Peter Bread Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hey guys, The time has come! Here we can discuss all things UW, CASPA, interviews etc. I'm interested to know when people are turning in their CASPA (it's taking them forever to verify my transcripts) and what programs within UW people are applying for. I hope to have everything ready to go and shipped out by the end of June. I'm applying for the MPH/PA dual degree program as well as the on-campus option. Looking forward to the discussion! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktsterry Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 My CASPA is in and I'm finishing up the supplemental tonight to send in. Fingers crossed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy1 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 CASPA verified my application on 5/12. Is the supplemental application by invitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Bread Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 No, everything is through CASPA. The supplemental application is just the essays and some of the other short answer questions that they have directly through CASPA. I called Julie today and she cleared that up for me, she said it's the first year that they're doing it this way. It's poorly worded on their website, she said she's working on changing it.

tavenne323 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Applying again. Just applied for DE last cycle. Had an interview and was waitlisted. Still haven't heard a definitive "no" from them but assuming it is. Kind of disappointing. They said they would email any waitlisted when the class was filled. Regardless, I am applying again, this time just to the on-campus program because I really like the program.

Peter Bread Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's a good program, very competitive as a result. No shame in how far you made it last year and as a repeat applicant, I'm sure you'll have even better chances this round.What do you think was the greatest weakness in your application? Have you already turned everything in? What were the interviews like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda8990 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 CASPA was verified end of May and I applied for the on-campus program. Also, I am an out of state applicant but have heard awesome things about this PA program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetlew Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Question for you all! The CASPA and supplemental applications are due on August 1st, 2016. Do they want applications to be VERIFIED by this date? Or just submitted? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetlew Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have been looking around on CASPA and on their website, and all I see is that August 1st is the "due date." I didn't see a specification on whether it needs to be submitted or actually verified by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katesters Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 https://portal.caspaonline.org/caspaHelpPages/participating-programs/index.html It looks like they haven't specified on CASPA what the status of the application needs to be so I don't know, sorry! You could try contacting the school and asking them. Have you submitted your application yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetlew Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks for all your help! No, I have not submitted yet but will be submitting at the end of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic3 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Did any of you get an email confirming that they received your application? I was just going through my school list and realized this is the only school where I haven't received that. I was verified for UW on 6/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsylte Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It looks like nothing until December judging from previous years posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDL1994 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 So, they will not be confirming the reception of our applications then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanders87 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 So, they will not be confirming the reception of our applications then? I just emailed them this morning because I was wondering about that. If I get an answer ill let you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDL1994 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Awesome! Madison is one of my top choices, so I'm eager to hear what they have to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acolsch Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Everyone, My application was submitted September 7th, and I have only received the confirmation email. I am really worried because I have unfortunately already received two rejections from other programs. My stats are as follows: GPA: 3.59 Science GPA: 3.35 (I know this is low) Verbal GRE: 157 Quantitative GRE: 160 Writing GRE: 4.5 Hours of Patient Care Experience:1700 Hours of Shadowing: 100 Is it completely hopeless to wait for an email about an interview? Especially with such a low science GPA. I also feel like I submitted 3 weeks ago, and if I was going to get an interview invite I feel as though I would have gotten it already :( This is my first time applying and I am afraid I will not get into any of the schools I applied for.

UW-Madison doesn't send out rejections or interview invites until the middle of December. It's definitely hard to stay patient, but stay positive! Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mb1234 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I got an interview invite a few days ago. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDL1994 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Which program did you apply to? On campus? I thought invites didn't go out until the end of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc2012 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I also thought invites didn't go out until mid December. That's what their website says at least. When is your interview scheduled for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted you to know that the deadline for applying to UW is August 1st, I'm surprised that CASPA even let you submit it late. Also, I submitted back in July and never received a confirmation email, nor anything about interviews yet which it seems is the norm for this program. Your stats really aren't bad. Yes, sGPA could be higher but you did excellently on the GRE! Although UW doesn't look at GRE scores, other schools will and that will help you out tremendously. I get how you feel, that's the beauty of this forum. I've been fretting about my status for months now with no immediate end in sight. Be proud of your application and all the hard work you've put in to get to this point. Negative thoughts and feelings are normal but don't let them dominate. Not sure if this is helpful but a lot of people that get accepted are on their second or third application cycle. Keep on keepin' on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
