marskat Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've been reading up on previous posts, and also talking to a PA that I work with. From what I understand, the interview includes an essay, as well as an interview with some of the faculty members and an individual interview. Two of the PAs I work with right now graduated from schools in AZ, one from AT Still and one from Midwestern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrh3618 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I got the call today too!!! Class of 2017!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marskat Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Congrats to everyone!! I'm so excited to be joining the class of 2017. For those who have yet to interview, remember to be yourself. I feel like it really pays off. The faculty is super nice, very personable, and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. They really want to get to know you and make sure that you are a good fit for the program. I know interviewing is stressful. After my interview, I went home and slept the rest of the day. However, nerves are to be expected. Personally, the students and faculty made me feel very comfortable, and it was difficult to stay nervous. All of the interviewing felt like a "get to know you" conversation rather than all of the things I feared. Best of luck to everyone! I can't wait to talk more and meet my fellow students. And I hope to see more postings of people as they continue their journeys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl3267 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Well I haven't gotten a phone call, but I got my acceptance packet email today so I guess that works for me :] Congrats to everyone who has been accepted thus far, I am genuinely stoked because everyone I met at the interview last week was awesome! Good luck to everyone with interviews coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmhall25 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Congrats to all that have already been accepted! I was verified on July 8th. My secondary was submitted on the 15th and I just got an interview email today. Therefore Soei there may still be a chance...BUT The first interview date available wasn't until 11/6 :( I feel like 11/6 will be too late but I wasn't able to submit my application any earlier so I guess I will just hope for the best.
