USAGPAN 2021

Published

This thread is super early but I want to create a spot for USAGPAN 2021 applicants to share our journey! I’m mostly posting this thread now to spread the word about Iowa Central Community College’s Intro to Organic and Biochem online course - CHM 130. This option was a lifesaver (read: time and money saver) for me and I have to pay it forward. I checked with the Baylor liaison and the course fulfills the chemistry requirement. The only prerequisite is Intro to Chemistry I. I hope this helps someone and I’m looking forward to the upcoming application year!

Well, it's 4:30 pm in Texas so there is still 30 min left in the day until close of business. 

Then the waiting starts all over again. So nervous typing this that my fingers feel numb. ?

I just received an acceptance letter as a VA applicant that I was selected.  I can't imagine the Active Duty acceptances would be much longer!

CONGRATS!

Anyone else receive an acceptance or non-acceptance letter?

Bryan, did your letter come from VA or Baylor?

The wait is excruciating!

Mine was from the VA. In the email it was stated there would be a final review on the baylor side, but if I understood correctly baylor screens all the VA apps before they get forwarded to the VA for their selection process so it seems the finalization is just a formality.  Yes it is definitely an excruciating wait. I feel for you guys!!

Hey all,

I have been watching this thread for a while, kind of behind the scenes. I didn't have much worth while to say or contribute. I am rooting for you all to get in. I have also completed my packet on time and anxiously waiting to see the results. 

Also, CONGRATS to Bryan for getting his unofficial/official  acceptance. I am envious of the relief you have to be feeling at this very moment.

Congratulations Brian! Can you, please, briefly describe the process for VA applicants, where to start, what and where send the papers, anything I can do extra or in advance to increase my chances as VA and to speed up the process, etc. Any tips will help. TIA
