Szen Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I interviewed on Tuesday, December 16th and was offered admission a few hours after the interview over the phone. Happy to say that I'll be part of the LLU class of 2017! As for the interview...it was probably the toughest interview I've had yet. Stay strong, be yourself and you'll be fine!

Heart 4 Health Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm interested in applying to LLU's program for the upcoming cycle. I just was wondering if the program participates in rolling admissions or not? I've looked through their site and FAQs, and it doesn't seem to mention anything about it. It does state that interviews are conducted in January and February, which made me think they don't participate in rolling admissions. Yet, after reading this thread, it seems like that was inaccurately stated and they may participate in them. Can someone clarify this for me? Thank you for your time and help in advance! Good luck to all during this cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to all during this cycle! I'm fairly certain that they do rolling admissions. I applied rather late IMO (August) and managed to snag an interview with them in Mid-December. They wanted me to come in November, but I had a scheduling conflict. Most schools that do not participate in rolling admissions will explicitly state it (MBKU, for example). I think it's safe to assume that programs that don't state it do participate in rolling admissions. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpeebs Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I sent in my supplemental in December and I received an email today from Loma Linda asking me to fill out financial aid information. Is this a standard step for everyone who submits a supplemental or only for those LLU is interested in interviewing? I appreciate feedback .

Bpeebs Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thank you aviphung! Do think that it would be okay if I would contact LLU regarding my supplemental? Are they pretty receptive to these types of questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efsalaza Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Oh my goodness I got an interview for the 27th of January! I'm so nervous and excited! Any tips besides being yourself? Also, if anyone would like to meet up on this date let me know because I'm down! I hope everyone hears back soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agatha Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi Efsalaza Tips: 1-You will be nervous like everyone else in the room but when you talk to others it will help to relax you. 2-be prepared ahead of time and make mock interviews with ur friends or family to answer the questions (some suggest to buy the book), I never read it but prepared from online suggestions 3- study for the medical terminology. I forgot some of my med.terms. :( Good luck hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efsalaza Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Agatha, Thank you so much for responding!! How insightful, I really appreciate your time. In regards to the essay questions, were they as rough as their supplemental questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpace8136 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just like all the books say, if you know who you are, why you want to be a PA you'll be able to do the essay questions without any issue. Don't stress, just relax and try your hardest to fulfill your dream. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efsalaza Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hey bpace8136, Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! Looking at your picture I see you have 2 children! How awesome! I know loma linda is a religious institution. Should I be worried that I am an unwed father of 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpace8136 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I wouldn't be worried, and I wouldn't withhold it....If they ask then let them know and be positive about it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know loma linda is a religious institution. Should I be worried that I am an unwed father of 2? Don't sweat it! Just because LLU is a religious campus doesn't mean that they are going to judge you. We have a single mom in our class and even some atheists. Congrats on getting an interview and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyp815 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I also received an interview for January 27th! I am still in disbelief and cannot contain my excitement. I look forward to meeting the rest of the interviewees on that day. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efsalaza Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hello everyone, One more thing! I'm really really stressing over the attire! Im very simplistic I own about 5 shirts and 3 pairs of pants. I'm not entirely sure how to dress for this! I know it has to be fancy but I'm not sure what is appropriate and what's not, any advice? I'm a male btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpace8136 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I wouldn't do anything less than a suit and tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure how to dress for this! I know it has to be fancy but I'm not sure what is appropriate and what's not, any advice? I'm a male btw I will echo the above and say suit and tie. Avoid anything too flashy. Also if anyone is interested this was a good read and actually has a methodology supporting their PA ranking system. LLU did really well!
