Let’s hope that 6MO is just 1 semester because taking another calc in a mini summer semester was gonna be ugly

They are pretty fast about replying if you email them to confirm! I am pretty sure 6 months is 1 semester or 2 quarters

 

[Spiceupyourlife]

I was under the impression that 6 months meant just 1 semester & a year was 2 semesters.. if that’s the case wondering if people who got an ii & dont have calc can just take a summer course

I would think 1 semester. Plus, MSAR said prereqs need to be done by Jan 2023 anyway

Oh dang i thought everything was by matriculation, hope this doesn’t affect admissions for not completing it

I feel like they will probably change that policy. Seems like they have been changing things around a lot.

Again, you're missing what I'm saying. For VA HPSP, you don't SERVE in the military. You work for the VA; completely different.

Yes but still a service oblication of 6 years, which is something to consider for anyone applying.... this is neither good or bad, I personally love to work for the VA overall.

they gotta make concessions if they want to fill the class with the people they want

So last batch of interviews should be next week?

Was wondering the same thing. I haven't heard anything and I completed my seconary a little while ago.

Yes, I know. But I was being specific to differentiate between the military service vs VA service requirement because some don't know and wanted the person who was asking specifics to know how the VA HPSP differs from the military HPSP.

[Spiceupyourlife]

Yup

 

[PowerH0u5e]

If you’ve interviewed, you should be receiving an email regarding for the prerequisites and how to list them out for school

 

[Broke&Bougie]

Y’all get the email from Rufina?

Yes. Guess I’ll see if my 1 semester of Calc keeps me in the running. March 15th is getting closer & closer. [emoji854]

It should

Deadline for application was extended to 2/28. I submitted my secondary a long time ago. 🙁 was really hoping for an II from this school.

 

[strawberryjam13]

No :/

Should I be worried if I interviewed and did not receive the email? 😬

 

[Spiceupyourlife]

Should I be worried if I interviewed and did not receive the email? 😬

Not necessarily. My undergrad didn't detail lec/labs in transcripts but i took them. So might depend on what your transcripts indicate.

 

[Avengers123]

I interviewed and did not receive the email either

 

[N3utr0ph!l]

I’m taking Calc 1 over the summer. Waiting to hear back on how to include that in the table. Will get back to y’all here that are in a similar boat

 

[studentdoctorco2028]

So those who have interviewed and received an email from Rufina today, based on CDUs updated prereqs, do you all not have all of them currently? I interviewed and didn't receive an email.

No, I fulfilled all of them.

 

[allin23]

No email, interviewed, met previous calc requirement.

 

[Broke&Bougie]

I fulfilled them all. I have a year of biochem and only a semester of calc, but the chart seems as though we only need 1 semester for both of those courses so we should all be good.

you can see the second semester is shaded out for calc and biochem.

Wait, did they send out an email today?

 

[Spiceupyourlife]

Yes, not everyone received an email. See the previous posts for details

Was there an invitation for this? I didn't know about it rip

 

[OCcalistud18]

Interesting. I am wondering if they have not had a chance to send out the email to everyone. OR they are only sending it to those whose prerequisites might seem unclear.

 

[OCcalistud18]

it is open to the public, anyone can attend.

 

[PowerH0u5e]

No, I fulfilled all of them.

Same here still received the email

 

[hopefuldoc1!]

I'm honestly confused why they chose to make calculus a prereq instead of just a semester of math because I took a semester of a higher math because my school accepted my AP scores for both calculus classes

 

[hopefuldoc1!]

But, I also got an interview and did not receive an email today so I am very confused and stressed ugh

Don’t stress out! We’re all in this together, the confusion and all of it <3

That’s interesting. How can I get more info about HPSP? Do they cover all the tuition cost plus cost of living ? What’s the pay like when you work for them? And is it similar to federal loan forgiveness programs?

 

[PanoramicSurvivor]

Y’all should look into NHSC scholarships also.

Google VA HPSP to go to their website
And no to your last question

Too bad i don't want to go into primary care or it would be amazing for me with all my damn loans😂😭😭😭

 

[Keelay]

I went to quarter system school. Do you think that’s why I didn’t receive the email?

Did those that receive the email attend a semester running school?

 

[futurodoctor]

yeah i got one and went to a quarter system school

 

[iceylatte]

yeah, i also interviewed and didn't receive an email today. hard to tell if it actually means anything

It's not about the type of system but rather how the title of the courses are written. For ex: at one school Biol 101 might be labeled as Biology I, another might have it listed as two separate courses Biology I Lec and Biology I Lab, another might have Biology I Lec/Lab. All three have labs but 1 of them doesn't explicitly state the lab part.
