My application was received by the University on May 3rd and my last reference put their recommendation on May 10th. I feel like it should have already been looked at i feel like you should have been looked at already too. one of the applicants from early June already was sent an interview. keep your head up you haven't had a rejection so your still up for the next interview dates. i was told its a scoring system , those who score the highest will get the interview. I copied and pasted it for you below in case for reference. Admissions Decision Process The application and admissions processes for the PA Studies Hybrid Program does not favor specific groups or individuals based on their personal or social identities. Student admissions decisions are made in accordance with these practices: Screening of Applications: Upon receipt of a verified application from the CASPA service, the Director of Admissions Tara McSwigan and the rest of the Admissions Committee (which includes the Program Director, all full-time faculty, select current students, and program staff), along with program staff, award points for certain applicant criteria and characteristics, and the total points are used to decide who is invited to interview for a seat in the program. These criteria and characteristics include: Health care experience and level of experience – Higher scores are awarded for longer service and at higher levels of patient care Diploma and degree - While a bachelor’s degree is required, a graduate degree is scored higher Grade Point Averages (GPAs) – Higher undergraduate and specific prerequisite science GPAs receive higher scores Scoring of personal statements – Higher scores are awarded based on the strength of evidence of desire to be a PA, understanding of the role of a PA, demonstration of understanding of the program mission, evidence of how one’s background, qualifications, and/or identies match and/or support the mission, language and writing skills, and editorial care Letters of Reference – Scores are compiled from the quality of the letter and score provided by the recommender in CASPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurepa2222 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 is there anyone here who applied to this hybrid program who is coming from another profession? or is everyone here coming out from undergrad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working in mental health/behavioral health since 2019, but have been working on prerequisites since then. So I guess I'm considered nontraditional. I think this brings something special to the table though and makes a for a diverse cohort.

For my cohort i would say 90% of us are non-traditional applicants and have been working in healthcare for a few years. The average age I would say is 27 but we do have a a few that are straight out of undergrad. Edited July 2 by fiskx049 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I graduated with my BS in Psych in 2018) this is great! it does make for a very diverse cohort! lots to learn from others that are older younger and with different experiences! Fantastic! i myself have been working in the field of athletic training for almost 10 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifestyleprepa Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 12 hours ago, PAHOPEFULLY2024 said: I just accepted my seat today! I interviewed in early June How long did it take to hear back about the decision after your interview? Was it by phone or email? Also, are they requiring you to put down a seat deposit, if so, how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you needed to confirm that you would attend/ or decline your interview requested date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked on FB actually, lol. I'm trying to set up my EXATT account. They did say in an email that we would have to pay to use EXATT, but it gives 2 options to purchase. I'm not sure if we need both (PRISM=$165 & "Approve"=$25). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
