Acceptance in a hour!? That's crazy!
Yeah, I was pretty surprised to say the least! I was one of the last interviews that day and I was actually in the middle of writing my thank you emails to everyone!
Thanks Vic! Im applying this cycly
Yayyy! Good luck Maya! I’m rooting for you ☺️
Hey Vic! When you say "be careful filling in anything" on Caspa, does this mean that the grades and the courses that I have filled in along with healthcare experience information, would all of them get deleted if I am not applying this cycle? Do you suggest saving everything on a document and transfer it over onto Caspa when I do plan on applying that specific cycle?
Great Video :)
Hi there! From my understanding of it, some of the information carries over because you have the option to “copy application data” from one cycle to the next. I absolutely suggest saving everything in Google docs just in case! Here’s a resource you can check out from CASPA: help.liaisonedu.com/CASPA_Applicant_Help_Center/Starting_Your_CASPA_Application/Creating_and_Managing_Your_CASPA_Account/3_Use_an_Existing_CASPA_Account_to_Re-Apply :)
Thanks for the tips ! I’m currently a freshman in college hoping to become a pa and I was wondering when you apply to pa school if you want to go straight out of college ? Would it be your senior year ?
The PA application opens in the spring (end of April) and then interviews are during the following year. So if you don’t want a gap year the you’ll want to apply spring/summer of your junior year! But honestly, there’s a huge advantage to taking 1-2 gap years, and sometimes it’s necessary for getting those patient care hours! I’m getting ready to send my applications soon!
“Following year” meaning school year (fall/winter)
Yes, I agree with Meg! The later half of your junior year will be when you want to apply if you are going straight out of college- however, there are benefits in taking a year or two off in between (that’s what I did!). Feel free to PM me as it gets closer & if you have any more specific questions :) good luck to you!
omg when I applied this year I made similar mistakes & it cost me moneyyy 😭
Girlll isn’t that the worst feeling?? UGH🤪 gotta spread awareness so others can learn from our mistakes!
