ceosborn Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hey all, Quick question. On their application you are asked to convert quarter units to semester units. However, a 4 unit class only calculates to a 2.67 in semester units, so this course will not count towards the prerequisites since 3 semester units are required? Or would that round to 3? Thanks!!

My college started out with the quarter system and when I put in 5 credits, it converted it to 4, and when I put in 4, it converted it to 3. So I'm assuming it rounds to 3… For everyone out there, when did you all receive a confirmation that they have everything? My CASPA has been mailed, and their site says that I've completed the supplemental. They sent an email saying they would let me know when my file is complete… so should I assume that it is? Does it usually take some turnaround time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummph Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My college started out with the quarter system and when I put in 5 credits, it converted it to 4, and when I put in 4, it converted it to 3.

You would need to take 5 quarter credits to have a minimum of 3 semester credits. We don't round up. We will look for an additional course that might give you the required credits. But that is all.

zuri223 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 @zuri223 was that the first email you received or a second one? I submitted to CASPA in August but had to wait to submit my supplemental in December after completion of a course. I received an email Dec 20th after I had submitted and then on Jan 2 received the "application complete / under review" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabePA-S Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 @rtn89, All I have received so far is an email stating that my application file is complete. EVMS does not have rolling admissions so I don't expect to hear anything for a while. I was looking back at previous years and it seems like the program will begin sending interview invites out in June. The dates for the interviews are located on the website. I can't remember them off the top of my head but they are towards the end of July, I believe. Now we get to sit back, pretend to relax and wait to hear. Good luck to you!!

ummph Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 WannabePA-S is correct: We received 2200 applications, and will be reviewing all the completed ones through the end of May. Then in early June invitations will go out to about 160 people for 80 seats in our class. Interviews are 1/2 day for each candidate and held on July 25th, 26th, and 28th. In early August we send out invitations for our class until we fill all of the seats. We usually maintain a wait list as well. Classes will begin in January 2015. Good Luck to everyone.

CrossfitEMT Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 ummph, looking at the application stats posted on the EVMS website, the average number of applications is 1296. I have a question about that. Any idea on why the large increase in appliactions (2200 as stated above)? Also, It appears that only half are actually reviewed. How is that determined? Thanks in advance for your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummph Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 CrossfitEMT, We receive more than 2200 applications, and they all require some level of review. By the time you separate out the ones that do not have all of our prerequisites, or do not meet minimums for citizenship status, and grades (mainly grades) the number drops a fair amount. Then several hundred each year do not complete a supplemental application (no fee associated with this). So that's were the 12 hundred or so comes from. With CASPA, it is easy to select additional schools without necessarily going to each website to make certain that you meet their requirements.
