JJC Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I thought I would start a thread for the most recent CASPA cycle. Let us know when you start getting interview/acceptances. I wish you all luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheshark89 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just a heads up... Usually interview invites are sent out late September/early October. All interviews are by the 2nd or 3rd week of November, and the acceptances sent out usually the week of thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawofAttraction Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I applied last year and got rejected. Trying again this year. Thanks again for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICU71 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 This is my first year to apply. Everything is currently under review. I was told I would hear from them the mid-September. I wish all schools interviewed around the same times. I have figured it out the hard way that they all differ. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKR007 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I haven't received anything besides the initial email, but being a little overzealous I tried to re-enter for the interview date and it said I was "already registered" so I guess it went through.

Soulfari Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I got a rejection email from Yale, but I consider myself a "strong" applicant. May I ask some minor stats on all of you who received invites? Are you Ivy League undergrad alum? Stellar GRE scores? Years of extensive and reputable HCE? Just wondering what the "in" factor is for a Yale PA-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbuonocore Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Received confirmation email yesterday. Says there is an essay writing session at some point during the day. Anyone have any info on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgpaddoc Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Congratulations to all you who will be interviewing this year!!! I am a student in the PA program here at Yale, class of 2015. Please let me know if you have any questions about the interview day or anything. I saw one question about the essay portion of the interview so I will tell you that last year it consisted of 4 hypothetical scenarios that you would find yourself in as a practicing PA and asks you to respond in short essay form how you would respond to that scenario. Along with the essays there was a 1 on 1 interview with the program director and a 3 on 1 interview with other members of the admissions committee. I will give you a heads up though that we have a new program director this year and I'm not sure if he is planning on changing things up for interview day or not. So take what I say here with a grain of salt. I know I can speak for the rest of the first years when I say we are looking forward to meeting you all in a few weeks. Good luck, and try not to stress too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
