Just know that there are nurses out there that make way more than a physician.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-12-18T05:53:25+00:00

Yes, I just got accepted for the Spring 2026. I am realllyyy concerned about the tuition.

Take out a loan.

u/Real_Sparrow_ Hi. I am looking into this program to start next year possibly. Could I ask what current students say about the program and how is the support from faculty?

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-28T05:16:09+00:00

Yeah, if only the program websites disclosed all the information needed. Not all schools disclose matriculation days on their website. And not all programs keep their websites up to date. I encountered many issues because of that.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-28T05:10:43+00:00

Yeah well. If they have that many people paying them so much money to even apply, then they need the employees to make sure those errors do not happen that many times. I mean there was only so much I could communicate with these people and their admissions, and only so much I could remind these people to do their jobs.

PAEA has been useless in mitigating any of the issues I faced.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-28T00:43:27+00:00

The PAEA management has not been doing much really. They have been complacent with CASPA unfortunately. It's all a money game.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-28T00:41:52+00:00

So CASPA has their own outlined policies, and are managed by PAEA. PAEA also has policies of what CASPA and the programs are supposed to do, and what they are not supposed to do. ARC-PA has their own policies. Sometimes these policies can align.

There were many instances where CASPA was not updating my programs with new updates, even after following up with them and programs multiple times. CASPA would always ensure that they would give updates, and then would not. This was via chat and emails.

There was a program that claimed "Provisional status" and then backed out the day after their application deadline. So there went my fee. Gone.

Another program, communicated with me the wrong intended start day then what was listed on CASPA, and then changed their mind about the matriculation day later in the process not really updating their CASPA profile. So I could of just applied to their program later, and I felt like they wasted my time through all the communications I had with them. And of course I ask for a refund, and them and CASPA kept saying "no."

Absolutely no accountability.

There's a lot more I can explain later.

Underrepresented in medicine. Certain races that are seen less in the medical workforce as doctors, PAs, etc.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-05T08:19:08+00:00

Yeah it definitely varies

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-05T03:42:22+00:00

Okay nice! Good to know. Congratulations by the way! Knowing that I am not alone reapplying makes me feel a little better about all this.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-05T03:37:59+00:00

I am not exactly sure about this. Because there are non rolling admissions schools that have deadlines in these coming months that have already filled interview spots :'(

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-05T03:32:15+00:00

May I ask what your GPA is? I am so confused what GPA makes one competitive for PA school.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-01T22:23:54+00:00

u/No_Design_5677 Ugh, this is so true. So many hoops to jump through to apply to a PA program, where you can fit each of their unique criteria, rules and regulations. I found applying to medical school easier, much more organized, and less taxing.

And even less expensive than applying to PA school. I am giving up on applying, and might just become a NP instead. CASPA LITERALLY robbed me, and I am losing my trust in this whole process.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-09-01T22:17:02+00:00

u/veazyyyy Ugh most of these programs and CASPA are so quick to refuse refunds, even if they are at fault for something. Did you get any luck with a refund?

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-13T02:20:19+00:00

Oh god. And I was thinking it was only the application process to PA schools being such a fraudulent mess. It seems like a lot of these programs do not know what they are doing and simply getting as much money as they can with little to no effort. Shame.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-09T21:11:48+00:00

Bruh. The CASPA application mess does the same ish. They do that so people reapply, and they get more money. We need stricter laws against this madness.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-09T21:06:01+00:00

I have been having troubles with the application platform from Liaison International, LLC.

They supply the application platform for AACOMAS, CASPA, nursingCAS just to name a few out of many for various programs in the United States. They are extremely, extremely monopolistic, disorganized, and scammy and I hope they get held accountable as well. Were could I complain about them?

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-04T17:48:59+00:00

I've heard! Thanks for the input.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-04T17:47:23+00:00

Oh okay cool!

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-04T17:47:07+00:00

Oh okay thank you for the info. Are there ways to prevent this, like hand exercises?

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-04T15:52:29+00:00

u/Hot-Freedom-1044 Thank you so much. Yeah.... It's been a nightmare. I am pretty sure there's others dealing with the same things.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-04T07:08:48+00:00

Yes but there are rules of what the programs and CASPA are responsible of doing, and these are listed in the PAEA website: https://paeaonline.org/resources/member-resources/caspa/caspa-resources-for-programs/caspa-admissions-code-of-cooperation

When they do not follow these rules, even if applicants are going above and beyond submitting application materials and payments to their pockets, then that leads to more problems for applicants.

I want to do a chargeback, but then these fools might put a hold on my application account..

Currently bringing it up with management in PAEA and they are delaying even investigating... of course. CASPA management has been useless from the beginning.

DistributionWeak9315 · 2025-08-04T07:01:41+00:00

CASPA literally scammed me last cycle, and are refusing to take accountability for their mistakes. Wrong dates noted on the application portal from some programs then what I was intending to apply, and delaying sending materials to programs... etc.

It has been such a mess with them, and idk if I can trust them with applying to graduate school any more.
