fdamico1985 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Tash - how did your interview go this year? Crystaltide - congratulations!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tash2807 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It went well... But of course you always over analyze! I interviewed with Stoehr and Craftman. How was yours? They told us we would find out by the end of this week, have you heard anything yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ALWAYS overanalyze!! I interviewed with Roch and Chapman and I thought it went well..better than last year anyhow. I am already so anxious to find out but haven't heard anything yet, although I have already checked the portal like 3 times lol. They told us they would be meeting today or tomorrow and we would have up to the minute decisions on our portal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Checklists for the 9/6 and 9/7 interview dates seem to be posted - I got accepted!!!!!! I am sooooo beyond excited for what is to come and to meet all of my fellow classmates. I will get a facebook page started for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shendricks02 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was placed on the alternate list :( It's really disappointing, but I guess there is still hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 shendricks I too was on the alternate list last cycle and there is absolutely still hope. EVERY year they pull from their alternate list and since you interviewed early your application will be looked at that many more times. Stay positive!

catherinepvu Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nothing is showing up on my checklist and I interviewed on 9/6 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganBohn Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 fdamico1985- Congrats! Remember me? We met at the interview last week. I was accepted, also! However, I am still going to Texas this weekend to interview in Galveston to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yes I remember you Megan!! How exciting we could be classmates :D I have to have at least one other person who was accepted to start the FB page so find me there if you want to join the page - Fallon Damico :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Congratulations by the way Megan!! And Catherine don't lose hope...you could be on the alternate list and that's not a bad place to be this early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurgeryD Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Happy to hear people are receiving interview invites! I just contacted Midwestern University and was told that my application has been forwarded for a review and place on the "waitlist" for an interview. I am not so sure if this is a good thing (meaning that I might get an interview invite soon and that they just haven't gotten to my application) or a bad thing (meaning that I didn't make it and would only get an interview if someone cancelled). Any feedback would be appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 dvn I would only take it as positive - you didn't just get a denial letter right out of the gates. There is still a chance you will get an interview if people get accepted elsewhere and cancel their interviews at MWU. I have learned through this process it helps to stay positive about everything!!

fdamico1985 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks Dvn! Good luck on your interview...after the first the story is true that they get a little less nerve wracking. Keep us updated on your progress! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTRPA Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hello! I am interviewing this Thursday and I am super nervous! Do they tell you what your odds are? How is the group interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Congrats on getting an interview FTRPA! My first word of advice is the same as everyone else's - try not to be nervous :) We were told that we have a 50/50 chance of getting in if we were there for the interview. Those are pretty good odds. I liked the group interview dynamic - it gave us the opportunity to talk as a group and we will be working as part of a team as PAs so I think it's an excellent thing to experience. Good luck!

Bigfish Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 For those that have already interviewed, how many people were in your group the day you were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdamico1985 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 There were 27 people interviewing that particular day. Three applicants are interviewed by two interviewers and there are three potential panels you can be on - you will find out that morning who is interviewing you and when. Some people interview first while others tour the campus etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
