DedeM Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 1 hour ago, PixelyPirate said: What do they mean by "the Spring 2025 cycle hasn't fully open[ed]"? Do they mean for other programs at Chapel Hill? CASPA has been open for almost 5 months so it's not like they haven't had time to prepare. Hopefully we'll hear something soon! I think it’s because the Jan 2024 cycle was interviewed and accepted in May of this year. The program seems to be in the middle of a transition, so there’s probably some hiccups as they finalize things for this cohort. But yeah, hoping to hear something before October!

68WEMTto65DPAC Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Seems like they updated their website: Quote Complete a CASPA application by October 1, 2023. A UNC supplemental application will be sent out. At this time, we are working with the University regarding this. Due to this, we will NOT be holding applicants to the previously published October 15, 2023 deadline for supplemental applications. Once a supplemental application is sent to the applicant by the University, they will have 14 calendar days to complete it and submit the application fee of $95. We will update this website as we have more clarity on when the supplemental will be available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them last week and this was their response: Thank you for reaching out. We are still awaiting the university to make the supplemental application live. Feel free to check back in a couple of weeks for any updates. We will also update our website once we know more information.

FuturePA2324 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I feel like their applicant pool is going to be very slim because by the time they begin interviewing, many programs Winter/Spring programs will have already begun. Every other school I applied to has completely finished sending out interview invites and most are done interviewing and have filled their class.

68WEMTto65DPAC Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 TLDR of the email they sent out today clarifying the situation. The university hasn’t activated the platform the PA program (and I’m assuming other programs) uses for their supplemental applications. Seems like they are waiting as much as we are. They will be sending another email once the platform is running. Supplementals will roll shortly after. No date yet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some supplemental applications require an additional essay not included on the CASPA application but for the most part they are all redundant. You have to keep in mind that oftentimes it isn't the PA program that requires the supplemental application, rather the universities offices of graduate admissions. You are not only applying to the PA program, you are applying to the University. Only PA programs use CASPA, all other graduate programs either use their own application service or apply directly through graduate admissions. But the office of graduate admissions needs to have a way to centralize all applications from all programs, hence, the supplemental application. Does it feel like an easy cash grab? Sure. But the supplemental application is not the program's decision, it's the university's. That's why they had to wait so long to even send the supplemental application, because the university didn't have the portal ready until last week. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caffeinestat Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Does anyone else have a full body panic reaction every time they get an email from UNC at this point? I’ve checked my supplementary application six times to make sure I’ve paid my fee lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
