Alright, so i requested the fee waiver on 5/1 and have yet to get a response/acceptance. I know I qualify and I confirmed multiple times that I submitted the right forms. Anyone else in this situation?
Do i still wait to submit my apps or do i just eat the cost of applications this year? Applying to 7 programs this year instead of 15 like last year but it will still cost me about $800 which will take a while for me to recover from.
Is anyone else having this issue?? To preface, i have not submitted my applications yet. Caspa is not letting me save revisions on 2 of my program questions, only letting me submit the application. And then if i want to click out of the page it makes me discard all of my changes. Obviously i can just keep my responses in a google doc and just paste them when i am ready to submit but it’s so annoying! I’m only waiting on the fee waiver and 1 LOR at this point and I just want to have everything completed.
Hey all, long time lurker here preparing for my second time applying to PA school. I need the honest truth about my A&P credits because I hear differing opinions. I took a 300+ level anatomy and physiology class for PE majors (3 credits), and then took A&P1 (4 credits) and got an A in both. I did not take A&P2 because I thought I had the requirements fulfilled at the time. I understand that some schools explicitly say they need 8 credits of A&P but other schools’ requirements are much more ambiguous. What do you guys think I should do? I can’t afford to take another class for fun, so I really want to understand if I need this.
For reference, here is a summary of my credentials:
- GPA: 3.4, sGPA 3.5
- 6000 PCE hours as a scribe and MA
- 2000 hours shadowing 3 PA’s, 2 APN’s
- 60 hours OR shadowing PA+MD
- 3 ongoing clinical research studies that i am heavily involved in
- 5 strong LOR’s from 1 PA, 1 APN, 2 MD, and 1 A&P professor
- 100 hours volunteer in community
- leadership experience as scribe trainer, leader of cadaver dissections in A&P, captain of sports teams
