Thank you! Your blog is very helpful, I will email you with any questions
and good luck with your final months in school!
I am applying to Austin. you?
I have to ask about your screen name, Is this your 3rd time applying? It is mine
but first time with USAI have to ask about your screen name, Is this your 3rd time applying? It is mine
I am sorry you know what this feeling is like, at the same time it is nice to come across people who can relate. I wish you the best, what campus are you applying to??
haha agree!!! put in your applicaton that you are willing to go to a different campus.
GRE, Personal Statement and Autobiography until the interview. I think it is GPA and GRE focused initially.
I completely agree
That is correct. USA has their own application process completely separate from PTCAS. Their application and everything they require to be accepted to their program is located on their website.
Hey there. To clear the requirements, I used Zoology and an upper class biology course, simply because I had the highest grades in those courses. The biology 101 and 102 should be fine. I don't recall them demanding a certain biology course be taken, they just want to make sure that two biology courses were taken outside of anatomy and physiology.
APPLY. To not apply is to immediately deny yourself an acceptance letter. The spring semester is less competitive than the Fall. You have a chance, don't worry. For interviews they look at your GPA and GRE. I would say that make sure you exceed their requirements as much as you can. They ask for 80 hours. Get at least 100 and maybe in two different settings. You just need a 294 GRE, maybe take it and maybe get a 298 or higher. If anything, what she said should be a challenge to you. Prove her wrong and get an interview. Good luck!I talked to a lady in admissions yesterday because I had a few questions about the application process. She was kind of scaring me away from applying. She was asking me about my gpa and prereq gpa and stuff and she said the average prereq gpa for students that get interviews is like 3.4. But from what I've read on forums it looks like students with sub par gpas but that have a lot of experience and extra curriculars do well in terms of getting interviews and acceptance! Wondering if I should even apply now!
The nice thing about USA, they look at you as a whole. Still apply, my GPA for my bachelors is pretty crapy. However, they look at what you have done in your last years. I feel our chances are best at this university.
Once you submit your application, you are provided a username and password. Once you are given that, that helps you kind of figure out what else is missing before you can be given an interview. The username and password allows you to double-check that you've submitted everything, as well as submit your prerequisite form.
There should be some sort of submit button for the whole application. I know they changed the application process online, so I can't exactly direct you on where it is. When I submitted my application, I filled it all out and when I paid my application fee, the application was submitted. Yes, they send the username and password via email
