University of Florida Application

An on-line application to the University of Florida admissions (http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/prospectivegraduate.html), including a residency affidavit, must be completed at the same time the CASPA application is filed. BE SURE TO CHOOSE “Professional Schools,” then “Apply-New Applicants.” Follow instructions for creating your user ID and password, and complete all four sections — in section 2, choose “2010 Summer B (June)” and “Medicine – Physician Assistant Program.” Reapplicants who applied to the (former) UF PA Program in previous years must complete a new application and pay the application fee again. After paying the fee and submitting the application, print out the application summary – keep a copy for your records and SEND A COPY to the UF School of Physician Assistant Studies at:

GRE Scores

All applicants must meet the GRE requirement by submitting scores from the GRE General Test (verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing sections). The test is computer-based. Scores should reach UF by October 1, 2009; plan to take the GRE no later than the end of August of 2009, to avoid delays in considering your application. Information on sites and times is available at www.gre.org.

On test day, use 5812 for the Institution Code. GRE scores may be tracked by the School of Physician Assistant Studies ONLY if your UF application is complete (see above).
