hooper3e23 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi guys, I know this is still way early in the cycle. But CASPA mailed my app to Drexel today as part of the first "wave" of applicants. When can I expect to recieve an email confirmation from Drexel and a decision on an interview schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koppma Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Last Year I submitted my Caspa application on May 24th. I got an email on the last week of July to interview on Aug 24th. That was the second interview of the cycle. I hope that helps you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooper3e23 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks Koppma! Are you attending Drexel now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdm1 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 My application went out with the first mailing, too. I have recieved receipt of application, along with an inquiry about when I was planning to take genetics (I haven't taken it yet because they're the only school that requires it, so I was taking the more common prerequisites first.) That's as far as it's gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooper3e23 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well it seems, at the very least, that they have begun to review your application since you received an email specifically asking about the genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelana Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi Hooper3e23! Here is my timeline: I e-submitted my application to CASPA on 9/24/2012 (yes, pretty late!:)). Drexel notified me that they received my application on 10/24/2012. On 12/19/2012 they sent me an invitation for an interview that were to take place on 01/11/2013. I interviewed on 01/11 and got an acceptance call at the end of January, 2013. Hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arosswoods Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What was the interview like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhansen11 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 What was the interview like? I had an interview with two faculty members and another interview with a current first year student. My interview seemed more like a conversation than just question and answer like at some other PA Schools that I interviewed. Just relax and sell yourself. You should believe that they need you.

caheiney Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I was wondering if people who received interviews would feel comfortable sharing stats? I got my application sent out mid July and was wondering if I am in the running for a interview. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful2014 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I submitted my application to CASPA on June 2, still have not heard anything so I am definitely starting to worry. . . Wondering if there is still a chance I could get an interview or whether they have already passed on my application. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful2014 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Rcreek: Thanks for sharing, congrats on the interview! If you don't mind me asking, is this the first year you applied to PA school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcreek Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Rcreek: Thanks for sharing, congrats on the interview! If you don't mind me asking, is this the first year you applied to PA school? Yes it is my first year and hopefully, my ONLY year applying. I was going to apply last year, but the timing was not right. I decided that waiting patiently one more year to get more experience, volunteering, shadowing, a genetics class under my belt, and take advantage of my wife's job promotion for our finances would be helpful. We also knew we would have another baby, which we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
