AnotherPrePA121 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I attended an online info session a few weeks ago and just wanted to start a topic. They said they had their visit to achieve provisional accreditation and were waiting on the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgreer Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Be very careful with this program. Last year they failed to earn accreditation after holding interviews, taking $1500 seat deposits, and indicating to us that the program was going to happen even until the very end when it should have been clear they weren't getting accredited. Some of the accepted students turned down seats at other programs The lack of open and honest communication was very upsetting to a lot of us. There's no way to know how the program would be run once if it ever materializes, but this is not a good start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherPrePA121 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Just got an email that they received accreditation, but I checked it on ARC-PA and couldn't find it yet. Would it be appropriate to ask to see the official paper? Also hesitant about the program but one step at a time. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAprincess Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I applied the next day after receiving the email that they had received provisional accreditation...I am very exciting for what the school has to offer! Awaiting for the accreditation to be posted on ARC-PA website. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed ARC-PA and they did confirm the Accreditation status. (Just wanted to make sure before I paid to apply) Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kywall14 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Does anyone know much about this program? The website makes the whole school look cheap and almost like a community college. I’m from out of state so I don’t know a lot about the schools on the East Coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted my application last year in the previous cycle, and they reached out to me this cycle to ask if I was still interested. So my case is a bit different. Almost everyone in the interview today was in the same boat, so it was SO nice to see so many people who didn’t get in to PA school last year get accepted this year!!! My stats weren’t super great. No shadowing, 30 volunteer hours, ~5k scribe hours, 3.6 cGPA, 3.0 sGPA! It’s all about dedication though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The faculty and staff were so welcoming and seems like it will be an amazing program. They seemed to truly care about their incoming students! I also liked that the interview process I was really able to show them who I was unlike some interviews I have had where they only looked at you as a number and asked very random questions. I know the other south colleges do very well so I have no doubt this program will as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrePANoodle Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hey, I’m also interviewing on the 31st. Stats were pretty ok, 296 gre, 3.67 overall gpa with 3.4 science. I have a lot of leadership hours and about 1800 pce. I’m sorry to those that went through that last year, but I’m interested in seeing what they’ve improved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
