Guest Merlins Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Nice Caleb_jo! When was your CASPA verified/suppapp submitted? I'm still waiting to hear something (verified early Aug). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainy Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Congrats caleb_jo! I'm also still playing the waiting game. Verified application end of July. The email I received said that they didn't hold interviews until November or December so I was surprised to hear about interviews and acceptances before then. Congrats to those of you who have received the good news so far! My fingers are still crossed but I'm getting a bit scared. This is my top choice school.

shaunalkema Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have never been so excited to check my spam every day hoping for an invite. I look forward to my spam folder every day more than having to reply to boring emails. Has anyone gotten a rejection letter from them yet this year?

sotom27 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 anyone interested in meeting up tomorrow night for drinks/apps in the hillsboro area? I'm landing in Portland around 2pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoopeda Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Interviewed today. Such an impressive faculty and curriculum. Love the systems-based and team-based learning, facility, and overall philosophy. Really bummed about the massive amount of (self-paid) travel required second year (as a parent). (So many programs support commutable rotation locations. If only Oregon had one. Sigh... They look at their rotation sites as a glass half-full, but ultimately everyone seemed to admit they simply can't find enough quality local sites for everyone. Why is it so many east coast schools can manage this, yet west coast seem not to be able to?) For those about to interview, note, the day is amazingly well-organized and runs like butter. Such a pleasure to visit. The only shocker for me was that--despite being on campus from 7:30am until about 1:30pm--you only interview one time (with two people simultaneously) for 25 minutes! Leah explains that once you've made the interview, the "slate" is cleared, and the only thing that's considered from there forth is the interview performance. 25 minutes! The whole rest of the day is very low key, and my actual interviewers were wonderfully comfortable and conversational. But 25 minutes! Some people fly in for that performance. Well, at least it's worth the flight to see the sim lab and meet the faculty. All-in-all an excellent experience and an excellent didactic program. If only they could sustain more quality local rotations... Definitely at least visit, if invited, and good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainerRD12 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I interviewed yesterday too and when she said that 25 minutes was going to be all we were judged on....by 2 people...I almost threw up. I feel I did well but the competition is so fierce... good luck to everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipac Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Got an e-mail today, I was put on committee hold. I will be attending another program, best of luck to y'all! Seemed like an impressive program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainerRD12 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 I was flat out rejected :( Not sure what went wrong, as I felt everything went great. Oh well - good luck to all and I suppose everything happens for a reason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluelilly Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Don't feel bad about getting rejected. I'm sure you are a superior person and student. It's not the end of the world. You will be accepted to the program that is best suited for you. You are going to become a fantastic PA!!! Shake it off and keep pursuing your dreams my dear. Wishing you the best in ur pursuit.

zoopeda Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's such a weird process. A "numbers game" they say. You never know who is going to take a liking or disliking to little things you say in your interview. To be judged in 25 minutes, among so many incredible candidates... It's insane, really. Good luck to you, and go get in somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omw_2_PA Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Is it safe to assume for all of us who haven't heard a peep, that the interview dates have been filled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoopeda Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 No. Even if they've filled all the slots, there will be some people who decide to cancel their interview up until the last minute. Pacific will try to fill all the slots they can to ensure a full interview schedule. (I know this because I was offered an interview one week before the Nov date.)
