I'm just trying to understand fully because this school is my top choice for a few reasons. Hoping next year I can scoop another interview/ waitlist if they look at me again.

gek24 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Does anyone know when they said we will hear more information about the waitlist? Will we get interviewed again? I am just curious how this process will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitarytoPA Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hope this isn't an indication of how trashy Ursuline's PA program is appearing to many right now, considering I was rejected with out an interview in September. I get it's competitive among all schools, but seriously? Have you considered a career in nursing? My name is Dwane Newsom and I support all of Ursuline College's incoming Second Degree Accelerated Nursing program (SDAP) students. Your contact information was shared with me from our Physician Assistants department and I wanted to reach out with an alternative pathway into healthcare. Ursuline's SDAP program is a 15-month program that prepares you for a new career in nursing. We are proud to share that our most recently graduating SDAP cohort had a 100% NCLEX pass rate. SDAP is also affordably priced at about $48,000 for the entire 15-month program. We have cohorts that begin 3 times a year, in January, May, and August. Based on your experience preparing for PA school, you likely have all the prerequisites complete to begin in Ursuline's SDAP program right away. Possibly as soon as January! If you are interested in learning more, please consider RSVPing for an upcoming virtual information session. Or if you'd like to apply right away, you can complete our free, 5-minute SDAP Fast App and we will automatically import your transcripts and additional materials from CASPA to (likely) complete your application.

Got the same email. It honestly feels kinda inappropriate and a slap in the face getting an email like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, for sure, I let them know how I felt and got several e-mails back, according to ursuline it's normal practice to give rejected names to other programs and most PA schools do this...

I felt the same way getting that email but reminded myself this is normal. At least three other programs I applied to have referred me to their PhD, pharmacy, MS, MBA (?) and BSN programs. It definitely stings and hurt a little extra coming from my top choice. But it is actually a standard practice by schools to get more enrollment.
