tthn17 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I just looked on their website, and it looks like they're extending the due date of the supplemental to a to-be-determined date if you haven't submitted your secondary application yet. Also, they're making the secondary free and are supposedly going to refund people who have already paid the fee. https://paeducation.ucsd.edu/faq.html#Will-the-Secondary-Application- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totPA Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just so everyone knows: They put their secondary on hold due to a delay in getting the masters degree approval. They will re-open it when they receive approval and everyone has 30 days to complete the secondary. Everyone who has completed it will be refunded and those who have not submitted it will be free or charge. They will notify everyone via email when it opens. I hope this clears up confusion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilmiapa Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Can someone please post all of the secondary questions? So that those of us that haven’t started can plan ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilmiapa Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Does anyone know the specific character count or work count? I think someone said it earlier but didn’t specify character or words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbeanz99 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I personally am not feeling too good about UCSD's PA program. It has been radio silence for a while. They probably still need to get a lot of things in order. The Jan start timeline was ambitious. I was hopeful to have it as an option but have committed elsewhere for Jan start. Hopefully, the first class has a good experience with the program. I also cannot justify the estimated COA of 300K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the first class has a good experience with the program. I also cannot justify the estimated COA of 300K they sent out an email 2 months ago saying the following: “We are writing to inform you that the anticipated launch of our program in January 2024 has met a slight delay as we continue to fine tune all administrative and institutional requirements for the master’s degree approval and its related University processes. Our anticipated program launch has shifted to June 2024.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbeanz99 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Yup got that email. I mean it’s unfortunate it had to get pushed back, but I guess better to make sure things are in order than being over ambitious and starting in January without being ready 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on attending but forgot to reserve a spot.. Yup! I attended the session and it seems to be the same information as the previous ones. They did not have an answer as to when the accreditation will occur. They did not receive word from the ARC PA yet but they mentioned they will update us as soon as a decision is made. interviews are likely to be delayed due to their delayed start. (Potentially later in the winter like December). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
