EMSGuy1982 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Not sure how much help I can offer but I know that they did do a Seattle interview on 9/24. Looking back in previous threads it sounds like they do more than one batch of interviews. Their website says that they hold interviews Oct-Jan so I wouldn't count yourself out yet. Did they let you know that they didn't choose to interview you last year? I applied to the Tacoma campus and have been anxiously waiting like you. I hope you hear from them soon!

ktcan10 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hey, guys! They indicated to us that there were at LEAST two interview conferences. One has happened already, and we are anxiously awaiting word (eeeeee) and the other one has not happened yet. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av345 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 EMSguy1982: They did inform me that I would not be selected for interview last year, but not until the last week of December. It was fairly agonizing to wait silently for 5 months and listen to all the people getting interviews on here. Exciting for those who make it through though :) Goodluck to all!!

HM2PA Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I have heard that MEDEX started making calls yesterday afternoon. Does anybody know if it usually takes them more than one day, or do they get all the calls made that first day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediMike Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Finally figured out how to work this damn new forum thing...Congrats to all of those who interviewed, and a second round of congrats to those who got the call. It's an amazing feeling isn't it?! I yelled oh shit and ran over a curb. Tim told me not to answer the phone while driving, and well, I just didn't listen. For those of you who interviewed and did NOT receive an acceptance, please don't stress yourselves out. We have a large number of people in our class who interviewed 2-3 times prior to acceptance. Along with looking at your work hx, your experiences, your volunteer and shadow time, the MEDEX selection process includes putting together a class which will work cohesively together, they match up backgrounds and personality types. Do NOT give up, apply again. Ok. Back to the hell that is my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi guys! I have been away for a while, but wanted to chime in now that I've figured out the new forums! First of all - congratulations to all of you who have received the call! To those who are still waiting after interviewing - don't count yourself out for this application cycle until you get a letter in the mail. To those who are still waiting for interview invites - the best thing you can do to prepare for the interview, in my opinion, is to really make sure you know why you want this. Not the canned responses the books tell you to give - but really in your heart why you want to be a PA. Also, on interview day - remember you are always being evaluated, even when you're not in interviews. Be friendly, shake hands, get to know people. I was amazed at the number of incredibly qualified people that were packed into one interview session. I was fortunate enough to get accepted last year, and I know that my classmates at Tacoma and I want to be here for you the same way the first year students were there for us during our process! For those interviewing in Tacoma, or heck for those who go into another interview session in Seattle - I'd be happy to meet the group the night before. I know it really helped calm my nerves last year.... In the meantime.... we are raffling a Seahawks jersey as a fundraiser and also have t-shirts for sale. Buy them now before you're broke in school!

EMSGuy1982 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for the encouraging words Tracie! Still waiting to hear of an invite to the Tacoma interview but am confident I will succeed! I would love to get together when the time comes. Laura from your class also extended an invitation so it would be great to meet as many of you as I could. It must be exciting to be the first class in tacoma. I checked out the classroom pictures on the website and it looks great! I have looked at some interview books but didn't think the stuff in it applied to me. I've just been doing some mock interviews to get comfortable talking about why I want to take this amazing step. Thanks again for your valuable input and look forward to the possibility of being in class 2 in Tacoma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberia Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Congratulations @ktcan! I'm loving the energy on the forum! I can't wait until they start sending invites for Spokane! Thank you very much! Good luck to you, and keep us all posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I cannot WAIT for you guys to get interview invites for Tacoma and Spokane and Anchorage!! @Liberia...I've been to several interviews now, and I must say that the energy on this forum matches the truly amazing selection of individuals that they invite to interviews. I was blown away by the talent, energy, dedication, and generosity that they packed into one room! Best of luck, and keep us all posted! I know we all come together for anatomy in the summer, so we should keep this thread going and get together in Seattle in the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkearney Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 New member here! I've been following along for several weeks and finally decided to register. Congratulations to those who have interviewed and earned admission offers. My preferred campus (based solely on proximity) is Tacoma. But I did indicate I'd be more than pleased with Spokane or Anchorage as well. Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you at an upcoming interview! Would love to get a group together before or after any of the interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
