up in November? UF is my top choice I went there for undergrad #stressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug25861 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Do not be worries yet! Our faculty will sometimes call people a week before the interview session starts to schedule. They gave me 2 weeks' notice last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were deciding between multiple programs, what was it that led you to choose UF? Do you feel like you and your classmates are collaborative and supportive of each other? I decided to choose UF because of their mental health and educational resources for students. As a student who struggles with learning disabilities and chronic mental health concerns, it was important to me that the program was prepared to support a student like myself. As a PA student, we receive expediated mental health care through Shands (UF hospital). For example, it would take a non-PA student 3 months to get tested for ADHD, but PA students can get in the next week (I've personally experienced this). Additionally, we have our own FREE therapist, FREE tutors, and a Learning Specialist who is ready to help build individual study plans. I am obsessed with my class! We all help each other, share resources, and hype each other up 24/7. I could not do this without them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
