SRIA Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 @Shayp I submitted to Worcester in August and received no correspondence until I recently emailed them to check on my application. They wrote back saying they were currently reviewing my completed application. That was ~10 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayp Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 @SRIA thanks for your response! I was wondering more as to why mcphs admission staff said that "CASPA was still processing my app", unless they meant that mcphs was still reviewing my app, which I completely understand!

SRIA Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Congrats on your invite @amit10! Are you coming from out of state? I'm driving up that morning from CT. Not sure what the written essay is about. But if we go by previous threads it's not too stressful. Maybe more like a writing sample to see our style of writing.

smccccc Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think the actual 1:1 is 20-30 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurePA302 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I interviewed on Feb. 12. Has anyone who interviewed on this date heard back yet? I know they said within 2 wks but I'm getting antsy Does anyone know how many people they interview versus how many they accept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccccc Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I did not hear yet. They said 2 weeks but on previous forums it seemed to take 1. Of course then there was the holiday monday, which probably would push our 1 week time frame to this friday. So I guess we will see...Also they said they had a lot of snow days so it could take longer than a week I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurePA302 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah it seemed like it was closer to a 1 wk turnaround last year that's why I asked... The wait is just brutal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit10 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Can someone describe the actual interview process? Was it just a 1:1 with a faculty member? And about how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurePA302 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It was about a 45 min - 1 hr info session followed by a 30 minute writing sample. After that everyone was split into groups of tours with current students while one group went to 1:1 interviews with one faculty member that was about 30 minutes and then the groups rotated.

rachiehayes Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I enjoyed the overall interview process and was very impressed with the program. During the presentation and interview they also stressed that the program was accelerated. Be ready to address weaknesses in your application. Be genuine and honest. Other questions were normal questions like why do you want to be a PA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
