balefnegh Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Just got an invitation to interview for two dates next week 11/15 and 11/16. This was in the email Important Accreditation Information It’s critical for applicants to be aware that our accreditor, ARC-PA, has changed the program’s accreditation status from “continuing” to “probation” and, as a condition of this action, it’s possible that ARC-PA may restrict our ability to matriculate a new class into our program in Fall 2024. Although we are currently accepting and considering applications for the Fall 2024 class in MSPAS, we are not yet certain that ARC-PA will authorize our program to seat a class in Fall 2024. We are working diligently with ARC-PA to upgrade our accreditation status in order to make this possible. https://prospective.westernu.edu/health-sciences/mspa/accreditation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamchu Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 If they are currently on probation and ARC-PA has not allowed them to matriculate a class and their next review according to their website is not until March 2025, then how do they expect a 2024 class to start?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly sounds like an opportunity for them to make money off applications to me, which is extremely frustrating. Based off their website it seems like they even knew they were on probation before the application cycle even opened but they chose not to say anything because they were trying to figure it out. They also keep including in their emails that they don't even know if they can matriculate a class lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthemoon Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 For those of you who received an interview invite, will you guys be going through with the interview? Also, how do you even begin to answer the question if they ask about why we are still choosing to go here knowing there is no guarantee that they will matriculate students?

Based on their website, ARC-PA may grant them permission to matriculate students before the next review in 2025 but only if they are making good progress. What I don't understand is what happens if they lose accreditation in 2025 and they offer seats. It would be like what happened this year all over again.

I applied back in May (before the probation news) and I have already been accepted somewhere else. Even if they get accrediated before 2025, I would not want to go here. It's possible to withdraw your application via the portal because I did that! It was really easy - no need to email anyone. However, I don't think Western or CASPA will refund us for that application fee. I've been keeping tabs on PA facebook groups too, and I haven't seen any successes of people getting refunded. You can try emailing them though?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiousfuturePA Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Does anyone know when they will get back regarding decisions?
