Liberia Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I see you have an interview coming up! Good Luck on your big day! It was a long day but it was fun! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermedic123 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks so much Liberia! I'm excited but more nervous. Hope you find out the results of your interview soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM2PA Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ^^HIGHLY encourage meeting up!! It helps a ton having some familiar faces at the interview!! 3/4 of us who met up got in :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermedic123 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi HM2PA - I tried reaching out to others on here but no interest as of yet. I've just been going through questions with current students and friends that have graduated in previous years. Please let me know if you have any other ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermedic123 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 If anyone is interested in meeting up tomorrow please message me at phnmedic@uw.edu for a quicker response. I may have a friend who recently graduated come out to chat for a bit at Victrola coffee in Capitol Hill (15th Ave.) I do agree with HM2PA that it would be a great opportunity to meet others the day before. We're thinking 630pm tomorrow. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Petermedic, good LUCK!!! I interviewed in September for Seattle with HM2PA, and we have both accepted offers for Class 48! My best advice is to stay calm and shine. They already saw something in you that they love, so really show them your passion! And, of course, keep us posted.

EMSGuy1982 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Good luck tomorrow Petermedic! You've been preparing for this a long time! Put you best self forward, SMILE, and try to stay calm. They put out camomile tea at the interview. Drink that instead of coffee. Re-read your personal statement tonight and early tomorrow. It really helped me in getting "centered" on the big day. Good luck and let us know how it went! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermedic123 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks so much for the tips and words of encouragement EMSguy1982. Camomile tea it is! I have my PS printed and have been reading it over and over again in the past few days. Congrats on yor acceptance too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktcan10 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Good luck! Wait patiently and don't get disheartened if you don't hear soon. Sometimes takes over a week for calls to finish! Let us know when you hear, because we have a little Facebook group going for our accepted class, and would love to add you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermedic123 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 No rejection in the mail today so that's a win. This waiting is Sooooooo hard. I had to take the day off work because I was stressed...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermedic123 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hey guys- it's a no go for me. I was really sad yesterday but back to the drawing board today in hopes of getting in next year. I did hear from another current student that if you made it to the interview this year that you have a good chance next year. As long as you take out the time to strengthen your application and work on interview skills before the next round. For any reapplicants out there that got in this year or previous years; any tips you could send our way? Thanks so much everyone for all your support. I already have a poster board up with a list of 10 things to accomplish before the next cycle:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm so sorry to hear that! But they do spend a lot of time stressing that reapplicants are praised, so take heart in that. Keep us posted, and stay in touch. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you from a year one student perspective.

Liberia Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 @petermedic123 That is the spirit! Im still sorry to hear the news though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkearney Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 That's too bad, Peter. But I think you've got the right idea. It's a great opportunity to reflect on why you want to be a PA. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your application and address the items you can improve. I, too, have a list of things to accomplish before reapplying.

petermedic123 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Mkearney- we should chat sometime or maybe even meet up. Might be a good way to help each other out to strengthen our apps for next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkearney Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Mkearney- we should chat sometime or maybe even meet up. Might be a good way to help each other out to strengthen our apps for next year! I would definitely be down to do that sometime. We'll keep in touch.
