CASPA Application
How to Apply to PA School

Great video, May almighty help us all to enter PA program next year.

Started working on application as soon as it opened but didn't realize all the work that would need to go into it. I've had a LOT of jobs over the years and it'll take me forever to put it all into CASPA. Had a mini panic-attack thinking about all I need to get done before the recommended submission date. But like you said, IF I don't get in, there's always next year! Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm a first gen student and this was SO helpful. Thank youuuu. I'm happy I found your channel 😊

[jordangatewood]

This is super super helpful. Although I’m not applying until the cycle after the next one, I’m glad this information was provided thank you!

[PA_Talk]

Awesome info, I made some of these mistakes myself.😅

Good luck everyone!

[citrine]

This was extremely helpful. You’re a goat for this one!

[catpa-s]

this was super helpful! I wish had this when I was applying last cycle hahah

[CoffeeSteveCoffee]

That feeling when you're starting the CASPA 4-8 weeks before the deadline...

[rizwanmerza]

Thank you for helping, my question is I have completed the faculty of Medicine my uni is unable to send my documents while my evaluation agency can do that how I can order to upload my transcript,

[tanishacastello]

Where is the link you go over your personal statement strengths and weaknesses

[guzailiayiabulizi]

Can you have an Caspa ID/ Account even if it takes maybe two more years for you to get all the admission requirements ready ?

[johnguillen]

Thank you for describing what the color codes are. Should I pay for all the application fees even if I haven't taken the GRE (scheduled for July)? or should I just apply for schools that are color-coded Orange?

[alialgabri]

I was told not to copy and paste the personal statement from word because when you submit, it appears blank to those viewing your application

I'm a bit confused about what I need to do. In 2023, I requested for my transcripts to be sent to CASPA. CASPA just opened 2 days ago, and I've taken more class since then. Do I just continue adding to the Transcript Entry section? Do I have to request for an updated transcript to be sent to CASPA? Also, I have a single class left to take online at a different institution. I don't take that until Fall 2024, how does that work if I want to apply now?

[leninkumargDr]

Can international students also apply through this website...

[theelj]

Can you resubmit application after deadline if you have a "undelivered error" ?

[simply_sophia]

What should I write about in the childhood residency description box???

[eljefe]

do i need to complete a caspa application if i enroll into direct entry bs/ms pa programs?

[oliviaperez]

I’m not applying until next cycle but would it be helpful to submit my undergrad transcript and have it verified? Just working on getting PCE and outstanding prereqs (at a different school than my undergrad)

[ReassuringSmile]

On average how many applicants apply during a typical application period? and How many are accepted?
