mbb2017 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 To those who have interviewed this cycle, What does the Student panel/Student presentation consist of? Is it like a Q&A session with current students? Also when do you meet with the adviser to go over transcripts and how many 1-on-1 interviews are there? Thanks so much!

Patricie Stephens Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 How many schools did you guys apply to? I've applied to five schools, four in state and one out of state. I'm really hoping for UTMB though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marissa You meet with the advisor during your 'down' time in between interviews! There are two 1-on-1 interviews that are 20 minutes each :) Good luck!

kpatel4 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Congratulations! Any advice for those of us that have interviews coming up? Just be yourself. Relax. Be confident but humble. Ask questions when asked if you have a question for them. During "down time" talk to the current students. Ask them questions about the program and things outside the program. Main thing is to relax. The faculty are very nice. Do your research about the program and the profession. If you can find common ground with the interviewer it can help. Try to make it a conversation rather than a Q and A but at the same time remember not to ramble. Remember you are selling yourself and the program is selling itself too. If you received the interview that means they think that you could be in the program. They are basically testing to see if you can hold a conversation and can think about things under stress and put together a well organized and good answer to the questions. Good luck!

OTtoPA Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I got an email. But I hope you guys get a chance for the interview. And congrats to those who got in I am sorry as well. DO NOT GIVE UP! RE-APPLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastu Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 My advice to the rejected applicants would be to apply elsewhere and explore other programs if possible. I've found this program to be extremely picky in their selection criteria. Also being a re-applicant doesn't give you an "edge" or anything. They don't really care. Another thing is I've found the staff here to be rude compared to other programs but that's just my opinion. Regardless, the PA programs are extremely difficult to get into and its not the end of the world if you don't get in. Texas programs are very hard in particular so if you can apply out of state too. Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammart34 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Does anyone know how the waitlist works? Do they put people in the order in which they applied or do they put people in order of who they liked most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricie Stephens Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Does anyone know how the waitlist works? Do they put people in the order in which they applied or do they put people in order of who they liked most? If I had to guess, the order is based on who they liked most based on their application and interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTtoPA Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It is just a guess but I since Dec 1st is the last interview that after that they will send out more acceptance letters and start forming the waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
