It seems that Quinnipiac is accepting applicants. They do stipulate that all clinicals will have to be done out of state.
Pretty exciting for the profession!

So could this be an indication that Connecticut may be opening up soon? It would be nice to see more states in the northeast.

I was offered an interview there but declined in preference of Nova. Please be aware that UC-Denver is also accepting applications until May 1st. I was also offered an interview here, and declined. I suggest that if it is late in the cycle and people havent been accepted, apply here. The UC denver application process is QUITE unorganized, but they arent starting until august and may be the best option from here on out to start this year. Quinnipiac may only have 1 seat left.

Good luck to all of our applicants this year! I definitely encourage giving UC Denver and Quinnipac if you like the region or late in the cycle. New states are opening up to the AA profession and having a great program in those two can help push for Connecticut and Utah (next to Colorado).

I'm dumbfounded! This is amazing news for our field!! Thanks for sharing! I had no idea that there were other schools aside from case, south, emory, umkc, and nova!

I'm surprised as well to learn about the new program in Denver. Does anyone know how many spots are left at Denver's program? I was just wondering if most of the spots had essentially been filled...

Hard to say, especially since it seems not many people know about it. It's possible they have very few applicants. Even at the Emory interview, they had us fill out a questionnaire with questions like "Did you know there is an AA program at ______?" And they only mentioned the Case/South/Emory/Nova/UMKC five. That's not to say Emory doesn't even know about these two programs, but clearly they aren't receiving much attention, even from within the community.

Please apply to these programs and be as aggressive as possible. Stand out and be persistent. I just declined interviews at both Quinnipiac and UC-Denver. They are definitely still looking for applicants. They are also using a lot if techniques from Emory (UC Denver) and south (Quinnipiac) to ensure the inaugural class' success. I urge anyone who is late in te cycle and still trying to get in to apply to both. Quinnipiacs application process is much more simplistic.. While Denver's is much more disorganized.. So just bear with it and do what you can. Remember.. This is your future.

HopefulAA, what techniques does emory employ that are different from other programs. I'm just curious becuase I had difficulty finding differences myself. Thanks.

I mean the application process for UC Denver emulated that of Emory. The name 'Emory' is even still on some of the application materials

I wonder if Denver's program will budge on the 55th percentile GRE requirement? I know that Emory doesn't like to make exceptions in that regard. One of my GRE scores is below (way below) the 55th percentile mark, so it may not even be worth applying.

Did you hear if denvers willing to budge on the 55th GRE percentile requirement? Any updates for their program?
