pelicanfly Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Does anyone have any knowledge on MU's interview season? Are there still interview dates? Do we know how filled the class of ## (how many students do they take a year?) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAS42013 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The interview on last Friday was the last interview. Not sure how much of the 90 person class is currently filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydniiray Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Has anyone heard back from the interview or contacted them to see what time we will be able to access the admissions decision? JW because I know they mentioned meeting at 9am today to decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAS42013 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I know! I'm getting antsy too! They said late afternoon to evening but it's past 5 so you'd think it would be up by now... did they say whether we would find out if we were waitlisted or denied today? Or would we only find out if we were accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npatel Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Has anyone heard from the 1/13 interview yet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRC33 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I interviewed 1/12. I talked with admissions this morning and they advised me decisions were made yesterday and I had been placed on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAS42013 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Same here, I reached out to admissions since I hadn't heard anything and they told me I was on the alternate list. I wonder how deep this alternate list is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltMartini Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Same here, I reached out to admissions since I hadn't heard anything and they told me I was on the alternate list. I wonder how deep this alternate list is? I was under the impression if you don't fail the interview, you're placed on the waitlist. I imagine that makes potentially the 250 of us that interviewed, minus the 90 seats that were accepted on the waitlist. So 140 on the wait list, and they said in previous years they have taken ~30 off the wait list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildcatPA Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Received an email from Midwestern 2 days ago that this years interview cycle has concluded and that there will be no more interviews. Just wanted to update anyone who was also on the pending interview list! Best of luck to everyone the rest of this cycle and next years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knschaff Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Has anyone who was offered an interview and wait listed been taken off the wait list and accepted into the program yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loquat Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi Everyone, for those who have been admitted, any recommendations on where to live? Glendale vs. Phoenix? Specific neighborhoods? I would love access to hiking trails if anyone is familiar with the city and has recommendations. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS2PA Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Received an email from Midwestern 2 days ago that this years interview cycle has concluded and that there will be no more interviews. Just wanted to update anyone who was also on the pending interview list! Best of luck to everyone the rest of this cycle and next years! Hi! I got this email too. I received another a few months back saying my application is on hold pending an interview invite. So I emailed and asked why I was rejected/what I can do to improve/ etc. and I got an email back saying that this doesn't actually count as a rejection and they are still reviewing those applications and will continue to interview into March.

alird34 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I was waitlisted after my interview back in September and got the call today that I've been accepted! I've been accepted to another program as well so I have a tough decision to make. Eek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleaie Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Will they begin to let us know our spot on the waiting list if the interviews have concluded? Since there shouldn't be any changes going on with the list other than people moving up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAS42013 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 They said they will not let us know our spot on the waiting list unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_kristine Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi everyone! Congratulations on those accepted! I'm a first year applicant and I'm very interested in Midwestern U. I just need advice with the GRE. Does anyone know how heavily they weigh on GRE as far as giving interviews/acceptances? I took the GRE recently, first time i scored below the 50% percentile in Verbal + Math, 4 in Writing. I took it again and got 153 Math, 150 verbal, still waiting on my writing score. I must admit I'm not the best at standardized tests. GPA is 3.6 Cumulative 3.5 Science GPA. ~2000 HCE as MA/Scribe, 88 hours of PA shadowing (100 by the time caspa opens), +500 hours of volunteer in underserved and with other orgs. Any advice on where I might stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA2019_S Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 To a_Kristine I posted this with regards to someone else asking a very similar question under another Midwestern Forum. I feel as if it answers your question pretty well, too. "I would DEFINITELY retake the GRE. From personal experience, I had 98% in writing, 82% in quantitative and 42% in verbal. I was, fortunately, interviewed; however, I was waitlisted. I decided to retake the GRE when I called and asked what I could have done differently, and she told me my GRE score was too low in the one section. I retook it, scored in the 60% for that section, and received my acceptance less than two weeks later. So.. I would DEFINITELY retake it. It can make or break your acceptance." With regards to other experiences of yours.. my GPA was similar, a little higher. I had over 4,000hr of research and over 2,000hr of clinical work as a Physical Therapist. I had over 2,000hr of international volunteer work in orphanages as well. About 50hr of PA shadowing in a number of disciplines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunDevil Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Has anyone else heard if they've been accepted of the waitlist or if the class is full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amwright5 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I called a few days ago and they said that the class is full with 120 people still on the wait-list. However, the person I talked to said that students are dropping all the time and we can still be admitted until the first week of classes. It all depends now on whether or not people that have placed deposits drop out. I know of one person who got in that interviewed the same day as me (Jan. 13). She found out she got in on 4/20. I haven't heard anything besides that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcm123 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hey everyone! I'm set to start the PA program this May and was just wondering what any of the guys wore to class each day? It says somewhere "business casual" so I was thinking slacks and a button-up but since its going to be so hot was anyone wearing a pair of "nicer" shorts and a polo T-shirt maybe? Thank you!
