cwalley12 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Congratulations! Good to know they started inviting people!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akt001 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Congratulations doat! Me too! When I sent my confirmation email, I got an automatic response saying You have reached PA Program Admission. The PA Program Admission Committee will be notifying all May 2017 applicants of their Academic Evaluation decisions via email by September 28, 2016. We appreciate your patience in our review of applications. I'm assuming they still received my email! But also this means that if anyone didn't get their invite today, you still could get it in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollylou89 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Me too mtart! Especially with the number they're taking this year, keep the faith!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akt001 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Mollylou, when you say "the numbers they're taking this year," how many people are they taking this year vs. previous years? I've heard the class that started in 2016 is 45 people. Good luck with the waitlist!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollylou89 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Akt according to the website they're now taking 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REE Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Was just offered an interview off the waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealto499 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Does anyone know what the actual interview day looks like? I'll be there October 29 and the actual NAE is only 3 hours long so I'm curious what all it entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akt001 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 It's multiple mini interview (MMI) format, so it will involve several stations. They can be traditional interview format, tasks to complete with other interviewees, ethical questions, essay writing, role play, surveys. Anything, really. I have heard medical schools with this format have anywhere from 5-10 stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siersmar Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hello everyone, I'm a student at Butler and I'll be showing some people around during the interviews in the morning. I believe this year the class size they are selecting is somewhere around 80. Last year it was 45 and the year before it was 26. I believe they received over 800 applications this year. Your class is going to complete the transition into Butler's MPAS program which is a 2 year post bachelor masters program. During my interview last year everyone was nervous, so that's natural. The NAE goes much quicker than you expect it to, and all of the interviewers are various instructors or preceptors who are very kind and compassionate. I have no idea how scoring works but for each scenario just be respectful, respond to questions appropriately and do the best you can. There is really no prepping for the scenarios except like any generic recommendations, make sure you understand the program, why you want to go there, and why you want to be a PA. Good luck and have a great weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnguyen9 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks, Siersmar! Look forward to meeting you this weekend! Do you have any suggestions for things to do around IND? I'll be there half-day tomorrow to explore the area and will also have the time after the interview is finished on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siersmar Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm not an Indiana local so I don't have the best advice. If you are really interested in the program I would recommend getting a good feel for where you want to live and how far you feel like commuting. If you have any specific questions I can hopefully help you more tomorrow after your interview. A lot of other current students will be helping out and we are all nervous for you guys! With extra time You can always check out the Broad Ripple area if you are hungry. There is always downtown Indy but that might be too much for one day.

Siersmar Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I hope everyone enjoyed their interview today. Good luck with any follow on interviews. I hope everyone finds a program that is right for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
