en1195 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey fellow UDM applicants, Started a new thread for this cycle, as all others are from last year! Hope we can support each other here, answer questions, and if accepted find roommates too! The deadline for supplementary submission is quickly approaching, Feb 15,2013!!! Good Luck!

Malenaf1228 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good luck to you as well! This is my second time applying to UDM (didn't get an interview the first time). Hopefully with my increase in hours, volunteer experience, and GPA, I'll be lucky enough to get an interview. I just received an email saying that my application is ready for review and that they start reviewing applications in January. Maybe they wont keep us waiting as long as last yr! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoSU16PAS Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 This is my first time applying to UDM. I mailed my supplemental application about two weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet. I've taken all prerequisites except for one, which I am taking right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en1195 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I was interviewed last year, and thought the staff and students were very welcoming. I asked for an analysis of my app after I was not accepted. They said to increase my GRE score ( it is 293) and increase my prereqs and GPA which both go up as you complete the prereqs. Hopefully, this time will go more smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malenaf1228 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 My feedback was similar, and I improved most of what they suggested, however I did not re-take the GRE. I took the older version of the GRE and received a 980 the first time and a 1010 the second, with a 5.5 on the writing. The feedback from other schools said not to waste my money on retaking it, so I didn't. Hopefully that decision doesn't hurt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also hoping it doesn't hurt me. Moreover, I didn't realize you couldn't change your data after submitting to other schools. so, now I have to submit my previous material. Although my reasons for wanting to be a PA haven't changed stated on my PS, I wanted to offer new LORs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en1195 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was wondering if any applicants were putting a cover letter with their resume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lelawadi Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So for those of you who have applied in previous years, how long does it take for them to get back with us regarding interviews, etc? I sent my application in early November and I know they don't start reviewing things until now but the wait kills me haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lelawadi Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 From other threads in the past years, it seems like March, around the 1st week is the earliest when people were finding out. Hopefully it's soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesred Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If you receive an interview, you should be notified by mid-March. Interviews will start shortly after and last through end of April. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relbathy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 3.34 cumulative, 3.7 science at Wayne state university. I don't remember how many patient care hours I think roughly 4000-6000 in offices and on the oncology / hospice floor at St. John hospital and I've been there for 6.5 years. Idk what else is considered stats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddjillian Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2011. My GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5, with science GPA a little higher. I have about 5,000 paid patient care hours and about 700 volunteer patient care hours. I've been working as a medical assistant for a cardiologist ever since I graduated from UofM, and worked as a nursing assistant during school. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgarcia Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 One of the moments we've all been waiting for. Good luck to those who have received an interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherm1cn Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for the info! I just kind of wanted to see where I stand because as of now no call for an interview, so that isn't looking to good for me:( but thank you both for the info! And congrats!

trev9901 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sherm1cn, I wouldn't be too concerned yet. After reading the threads from previous years it looks like calls go out for interviews about a week before the scheduled interview date. I'm waiting along with you! Congrats to relbathy and reddjillian and good luck Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
