derrickW06 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 First time applicant and the wait is going to be really hard. Spokane is my only choice. Good luck everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the opposite lol. Tacoma is 1st choice (by proximity), and Seattle 2nd. I would be elated to get into either though. About to turn my app in within the next week. Very excitinggggg!!! Good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogtime Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 First time applicant, aiming for Spokane! My PCE is only going to be like 2200 hours by the deadline, but I have a 10 year previous engineering career that I'm really hoping will make my application stand out. Crossing my fingers for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuenaS Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hey guys! Good luck on applying this cycle! Just a heads up on your 1st and 2nd campus options. MEDEX will only consider your 1st option. You will only be interviewed for that campus. Very very rare that they will offer you a spot for your 2nd option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashyPanda Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Finally got an email from UW that my application passed through the initial screening process and is going to the admission committee. I was starting to get worried that they forgot about me lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted it around 5/4 and I'm unsure when I got verified...I'm assuming it took almost a month since I got the email from them a couple of days ago.

derrickW06 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Kinda discouraged. Whoever reviewed my application was really distracted. They took classes from 2004 and 2008 but not 2009 and gave me credit for classes I'm not done with. It makes no sense and I have no one to reach out to. I sent an email over a week ago, no response.

Was this for the initial review or the faculty review? Did you receive a rejection? Or did they reach out to you for clarification? Sorry you're feeling discouraged. There is still time to apply to many other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a rejection nor clarification, which is the hard part. I have all my eggs in one basket. I'm not interested in anywhere else other than Spokane. It's just discouraging waiting ten days for a reply...every time. That's life, I guess. I will just wait and see how things unfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieElizabeth Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just wanted to offer a nugget of encouragement— sometimes it takes six months or longer but you FINALLY get accepted off the waitlist… with a week’s notice before classes start! Beyond thankful and excited for this. So keep the faith, everybody— it all works out how it’s supposed to! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcnamara Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Completed 5/25 and told I met initial screening on 6/9. Pretty hopeful as this is the only PA school I found so far that will let me study in Alaska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just wait and see how things unfold. I recommend you appeal this review. I had to appeal last year because they stated I did not meet criteria, but after I gave them my updated transcript and justification they passed my app on to the next step. I still got rejected last year (low GPA most likely) but definitely advocate for yourself if you know you’ve met the criteria! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Native Alaskan with a bunch of family in Anchorage so if I can study up there, I'll be pretty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotations can vary from Fairbanks, Bethel, Delta, Anchorage and more. However, I’ve seen posts about issues with Anchorage site and heard staffing shortages so not sure what this year will look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthn17 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Hello! I know this might be a silly question, but I just want to make sure I understand the prompt correctly. For the personal statement prompt, what does it mean when they state: "Remember to format the statements with space between paragraphs." They go on to list (4) different questions. I am debating between two thought processes: 1) Put a space in between the response for each numbered question. Meaning there would be a total of 4 paragraphs. 2) Put a space in between any and all paragraphs, and the answers to the prompt can be interwoven into the personal statement. Limitless paragraphs. If someone could help clarify, I would appreciate that! Edited June 22, 2023 by tthn17 Misspelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone could help clarify, I would appreciate that! So I numbered out my responses and had spaces between numbers, but one of my answers had two paragraphs, and I had the same spacing for it.

AspiringPA1001 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Completed my app 5/26 and moved onto faculty review 6/9! Hoping for better outcome this time! I was so nauseous after submitting it. These next few months will be long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so nauseous after submitting it. These next few months will be long It’s nerve racking for sure, waiting to hear if I make it to faculty review. What sites did you pick? I went Tacoma and Anchorage, was told MEDEX loves military at Tacoma, but I live in Alaska so that may limit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
