ah54495 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I just wanted to start a thread for Class of 2016, starting August 2014. I'm not sure if anyone else uses this forum, if so post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malamed Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hey guys..I'm getting my application and prospective schools all in order..I threw out ECU after I saw the last admitted class' averages... SO HIGH. I know they are averages..but still.. I am in state and have a strong app other than my GPA and GRE(I've retaken classes). Should I even apply? I don't want to waste my money on a school that will reject me anyway. In state, sGPA 2.8, cGPA 3.19 GRE 296 :/ I KNOW I need to get my GPA up and I will work on that during there year for next years apps, but I'd like to apply and get in now as this is my second year applying to PA schools.. Also gonna rock the MCAT this summer so I can update my app with that..That has to look good too right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarciKiser Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Honestly, I think it depends on what it is that makes your app "strong". From what I've heard, ECU takes its board pass rates very seriously. With regards to the MCAT, when trying to get into any PA or med school it's really only to your advantage to go outside their admissions criteria if the rest of your application is at or above-average and you're trying to stand out. Admissions committees have to wade through hundreds of applications, and use a standard matrix that includes grades, GREs, and health-care experience to weed through them. Given that your GRE score is 16 points below their most recent class's average, (and 11 points below Elon's, 13 points below Duke's, 7 points below Campbell's, and 10 points below Methodist's) it might help you more to study for and retake the GRE, since that's the number that you know the schools care about.

PAin17 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I haven't heard anything to date. From what I have read, it looks like we have another month to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda Davton Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hey all! I attended the 8/01 info session and they stated they are reviewing applications as we speak, so maybe we will hear something about interviews towards the end of August!

Sharonda Davton Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I just received the email that all info has been received and they have sent it to admissions committee - 8/14 Now time to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda Davton Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hello has anyone received an invitation for an interview? This is what I received today: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda Davton Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Did anyone receive this email as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissi Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I did as well. Any idea what it means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda Davton Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The only thing I can think of is maybe they are sending email now for each step in the process, hopefully! What are your thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissi Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 My guess would be that we are not being offered an early interview. I'm just basing this on the email we received prior to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda Davton Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I just read the posts from last year and it seems as if the first waive of invitations for interviews weren't sent out until Oct. 1st, so there is still hope.

HighlanderPrePA Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 My understanding of the email you received and the one I got confirming my submission would be that you were not offered an early interview, but I don't work at ECU so I could be wrong. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arosswoods Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Anybody get a early interview email? I got an email this morning too (about a minute before Sharonda's was sent) but it was just answering a transcript question, nothing about when to expect to hear from them. I'm hoping that means they are selecting for early interviews soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm781 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hey everyone! I am from the ECU PA Class of 2016 - just started about 3 weeks ago! If anyone has any questions feel free to shoot me a message and I'll do my best to answer. Last year I know there were interview invites extended through at least December, so if they have not changed anything there is no reason to panic :) The waiting can be really hard, but there's nothing you can do to speed it up so try not to stress. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
