Madii Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) 5 hours ago, chelsterzzz said: mmm i might not help too much.. since I’m one of the lower gpa applicants but well rounded i say for not having science major too 2.89 overall 2.91 science 10k+ hands on patient hours - medical assistant in family practice (currently), urgent care, infectious disease clinic, aesthetics, pediatrics 100 shadowing hours PA Few hundred volunteer hours - currently animal shelter extra curricular: was Vice President PrePA club at my University Idk if that helped enrolled in masters of science program for medical nutrition (last year I didn’t have this but still got interview here but got rejected) Part of Hometown/CHC scholar this year Thank you so much. Your gpa gives me hope. My stats are: cGPA 3.02 science gpa 3.3 PCE 2400 Shadowing 100 Volunteering 55. Have 150 hours more but those are from a long time ago I thought my PCE was 3000+, but I realized most programs only look at paid hours as I have 600+ hours during my medical assistant program where I worked with patients as a medical assistant. So I think that would count towards education hours rather than PCE. So I have 2400 paid ones. I want to increase that to 3000+, so I will do overtime and increase my science gpa too in case this cycle doesn’t work out. But first, I am waiting for an interview for this cycle first and keeping my hope btw you mean you got interview for this program and go rejected last year or that was for the nutrition program?

Yeah sorry I got an interview for this program without the masters but got rejected and wanted to make myself a better applicant as well as further my education. And you got thissss!!! I’ve been an MA for 6 years also so that’s why I have lots of hours plus working full time while going to school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodlefish23 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I was reading the thread form last year and a lot of people that interviewed mentioned they were very confused by the process. They said not a lot of personal questions were asked but many seemed irrelevant. I'm wondering if it will be the same this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carly3280 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Did anyone who received Step2B and Step2C receive a confirmation email after scheduling their interview? I haven’t yet and I’m not sure if I should reach out to the school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am bummed I thought I did well on 2a and turned it in early or mid January. I have an acceptance elsewhere so that's good but ATSU is in my hometown so I am really disappointed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of my interview said may/june I interviewed 2/13/24 and I'm pretty sure they said April. What I wrote down about May/June was that by then is when rotation cite placement should be done or what they're trying to have done by then. Honestly it was a lot of info, I could have heard wrong.
