PAdreaming224 Posted July 17, 2023 Just submitted my application last week and now seeing people already interviewed? Are they spreading out interview dates. Also how'd the interviews go! Good luck to all who interviewed! Quote

Ritu1164 Posted July 17, 2023 Just applied last week. I hope I'm not too late in applying... I got an email saying that there are reviewing my application. Quote
Healthcarerocks Posted July 18, 2023 I got an invitation to interview June 9th but had to reschedule due to the last minute interview. I just interviewed July 14th, which was the first official session. Interviews are going to be carried out through the fall, and the deadline to apply is September 1st. Don’t feel discouraged! I submitted my CASPA mid-May and that’s why I got the first session. I talked to a lot of students there and most of them interviewed late last cycle (i.e September). All the faculty there are so sweet, and you can tell they actually read your application. There were three interviews; two were with two faculty members each and one was with the director. The interviews are very conversational, so don’t be stressed out! Let me know if you have any questions! Quote

I assumed on the Monday after the interview, but I haven’t heard anything back yet either. It could take a week or two before we hear anything back, since they are still teaching the current students. Quote

microscopicblackhole Posted July 20, 2023 I didn't know this program was an option until a nurse I work with mentioned it today! She's doing her NP through them and LOVES Ursuline! I trust her judgement and their curriculum looks great. I just applied today, while I took my lunch break at work. I live locally and, if I got in, I wouldn't have to move away from the life I built here, which is a big deal for me. My GPA from undergrad is awful, but I've shown much higher academics in the last five years with a MS degree and post-bacc classes. I have a lot of healthcare and volunteer hours, and I trust all of my LORs. Do you guys get the sense that they are as holistic as they say they are? I hate being judged by other programs for the GPA I received ten-ish years ago, and it's really breaking me down lately. Fingers crossed for me, guys! All of mine are crossed for you all Quote

All of mine are crossed for you all I wouldn’t worry about your GPA! They do seem very holistic in their review, and if you showed an upward trend then you should be fine! They mainly want to see how dedicated you are to becoming a PA and if you are able to get along with the other candidates. A lot of the Ursuline students said that they didn’t have the best GPA and still got in. You got this! Just show them how much of an asset you’d be to their program! Best of luck! 1 1 Quote

pocketsizedPA Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) I interviewed today. It was amazing. A bit later, on the drive back, I got the call that I was accepted! I’m so excited first time applicant. Low gpa. High PCE. Ursuline is as Wholistic as it gets! Edited July 21, 2023 by pocketsizedPA 2 Quote
abcd12345 Posted July 22, 2023 Congrats!!! Anyone know if this means that if you haven't gotten any news after your interview, it's probably a rejection/ waitlist then? Quote

There’s still another day of interviews in two weeks and a possible one more day. (They haven’t decided if they’re adding another day or not). Don’t lose hope! 1 Quote

Given the tight window with interview days, do you think that if I submitted this past week I even have a shot? Quote

I'm wondering if they filled up most of their seats. I was notified July 10th that my app was in review and would hear more soon, but seeing how many interviews and have been done + acceptances, they seem like they are almost full Quote

I also didn’t receive an email that my application was received, outside of the general CASPA one. Should I email them? How long did it take you? Normally, I would give it a week or so, but I’m thinking of emailing if I don’t get a confirmation of receipt from the program by Wednesday based on other responses I’m seeing here. I’m nervous now that there will only be one more interview date and they’ll fill the class. Quote
