Status of this program’s 2026-2027 cycle. Closed. The CASPA verified deadline was September 1, 2026. Interviews are scheduled for October 2026.
What AdventHealth has published (from https://www.ahu.edu/programs/ms-physician-assistant-studies/admissions, retrieved September 2, 2026):
- The program’s own questions are delivered as CASPA “Custom Questions”, not as a separate supplemental application. The admissions page says to “open the Custom Questions section of your CASPA application and answer all the program specific questions,” and that those answers “will be read and used as part of the student selection process.”
- The question text and any word or character limits are not published on the university’s website. They are only visible inside CASPA after you add the program. If you have the questions in front of you, please paste them below (question text and limits only, not your answers).
- Of the CASPA essays, the Personal Statement and the Life Experience essay are required and read. The page states that the Situational Decision-Making essay is not required and will not be read.
- Supplemental fee: none is listed on the university’s admissions, program, FAQ, or tuition pages. We saw a $50 figure on a third-party site but could not confirm it on an official page, so treat it as unconfirmed.
- Other dates: CASPer was required, with a completion deadline of August 11, 2026, for results to arrive in time.
What we would like from applicants in this thread.
- The Custom Questions as they appear in CASPA for this cycle, with limits.
- Whether you were asked to pay anything beyond the CASPA fee.
- For people who interviewed in prior cycles: format and length of the interview day.
