So... submitted my application in May and was verified in late May. GPA is an overall of 3.63 and a science of 3.55. I'm involved with a lot of extra activities. Just submitted the SJT. Haven't heard back and getting worried.

just received an invite to interview! i submitted 9/6 on a whim. i am frankly very surprised. i was not expecting to hear back at all.

they did reject my a&p I/II community college credits because they are only 3 credit hours each (both included a lab). they transferred together as a 5 credit hour anatomy class for my bachelors degree. i took a 5 credit physiology class this summer. does anyone know if chatham is open to discussing situations like this?

edit: just found out about their deficit problems  huge bummer if the program gets cut!

i'm not from the area so i can't speak to any details! it seems like the previous president managed to run the place into the ground with expensive projects. they're currently "restructuring" the university. from what i can tell the graduate programs are a decently reliable revenue stream. the pa program is unlikely to be on the chopping block for now, at least. i can imagine they will struggle to retain faculty with the cuts to employee healthcare and salaries, though. 

also worth mentioning that eileen petula has a history of trying to "silence" faculty at struggling colleges. it's possible the chatham pa program faculty may not be able to speak freely about the future of the program.

it's very, very sad to see.

I submitted June and still haven’t heard anything back either. I’m still hopeful! I was thinking about maybe contacting them early October and asking them about the status of my application.

I thought they only had 2 interview dates...like 1 in September and 1 in October? Am I mistaken??

Are they rolling admissions? bc it wouldn't make sense how ppl that applied after us got interviews

Someone told me that they take top people first and then other interview dates they take the next tier. So could be for this case when people that applied after us got an interview first.
