mtnbiker Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi All, I got my invite to interview by email today. Interview is Aug 7. I was alternate last year so I am looking forward to the interview and meeting the other interviewees. Last year the wait for interview, then the wait for accept/reject/alternate seemed forever. I started this thread so we can keep in touch and share info we learn along the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnbiker Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 thanks Aisha, I've heard that the clinicals are being integrated in earlier in the curriculum (before second year). Are you in any clinical settings yet as an official student? Any advice for the interview is always appreciated too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KangaRu Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I got my interview invite as well, August 7th! Aisha, are you willing to spare any information as far as how the interviews are set up? Or any advice at all actually haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisha89426 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The first semester (fall 2013) we didn't have any integration into the clinic. One of our professors set up shadowing opportunities over the summer for many of the students, including myself. Our year's master's project is in the clinic as well, and that starts fall 2013. I'm not sure if you all will have the same format for your master's project though. The professors here put a lot of time into the students, and are always thinking of different ways to get the students involved in the clinic before 2nd year. So I'm sure your grade will have something different that our grade didn't get to do. the interview process was a little different this year than last year...but last year i heard back after around a week! some advice I found helpful for my interview last year was to find something unique about yourself that makes you different and stand out from others. the interview is a really long day, so be prepared. but many of my classmates will be there to help out with the interview process.

pahopeful2016 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 For those of you that applied last year and didn't get in, do you remember how many people were present at the individual interview and about how long that part lasted? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimberlyrr Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Congrats to all with interviews and good luck! I will be interviewing on Aug 6th 8-11:30.

Myamos1 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well I guess that answers my question :-/ I was an alternate last year but haven't received an email...not what I was expecting to say the least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrose426 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I am interviewing at Morehead on Aug 8th at 8am, so yes, they must be having morning and afternoon interviews. good luck to everyone at their interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbiker Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 To those who asked how interview was structured last year: this is my best recollection ... the group ~12 interviewees was addressed by directors, then we rotated through a couple of one-on-one interviews, a one interviewee and two interviewer scenario and a group interview with four of us. Each session was around 20 minutes. Then we had a wrap-up / questions session and tour of classrooms etc. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahopeful2016 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for the info, mtnbiker! How many interviewers were present at the group interview? And was that one relaxed, like a group discussion at a table or was it more formal with all 4 interviewees facing the interviewer(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbiker Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Group interview had two interviewers and everyone was at one table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnbiker Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 A friend of the PA student working in my ER got her rejection letter today. She had interviewed on Monday ... hoping to hear something soon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlchan1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Maybe they sent out reject letters Monday. Looks like they would have sent out everything together. Maybe acceptance letters will go out this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahopeful2016 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know classes start back Monday. Hopefully emails get sent out Friday or Monday morning. I don't see them dragging the process past their two week break and into a new term. Seems like they would already have enough going on without trying to find a time for everyone to get together and go over applicants. Good luck to all! Let us know if you hear anything!
