nospin29 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hello guys, I just received an interview for the Rutgers program, but I've already accepted an invitation to PCOM. Can those who have either been accepted or completely have their hearts set on Rutgers tell me what sets Rutgers apart from other schools? There is no wrong answer, I just want to make sure I've done my homework before making a decision on Rutgers. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sptl102 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I just received an email saying I'd be invited for an interview and to await for more information to come. Can anyone tell me what days they typically interview and how long it is? I'll have to fly out from Nevada for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sptl102 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Congrats on everyone accepted! I just got invited for an interview. I live in Las Vegas so I am trying to get everything situated to get there for my January 15th interview. I had a question about the interviews. It seems my individual interview slot is the last one at 12:30-1:00pm. What do you do while the others are interviewing? For those accepted, do you have any suggestions of tips for interview day?

PAstud Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The interview day is very similar to interviews at other programs. You walk into the PA building and are asked to sign in and pick up a packet and name tag. There is a short information session, financial aid information and a brief tour of the medical school and lab facilities. While others are interviewing you will likely just sit and talk with other prospective students or ask faculty members questions about the program. Just be yourself. I was asked the same textbook questions at every other interview besides this one. The faculty is very familiar with your application and essay and will ask you questions that are specific to you. Be prepared to answer questions about weaknesses as well as emphasize your strengths as an applicant. I will be attending this August! Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buhnana Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Has anyone from early-mid January interviews heard back? It seems like the program knows who they want after interviews because people are receiving calls the day after... Are the rest of us that haven't heard on a waiting list?

newbeginning Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The Adcom calls some students right away because they are exactly what their looking for in a PA-S. All the other interviewees going into purgatory until all interviews are complete. Then they deliberate on who gets offered the last few seats. At this time, they also make the alternative list. So you could still get in!!! Be patient grasshopper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sptl102 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi All, I got a call on Thursday for a spot in the program. Seems like they're giving students about 10 days to accept the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
