kaba29 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Hey Guys! My name is Andie. I applied to YPAO last cycle and was waitlisted. I loved this program before interviewing in the 2022/2023 cycle and fell for it even more after the post-interview. I applied on 5/12/23 and verified on 5/15/23. I received the call and email today; my app is now being reviewed. Good Luck to everyone! Edited May 23, 2023 by kaba29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonlinepas Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hi there, my name is Sarah and I'm a first-year student in the Yale PA Online program. I was in the same shoes as many of you exactly 1 year ago today and I know how nerve-racking the process can be. Feel free to reach out to me with questions – I am best reached on here or via Instagram @theonlinepas. I won't be able to answer any questions about interviews but can speak on my experience in the program thus far. Fingers crossed and good luck to all of you. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah, thank you so much for reaching out to us as applicants! I've been very impressed with everything I have read and seen about YPAO. It sounds amazing! I know that you have certain live virtual lectures/PBL, but I am curious how many hours a week of prerecoreded lectures you typically have? And beyond virtual and recorded classes/lectures, approximately how many hours do you and your classmates typically dedicate to other assignments and studying? Thanks again for being so gracious in offering to be a resource for us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlinepas Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Hello! Great question. We have 8 classes total. All lectures are prerecorded and the hours of lecture content varies by class and week. Some classes may have 4 hours of content for the week while other classes may have 20 minutes. I'd estimate on average there's a total of 10 hours of lecture content to go through for each week, although note that it will take longer to go through it if you're like me and like to pause the lecture to understand the concepts and make Anki cards/take notes. We have problem based learning (PBL) live Zoom sessions for 2 hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We also have clinical experience in early didactic (CEED) for 4 hours per week. Most of your time will be spent reviewing the lecture material, supplementing the material with outside resources, or completing assignments by the end of the week (typically 2-6 assignments which also varies by week). We all have lives outside of school and have been able to make time to spend with our families and friends. I'm at my computer most of the day but I do set aside a few hours per day to spend on self care and hanging out with loved ones. Hope that's helpful!

How long into the program did it take for you to find your rhythm? Edited May 29, 2023 by ArmyWifePA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that was helpful. I figured out a study routine that worked well for me around my first 4-6 weeks in the program and I felt significantly less stressed post-midterms once I knew what was to be expected. Many of us have been able to manage spending time with our spouses/kids, hobbies, working part-time (although not recommended by the program), etc. PA school is an adjustment but it will become less stressful once you find your rhythm. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrePAdadof4 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Hi everyone! This is my first application cycle, and I am in the process of buttoning up my CASPA application. I'm just curious, for those who have already applied, what was your approach to the optional 3000-character statement in the program materials section? I don't have any real issues that need explaining, but I've also heard never to leave anything blank that could be an opportunity to let the admissions committee get to know you. Am I overthinking this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I overthinking this? I wouldn’t leave this part blank, this is your chance to essentially explain any weak spots in your application. You can talk about anything you feel is important to mention so the admissions committee can see who you are. It’s my first time applying that’s how I interpreted it, and I wrote about my gpa being lower and what I’ve done to overcome it and how I plan to be a better student in the PA program. Not sure if that helps, but definitely don’t leave it blank in my honest opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
