thehikerpa Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Congratulations to all of you that have already been accepted! If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear your stats as far as GPA, Science GPA, and Contact Hours. Thank you and congratulations again! My gap was 3.66 and my science was 3.55. I had only 202 hours when accepted but since then I have about 400! They knew I would be working until school started. I also had a lot of extracurriculars including playing a collegiate sport, so I think that helped me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine824 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks for the reply! It's really helpful to hear from actual people, not just stats on a website. My GPA and situation is similar to yours so maybe I'll be seeing you next year :) Congratulations again on your acceptance! My gap was 3.66 and my science was 3.55.

RTtoPA Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Anyone else interviewing this Friday afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Too early for me, just found the interview invite in my spam folder today.... An option is this friday but I think I'll ask for Sept 12th or Oct 6th. Stats were 3.0 cGPA, 3.2 sGPA, 318 GRE, 3500 hours HCE, 150 hr shadowing. I gathered around 1100-1200 applied and they send about 200 interview invites with about 80 acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onedaypa17 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hi everyone, I was thinking about applying to Lock Haven but I'm a little confused about the satellite campuses. Where/when do you designate which campus you'd like to attend? Or do they assign you to one if you are accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehikerpa Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hi everyone, I was thinking about applying to Lock Haven but I'm a little confused about the satellite campuses. Where/when do you designate which campus you'd like to attend? Or do they assign you to one if you are accepted? Once you are accepted, they will ask you what campus you would like to attend. Lectures rotate from each campus and if the professor is not at your campus, you get it through a live feed. They show you all of this at the interview..it is super cool! I suggest applying ASAP..they have already been filling spots up and they start in May unlike other programs that start in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgazidja Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I interview november 4th. RTto PA, what did the test they gave mainly consist of? Any other info on what to expect on interview day would be highly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTtoPA Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I interview november 4th. RTto PA, what did the test they gave mainly consist of? Any other info on what to expect on interview day would be highly appreciated. You start the session with information about the university (their mission, layout of the program, introduction to faculty, etc). You also do a writing sample and a basic science/anatomy test. I'm pretty sure they just like to see where everyone is starting. I've been told that the test doesn't affect your admittance, though. Finally, you'll interview with (usually) 2 faculty and possibly a student or alumnus. Overall, the faculty and staff are extremely laid-back and welcoming. They really do their best to put you at ease and remind you that the interview day is also a chance to see if they are a good fit for you. Good luck on your interview! I'm sure you'll love them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilmore13 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The test does count towards your admittance, but it counts for very very little. I wouldn't really bother studying for it- personally I don't think it's worth your time. The essay is significantly more important to the faculty, so definitely focus on that.

marcella93ann Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Was anyone else on here accepted to Main Campus? I'm very excited and would love to meet any other people accepted! As far as the interview, don't worry too much about the test (if you want to review anything, look over your anatomy). The faculty are extremely helpful and nice and really just want to get to know you as a person. Good luck on interviews coming up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine824 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It's really great to hear about so many positive experiences with the staff and the overall interview process. I can't wait for my interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
