Methodist University Undergraduate Students

The Methodist University PA Program gives first consideration to Methodist graduates or persons who have completed coursework at MU (If you are not an MU grad and are taking classes to complete the prerequisite coursework, you must be currently enrolled in 3 or more classes at Methodist to fit this category). As a result, MU students are required to submit a supplemental application, in addition to the CASPA application.

MU applicants applying for entrance in August 2011 may officially submit their online supplemental application to the Physician Assistant program as early as April 14, 2011 and no later than Friday, July 29, 2011. All required materials (transcripts, GRE, etc) must be submitted, in addition to the application, to the program no later than July 30th. No exceptions will be made after this date. Should a student fail to meet the deadline for the supplemental application, he/she must apply through regular channels (CASPA). They will be given first consideration with all other outside applicants at the time their CASPA application is received.

Once you have submitted your online supplemental application, please submit the following materials directly to the PA Admissions Office:

• Transcripts from all colleges/universities attended except MU. For your convenience, Methodist University transcripts will be obtained by the program.
• Three letters of professional recommendations (copies are acceptable)
• GRE scores- Unofficial copies of the GRE score report from ETS and/or official scores are acceptable. Official scores must be received to complete your file. Please note scores may take 2 weeks or longer to be mailed to your home or the program. If you have not taken the GRE prior to the deadline, your application will not be considered for the first interview session. Self reported scores will NOT be accepted.
• TOEFL scores (International students only)
• An official evaluation of foreign transcripts (International students only)

Only those students who meet the recommendations of the program will be invited for the first interview session of the year.

Admission Preference students will be given first selection overall.

The PA Program also requires that all MU graduates submit a CASPA application to officially complete their file. CASPA applications do not have to be complete at the time of interview. Please be aware of the program's March 1st deadline of submitting your CASPA application. It is suggested applicants begin their CASPA application as early as July.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding your application do not hesitate to call the PA Director of Admissions at (800) 488-7110 ext. 7615.
