bkasprzy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just called the admissions office today who stated my application is still pending review (so weird, I applied early) and that they are finishing up interviews this month. If you don't get contacted here shortly you will receive a "end of cycle" letter/e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teilani64 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yes! Midwestern is still interviewing. My app had been on hold, and I just got the invite for Feb. 23. Hopefully I'll see some of you there. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear, and congratulations to all those already accepted. I'm so excited, I can't wait!!

heisman1979 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Teilani64, When did you receive your "application on hold, pending interview" letter? I'm in the same boat, hoping to receive an invitation soon. Congratulations on your interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAnoob Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow I'm surprised they are still interviewing. My application was placed on hold pending potential interview as well. Hoping to hear from them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurePA89 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I received a letter from MWU saying that I was on the waiting list for an interview. I recently got an email from them offering an interview. I am heading down to AZ on Feb 21st, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the interview process or how the day is set up? Congrats to everyone who has gotten accepted so far! Congrats on your interview invite! The interview day started early morning around 7:30 and they have snacks and coffee for us to chat with current students until the program director comes and gives us a brief presentation. Then the interview with faculty members which lasted about an hour per session. On my day, there were two sessions and two groups per session. Each room has two faculty members and two or three applicants and it was really more like a conversation led by those typical PA interview questions that we can find online. Then after the interview there is a tour of the campus then we have lunch at the cafeteria with current students which you dont have to stay if you have to go. There were only 9 applicants on the day I went so the entire process was over around noon. My tip for the interview is really be yourself so maybe its better that you dont overprepare the answers to the questions. Honestly some questions I had no answers to it because I was too lazy to prepare myself and do the research for good answers to typical questions and said "I dont know I havent really thought about these things but I guess blahblahblah..." but nevertheless I heard the good news after three days. I dont even have all the prerequisites yet and my GPA and GRE are all about average applicant stats. I definitely showed my sincere interest in MWU during the interview and I think thats what helped me. Hope this helps! Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurePA89 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Excellent quality to have. I meant to say "too busy". Sorry for not reading it before submitting it. Anyway I was only trying to help answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestUserEver Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I meant to say "too busy". Sorry for not reading it before submitting it. Anyway I was only trying to help answer questions. You have no reason to apologize, you thought "too lazy" sounded hip, "I'm so awesome I can be lazy and still get in." I am willing to bet that is usually not a winning strategy, however, it worked for you, so good for you. I hope it continues to work for you when you're here; it's a very expensive mistake if it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betterusernamethanyou Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I hope you two unknowingly become Big/Little's. I can see the start of something wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestUserEver Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm going to troll my little harder than the cardiology exam will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betterusernamethanyou Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Haha that would be quite the accomplishment. My current distraction from finals is figuring out who you are. Clues I have so far. 1. You are in my class. 2. You troll for fun. 3. Your sarcasm is hilarious. 4. You want to be distracted from studying this week as much as I do (this fourth quality eliminates approximately 2 people in our class). All joking aside though, if futurePA89 got into the program there was definitely a good reason. Even if you felt unprepared, (I'm not sure anyone feels fully prepared when they get to the interview) you were accepted because you fit the mold. Midwestern is excellent at making good PA's. Mostly because they know how to select students who they know will make great practitioners. Good luck in your final preparations for PA school!

teilani64 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 heisman1979, I got my letter back in October. I was surprised I got the opportunity to interview. I have already made plans to work on improving my application with more HCE hours, certifications, and maybe a GRE retake. I guess now I'm prepared for the worst, but hoping for the best! I will find out whether or not I got in by next Monday. futurePA89 did a great job describing the interview day. Midwestern really tried to de-stress the process as much as possible. I hope you get an invite soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenniferpa99 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think if your portal says Applicant Checklist, then you are waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heisman1979 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Is the cycle closed. I never received a response (rejection/interview invite)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyc010 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is the cycle closed. I never received a response (rejection/interview invite)? I haven't heard anything either. I've contacted the school and they said I was still under the waitlisted status. I actually haven't received a formal rejection letter from Touro CA either but you can find out your status by contacting them. I knew I was rejected from Touro since March and they said the letters will be sent out late April early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
