PAapplicant2017 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks for making this forum. Do you remember when you heard about an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchieBee2018 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks for making this forum. Do you remember when you heard about an interview? I received my interview in January. They don't start offering interviews until after the deadline which I think is November. They do most of their interviewing Starting in late November through end of February.

iowapac Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Do you mind sharing some of your stats? It would be nice to see the baseline GPA or healthcare hours of an accepted student to the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchieBee2018 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 To be honest, if you see the DMU class average stats, those are compatible to Ambrose. Half our class got wait listed at DMU. Me personally, I had a 3.7 cumulative, 3.4 science, 305 GRE, and 1800 or so hrs of PCE experience at the time of application. My PCE was an an ICU CNA. I think I did about 22 hrs of shadowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinallyyPAC Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Does anyone know if they require GRE scores to be sent directly to admissions, or is simply reporting on CASPA sufficient? They don't specify a specific code on their website.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchieBee2018 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Call Angie to be sure but my class has to submit directly to the PA program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acolsch Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Everyone, My application was submitted September 7th, and I have only received the confirmation email. I am really worried because I have unfortunately already received two rejections from other programs. I am just terrified of my science GPA. I got a C in one class and retook the class but it was still calculated in my GPA with CASPA. Without that C my science GPA would have been 3.44 which is not great but its better. My stats are as follows: GPA: 3.59 Science GPA: 3.35 (I know this is low) Verbal GRE: 157 Quantitative GRE: 160 Writing GRE: 4.5 Hours of Patient Care Experience:1700 Hours of Shadowing: 100 Is it completely hopeless to wait for an email about an interview? Especially with such a low science GPA. I also feel like I submitted 3 weeks ago, and if I was going to get an interview invite I feel as though I would have gotten it already :( This is my first time applying and I am afraid I will not get into any of the schools I applied for.

FrenchieBee2018 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I wouldn't worry about your stats as they look fine. We don't interview until November and you have a lot of time yet. If you are worried about not hearing from Ambrose then It is likely because we have been busy the last couple of weeks with the ARC-PA accreditation committee. They just left today. The wait sucks but hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acolsch Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 When did you have your application and supplemental application submitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acolsch Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi everyone, I submitted my application on September 7th but St. Ambrose did not receive my supplemental app until October 17th because I took a long time to think about what I was going to write. I am nervous because I see they have started sending interview invites, and I haven't heard anything yet. Was anyone else later with getting all the materials submitted. I am not sure if the delay means that they are not going to offer me an interview or if they just have not had time to process all of my materials yet?

I wouldn't worry about the date you got your supplemental application in. I submitted my application October 7th and got the confirmation from Angie that they got my supplemental app October 31st. I think they just started giving out interviews and the one on November 18th is the first round of them. If I can submit the last possible day and still get an interview you should be okay!

Cooldude23 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 It was 6, 15 minute 1 on 1 interviews. I hoping to hear about acceptance or rejection soon. I just had my interview on Friday, Nov 18 but I hope they don't wait till the end of the whole process to tell us if we made it or didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldon Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I also interviewed 11/18 and the interview process was very relaxed! They get the interviews out of the way at the beginning and you have breaks between each interview which give you some time to calm the nerves. All of the staff was very friendly and engaging. I just got an acceptance email yesterday, I was surprised it happened so quickly! Still have a couple more interviews but I'm really excited!

acolsch Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I interviewed on the 18th also but have not received any emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emn2019 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I interviewed on 11/18 in the afternoon session. I had 5, 10 minute interviews with 10 minute breaks between each. I would recommend bringing notes to look over in between interviews as the breaks can seem a little long! The staff was very friendly and it was probably the most relaxed PA school interview I've had. I received an acceptance email on 11/21, I was surprised to hear that quickly!

cgd91 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have an interview on the 5th of December (this Monday). Thanks for the insight about the interview process. I am looking forward to the opportunity. I am hoping to hear just as quickly as you did. I've been accepted elsewhere and the required deadline for a deposit is that Thursday.

robije03 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 For those that have already interviewed - could you tell me if the interviews were open or closed? Meaning, did they have your application on hand? Open being they did, closed they did not. I know it is becoming more common to do a blind interview to eliminate bias before the interview begins. I interview this upcoming Monday, December 5th! I'm very excited for this opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooldude23 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Anyone get anymore acceptances? I interviewed the first group and still haven't heard. Does that mean I am out of the running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
