amd22 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I recently decided to change my career path from medical school to PA. I was wondering what the general timeline for submitting the application is. Is submitting in July considered a late application? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggySRNA Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 June/July is an appropriate time to submit your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddisilvestro Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 July is only late if you are applying to the June/July deadline programs. July is still an early submission deadline in the eyes of the majority of programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindi23 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hello, July is not too late, considering that your PA programs general deadlines are in fall sometime and they are on rolling admissions. It generally takes about a year to apply (start applications in summer, don't start until the following summer/fall). Some programs start in January, in which case everything is bumped up a bit. It takes a while to complete CASPA, supplemental applications, wait for interviews, attend interviews, and then get notified of acceptances. Then, you have to wait several months usually before you start. Personally, I submitted my CASPA early June, attended interviews in Sep/Oct/Nov and then knew where I was attending by end of November of 2014.. I do not start until this coming August 2015! Hope that helps:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAGuy55 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 June/July is great. Most programs are around this time. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlove23 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi, I would like to know , what determines the deadline for CAPSA? It seems that each school has a different deadline. I am fairly new to this whole process and would like to know when would be the best time to apply for the programs I am interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddisilvestro Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 CASPA offers programs nine deadlines: June 15, July 15, August 1, September 1, October 1, November 1, December 1, January 15, and March 1. These deadlines are offered for many reasons and programs select the deadline that best fits in with their admissions process and timelines for interviews and decisions to be made and offered to each selected applicant. The best time to apply to any program is 'early'. How that is defined by each program is different but it is best to get your application in as soon as possible, since many PA programs have rolling admissions or rolling review.
