prepalj Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I just heard about the new program starting in January in New Orleans... Anyone know anything about if the class is full or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieLynn Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I've been in contact with them. The due date for the app is November 1st, but I think that just means your CASPA has to be marked "complete" by then. From what I've been able to gather talking to them, they have been looking at applications throughout the month of October as they come in, and they are going to start sending out interview invitations shortly after November 1st, so no, they haven't started to fill their class yet. The person I spoke with said there was alot of interest in the program, though, and that they're getting alot of applications. That made me nervous, but here's to hoping I get a spot!

prepalj Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks for sharing your information! I can't believe they haven't started sending out any interview invites yet with the program starting in just a couple of months! Although I know that is just how it usually goes with programs when they first get their provisional accreditation. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesr_gordon Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 It is for January of 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieLynn Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 It is for January of 2014 I don't think this is correct. I've been on the phone with them repeatedly for the last few months, and they have told me they will be starting classes in January of 2013. prepalj: I know, everyone I've talked to has lamented that the application process is so very short, since they just got provisionally approved at the start of October. At least it definitely won't be long now before we get word, unlike the months of waiting it seems like other schools put you through. Did you apply with LSU NOLA?

rrasbe1 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I got an email Nov 1st, which also said it would be followed up by a letter in the mail. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieLynn Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Wow, congratulations! If you don't mind me asking (and feel free to decline to answer whatever you don't want to): What kind of stats do you have? Are you in-state? Was your CASPA mailed to them by the deadline, or just marked "complete"? Did you get an automated mass-email or just a personal one? Thanks, I'm trying to stay positive, and hopefully I'll be posting on here soon that I got an email too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxp6756 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I received an interview invite too so excited with the possibility of being a member of the first class to graduate from this school! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrasbe1 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi Stephanie, I am an in-state applicant, and my CASPA was mailed by the deadline. I'm not sure if my email was the same as the one sent to others who received an invitation to interview. I do know that they are doing interviews through tomorrow and mailing letters shortly thereafter, although I'm not exactly sure when. I will be crossing my fingers and saying my prayers until then. Best of luck everyone =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svasan1 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I dont know if it is just me, but I thought this program was suppose to start in 2015. I just found out today that my friend has an interview there this week and I hate that i missed the deadline to apply. It was posted to CASPA Oct 2 and the deadline was Nov. 1, I just feel like that was not enough time for applicants to even know about applying much less actually getting of their information sent to them. I hope they consider extending the deadline, but I was told their class starts Jan 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxp6756 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I completely understand! I feel so stressed out looking for a nice, safe place to live.

jwinner13 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Congratulations on your acceptances hxp6756 and rrasbel1. I guess im not getting an interview from LSU. Let me know if you need any help finding a place in New Orleans. I'm from here ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenth1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Could those of you who were accepted please post stats? I will be applying 2014 cycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfjkl123 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I was accepted into the first class as well! I don't know about the other 2 posters on here that were accepted but my interview process was very strange. They only asked me one question then told me about the program the rest of the time, seemed like they had their mind made up already! I am an in state applicant with a bachelors in nutrition from LSU. My grades were nothing special but the director commented on my patient experience and shadowing experience a few times in the interview. I had about 250 shadowing hours in various specialties and worked as a MA in an orthopedic clinic. I have also been working at Pennington Biomedical Research Center full time for the past 6 months (4 years total with student and transient positions). So I think my experience balanced out my average/below average GPA and GRE. Hope that helps and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxp6756 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 rrasbe1 I tried to start a FB group, but I have to have at least 1 other person in the group prior to making it! So if you want to add me as a friend prior to the group that would be great and then hopefully we can get others to join. http://www.facebook.com/heena.patel.94651774 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
