sotom27 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'll be there for the November 1st interview! Got the e-mail a couple days ago and already booked my flights from Boston. I'm staying around Hillsboro so if anyone else is in the area and wants to meet up Friday night let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejantam1 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Congrats all! I certainly hope to hear some good news soon. As of right now, I'm feeling rather discouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASASM92 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Who is available to meet up, around 5:30 pm, on October 3rd? I can arrange, just need a head count. I was thinking perhaps we could go to a casual spot and grab a light dinner? Open to suggestions... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it'd help if we made a new topic for the meetup so it doesn't get lost in this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainy Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi everyone! :) I submitted everything in the end of July and still haven't heard anything. Trying to stay positive! Would those of you who received an interview be willing to share your stats? (GPA, HCE) And congrats on those of you who have received interview dates so far!!

MainerRD12 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Don't get discouraged - I was getting discouraged as soon as I saw other people getting interviews...it is hard not to. Hang in there, they have a ton of applicants to sort through. I have around 4000 HCE - registered dietitian GPA - around 3.75-3.8 25 hours shadowing PA LORs all from people I worked with at my previous position - LTC/rehab - a nurse, consultant RD and facility MD The great thing about this application process is hearing about everybody's different backgrounds - that is highly valued in the application process so be proud of who you are and what you have accomplished!

fakingpatience Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 For those interviewing Oct 4th, I am staying at a hotel near the Portland airport and I was wondering if anyone wanted to split a cab to the campus? I look forward to meeting everyone! PAG did you still need a way to campus? I don't mind swinging by to pick you up, so long as you don't mind going early (I'm always paranoid about running late, especially when I don't know an area).

Wes4981 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I was invited for the Oct 4 interviews but was unable to attend so I will be attending the Dec 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 For anyone interviewing tomorrow, I just scoped out the campus, and there are actually 2 buildings, both which say PA applicants interviews. From the signs and talking to security, we are going to be in the southern of the 2 buildings The parking structure is just south of that building.

yahmedicine Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wes, I thought it was sort of weird to know 2 months ahead but Im not complaining. I know it's way in advance, but interested in meeting up the Friday before hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakingpatience Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 How was the interview on the 4th? I've heard positive things about their interview process. ....hopefully you all had a good experience! You know, I wasn't a huge fan of their interview process. There was over 50 applicants there, split into small groups, whom you went around with for talks, tours, and the interview. I felt it was very impersonal (but the current students leading us around in the small group were great!) the interview itself for me was purely the interviewers reading questions off a paper and writing down my answer, there was no conversation as I've had at other schools. I actually thought I'd done poorly in the interview, but guess they didn't think so... If you have more questions about it feel free to ask me here or PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1208 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I got put on committee hold after the Oct. 4 interview. I don't know what this means for my chances but I'm still excited. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the problem is that the interview itself was so short and it's hard for them to really get to know you in 25 minutes. I'm glad that you did well though.

BBecker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Got my acceptance call from Leah today! I agree with what was said about the interview process. A lot of the interview questions were pretty generic so I had to really make an effort to make it a little more personal. Pacific seems like a great program though. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainerRD12 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 How was the essay? How long do you have to write it? Congrats to you guys! This will be my first interview so I'm a bit nervous but it sounds like nothing was too unexpected. ...thanks for responding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBecker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The essay was an easy topic. I wrote almost a page and a half and didn't feel pressed for time at all. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
