nicspath2pa Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone! Starting this for those who want to discuss anything regarding EVMS for the new cycle. I’m still waiting to hear back from EVMS for this past cycle, but most of the acceptances have been sent and unless I get waitlisted & get really really lucky, I will likely end up being a second time applicant in this cycle. Good luck to everyone and can’t wait to talk with you all! Edited August 11, 2022 by nmillerpa74 grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone and can’t wait to talk with you all! Don’t feel bad man. It’s really hard to get in. I was a 2nd time applicant to EVMS the 21-22 cycle and got in. Even with a 2nd percentile CASPer. I retook the CASPer for this cycle and luckily made 3rd percentile had I not gotten in. But EVMS values reapplication so don’t quit!

ponds Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) PSA TO ALL IN HERE: EVMS is NON-ROLLING. Meaning they won’t look at your application until after March 1st, 2023. That means you can submit your complete and verified app right up until the deadline. AND EVMS requires all their prerequisite courses BE COMPLETED before the deadline, reflected in your transcripts (they do not accept in-progress prerequisites). there is an application handbook that can be found on the EVMS MPA website Edited August 10, 2022 by ponds 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You meet all their requirements ! Just make sure all your pre-reqs are a B- or greater. And continue to work on your PCE hours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prepa1324 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I applied really early and was just going to update the last psychology class I have to take and my patient care hours and volunteer hours. Am I at a disadvantage because I went ahead and submitted my application wayyy before the deadline. I feel as though I should have waited to give them a complete update on how many hours I completed.

Hey, this is posted in their admissions guidebook so you should be good even though you applied really early! I'd suggest checking out their guidebook if you haven't already! https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/health_professions/mpa_program/pdfs/EVMS_MPA_Admissions_Guidebook_Current.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labvampire Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I received an email to day stating I met all application file requirements and that I am eligible for review. Has anyone else received an email like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnSkY212586 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Good luck for all of those applying this year! If anyone has any questions about the program or anything else ask me on my instagram @frankieda.pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa1111applicant Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hi! I applied in Nov, but I have not heard anything yet. I know that EVMS is competitive, but how can I stand out more as a 22 year old recent grad from UVA(sGPA: 3.5, cGPA: 3.7, 2000 and counting PCE, 90+ shadow)? I heard they take older applicants with more experience, but I am ready to be a PA asap! I am scared that my age is a disadvantage. Any advice or thoughts? Also how can I become a stronger applicant?

hopetobepa Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Does anyone know if EVMS offers any tours or open houses? This is my first application cycle and I have gotten a few acceptances but EVMS is my top choice and I am having trouble deciding if it is worth it to wait until June to see if would even get an interview there or attend one of the other schools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you will first get an email that your application is eligible for review. THEN early June, if selected, you will get an invite through email to sign up for an interview! They usually offer two dates for interviews. However, they could always change the process. So just look out for emails. They do most of their communication through email. You can also check your PURL! Which is go.evms.edu/yourfullname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chondo Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Yes! It’s a long process but SO worth it ! there are a lot of students who started the next CASPA cycle while waiting to hear back from EVMS! even though the deadline is in March, they don’t look at the applications in depth until after the deadline. I think they may start to review them but due to them being a NONROLLING school, they don’t do any selection til after their deadline. Our deadline for our class did get extended a little which could be why we found out in June about interviews! It does help to look back at the other years forums to get an ‘idea’ of time frame !

ponds Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Good luck to those that have submitted! Should be hearing about your apps being complete and thus are eligible for review soon. EVMS interviews in July, so you’ll hear back about interview invites in June, since they’re non rolling and a later deadline…. it will go into next CASPA. Keep that in mind. Good luck guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAian Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hi. I was wondering if anyone's gotten an email beyond the one with the subject "EVMS PA Program Application Received." I'm thinking there will be a subsequent one after they verify you've met the pre-reqs, CASPer, and other EVMS app requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2PA Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 PAian last year it took about a week and half to get another email stating the application was eligible for review from the admissions committee. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
