Sincerely, Sara CCPA Program - FAQ - PDF.pdf 88.07 kB · 1 download Hi, The essay portion of the application is confusing me. It says write a brief statement ... please limit response to 5000 words or less. See attached image. There is no place to add this statement. There are five other essays to write. The first two of which seem similar. That is a lot of essays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson01 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Apologies for the error on the application site, the form should only be the 5 smaller essays. Our Admissions department is aware of the technical issue and it will be fixed shortly. Please feel free to continue with the application by filling out the 5 smaller essays. Please note that the maximum word count is 3500, however there is no need to fulfill the maximum by any means if the question prompt has been adequately addressed. For the virtual information sessions we will be sending out registration information to those who have filled out the goolgeform. We will be having one as soon as next week (July 14th) and throughout the month of July and August. If you would like to receive emails from our department about upcoming Online Information Sessions please fill out this GoogleForm. We will be sending webinar registration emails to those who sign up. Hope that helps! Edited July 10, 2020 by swilson01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLPALA Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If you would like to be recognized as part of the hometown scholars program how do you know which clinics qualify. Also is the only requirement to have your recommended email over the letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWell24 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello All, Is anyone else experiencing issues with the essay portion?

Lesliep143 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Me too. Still waiting on my manager to submit. Just unfortunate at such an odd timing as she's been literally so busy and I hate to keep bugging her. One side of me is being patient and the other side of me is like "pedal to the metal sister, come onnnn" lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujuB Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hi Sara My name is Judy Garcia, and I was in the online informational sessions last month. Hope you are doing well. I wanted to ask how will we know when our transcripts have been received, I am checking on the application and I do not see anything that states if they have been received. I ordered them over two weeks ago and I want to make sure they have been received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjahmc Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Where do we send our transcripts to ? Which email accepts the electronic transcripts (PDF) and/or which address for schools that only send paper copies of transcripts? I didn't see where this info was listed on the program page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once all the items needed for the online application part (through AMP in Admissions) then your information will be sent to the CCPA Department. If all the items meet the criteria you will be sent an email regarding the next steps (online access to the learning modules). If you have questions at all please reach out to admissions@atsu.edu Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thanks. I received a reply after emailing about it. For any electronic transcripts, they can also be sent to 'admissions@atsu.edu'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do they send the modules to everyone who applies? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application needs to be reviewed by the admissions team for completeness and verification of transcripts, GPA, letters of recommendation, etc...that can sometimes take a while depending on when all the documents are finally on file and then for admissions to review each applicant. Then after they have reviewed them we are notified of the number of applicants ready to move on to the online modules. We have been waiting for a sufficient amount of completed applications to move on to the next phase of the admissions process. Hope that helps!
