Physician Assistant Program Application

All applicants to the Methodist University PA Program must apply through the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA). The MUPAP does not utilize a supplemental application. Transcripts do not need to be sent unless you are updating your class information. The program has ONE start date each year (mid- August).

Applicants applying for entrance in August 2014 may begin the application on April 17, 2013. Applications must be e-submitted, complete and verified by CASPA by March 1, 2014. Because the program operates on rolling admissions up until the deadline, it is possible our class can be filled prior to the March 1 deadline. As a result, applicants should begin the application process early in the cycle.

Application tips:

• Allow yourself plenty of time to fill out the CASPA application and submit online. Do not plan on filling out your application in one day and submitting it on the deadline. The average applicant will spend a week or more completing this application. You may log on and off the CASPA website to work on the application over time, but DO start early. Starting early will allow you to resolve any problems that may arise so that you are not at risk of missing deadlines.
• Log on to CASPA at least once weekly to reference your application status. Constant follow up on the arrival of letters of recommendation and official transcripts from ALL colleges/universities are the responsibility of the applicant. Follow up will again allow you to resolve any issues in the arrival of these required documents.

Documents that need to be submitted to CASPA are:

• Official transcripts from all colleges attended
• 3 letters of recommendation (Professional recommendations are recommended)
• Official GRE scores (via the code 0399)
