willz Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Hello, I'm filling out the CASPA and noticed the number of characters in each questions is limited to 250 characters (about 35 words). This is really strange. With only 35 words allowed it's hard to answer anything meaningful for an important question. Does anyone have the same experience?

Also if you don’t mind sharing your stats . Thank you , I’d appreciate it . My overall GPA isn’t that fantastic , but my science GPA is good. Hi, I got accepted at WCU and these were my stats; 3.96 Overall Non-Science GPA, 3.84 Overall Science GPA, 1410 healthcare hours, 234 leadership hours, and 750 Patient care hours. I didn’t have many PCE hours and still got accepted. If you are not satisfied with your gpa don’t get discourage because that not the only thing that matters, you won’t lose anything by applying. Wishing you the best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an interview tomorrow and I was wondering if you guys thought I needed to know about health care policies? If I'm being honest I don't know much about the latest policies so I think I would freeze up if asked about it. I'm trying to read up on a bunch of them now but there is so many!! As brodygrody mentioned a few comments before, we aren't allowed to discuss any particulars about the interview process for this school. Like any PA school interviews goes, be prepare for any question they might ask. You got this! Don't stay up too late and good luck with your interview tomorrow!

I also struggled with this when I was filling their application. It is about one to two sentence response. My suggestion is to answer the question as simple as possible and to the point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAmoney Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Same I was complete on October 17th and got an interview invite today. It’s in October 31st. I have never done a Mmi before so I’m scared a little but I’ll just do some research. I have only done traditional interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
