Nlbs Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Has anyone else applied to OU's PA program? I have not seen a thread. I also have not heard back since submitting my supplemental application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulPA22 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I applied to OU and still have not heard anything since the supplemental! But it looks like interview invites did not start until mid-late october last year! So I would give it time. I know the waiting process is the worst! Hopefully we hear something sooner though!

msp Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The email I received said they would not review supplementals until after October 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERtech18 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I interviewed with OU last year. (Eventually rejected). They called me with the interview invite around the end of October and my interview was the end of November. I got my notification sent in the mail in January regarding the decision. Hope this helps. Good luck to everyone applying this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHPA2017 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Congrats on the interviews! I know last year they interviewed until almost Christmas and would send invites out kinda in batches so I bet there will be more going out soon. Clinicals are going well, thank you for asking! Everyone has been very nice and welcoming and both my classmates and I have been complimented on how much we know, so the program definitely prepares you!

Do you have a lot of opportunities for clinical sites? Is there a lot of competition? I know the area is kind of saturated with medical/NP/PA programs, all vying for spots. What a great compliment -- glad to hear the program prepares well!! One more question - how long did it take to hear back from your interview? Thanks for your insight!!

OHPA2017 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 There seem to be a lot of clinical spots, but keep in mind that because of our mission statement, we want to serve rural areas and so there are some clinicals that are far from Columbus but still in Ohio. I know my classmates were nervous about this because they didn't know about housing but everyone has been housed by either the hospital or by other medical students or the residents there too so no one has had to drive like 2 hours one way or anything like that. (Plus the students out in rural areas have gotten to do the most procedures, etc!) There are several people that are within Columbus because our school has an affiliation with Ohio Health and some people have most of theirs in Columbus so it just differs and our clinical coordinators have been awesome at trying to accommodate our preferences. And I interviewed in December, heard back like 3 weeks later that I had been waitlisted, then found out in February that I had been accepted.

PAnewbie24 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I received an interview invite today for November 29th! does anyone know what to expect for the interview at this program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHPA2017 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The interview is yourself with 2 of the faculty/staff members for an hour and then another one hour interview with 2 more other faculty members. No writing part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAnewbie24 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Also does anyone know how many people they interview for this program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lion1234 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Maybe they changed the interviews this year because my email said the interview and tour will be 1.5 hours. They accept a max of 45 so they probably 100 or more I would think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nlbs Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sounds reasonable. Excited for my interview! How long did it take to hear back from your interview, @ohioAT2010? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlz1bax1 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 can anyone who has interviewed at OU before give us some advice about the interview, did you just get asked typical questions, did you get to meet current students and ask questions?? Also, to any current students, are classmates encouraged to get to know each other, study together, get involved in campus activities etc? I have interviewed at a couple of other schools where they seem to really want the cohort to get along and help each other get through the program. Does OU have a cadaver lab? It doesnt mention one on the website.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlz1bax1 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I was also wondering how diverse the class is as far as age, previous healthcare experience? The program states it requires previous healthcare experience but doesn't give an hour requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHPA2017 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Sounds reasonable. Excited for my interview! How long did it take to hear back from your interview, @ohioAT2010? Thanks! about 2-3 weeks I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
