Me too! I was very upset but I'm wondering if a mass email got sent out on accident. I haven't heard of anyone else getting accepted besides the first round of people that makes me wonder as well.
I interviewed 9/17 as well and just got this email. The wording confused me as well and I was kind of confused on how the seats were full. If you could please let me know what your friend finds out as well.
You guys got this! As they said in the interview, you still have a very good chance of getting accepted from the waitlist. Don't be discouraged, you are going to be a PA!
Honestly was just like a conversation with the interviewers. They were all super friendly. I had 4 people in interviewed with and then at the end you have a writing prompt. No worries, everyone is super sweet.
