abduffin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 There's a lot of pressure and stress on this forum. Obviously, based on the posts, this is a highly competitive program for our area. I havent heard anything definitive-- but my application is experience heavy which might count against me. What I do know is that I applied to ten schools and only four haven't denied me. George Washington interview completed, Univ if New England interview in January, waiting on Loma Linda and Western responses. What I've learned is that this process is completely unpredictable, and it is a little cut throat. Don't worry about others' advice too much, all you can fix is you. Volunteer, grab more science classes in the spring, gain more experience even if Western doesn't like it. We are all capable, intense applicants or we never would have attempted this expensive and stressful process. If not this year, then next. While I hope to see you all by march, a lot of the decision making is completely, frustratingly out of our control. Deep breath :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Yaldo Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I threw that number out there because only 8 programs out of the 180ish PA schools offer specialty residencies post grad so the rest are training PAs to have a strong background in primary care. Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I think you are confusing primary care with family practice. Primary care includes internal med, pediatrics, family, ob/gyn and some even consider general surg and EM in this group. These primary care specialties are the foundation which I think all medical providers regardless of specialty should have a strong understanding of and are why they are found in all clinical rotations for every PA program. No program is able to tell you you are not able to go into a specialty after you get your license that is your decision but I get where you're coming from. can we please get in contact my email address is rani_yaldo@yahoo.com i have an interview on the 6th of feb and would like to talk to you if you can help me out. thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s89 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Does anyone know if there is an essay portion during the interview? My previous interviews have all required essays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z PA-C Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Does anyone know if there is an essay portion during the interview? My previous interviews have all required essays. I spoke with a current first year and they said there was no essay but that doesn't mean there won't be one this year. Be prepared for anything.

Torshi Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Are you guys mistakenly posting on a different forum or what? I believe acceptances don't go out until after all interviews have been conducted for Western University which is approx a few weeks into March. Someone please chime in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I called the admission counselor and they stated they're not sending anything out. So are you telling me there's a mistake or they're no longer holding true to giving out acceptances until March all of a sudden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAchick Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My email did not come from my admission counselor. It came from Karen Lopez (the Director of Admissions). It is possible that the admissions counselors are not aware of this email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WUHSPAAdmission Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Afternoon, all! "What are my chances?"This is a common question we are receiving here in the Admissions Office. The program has recently sent acceptences to a few select candidates. As interviews are ongoing, candidates are still being considered and additional acceptances may be made anytime between now and the end of March. Please keep in mind that when you interview does not increase or decrease your chances of being admitted. Rest assured that you will be contacted by email if and when your status changes. In the mean time, please email your designated admissions counselor with any contact information updates.Best of luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
