pa-c1525 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 He ya'll! Went through all this last year (and the two years before that - yay for applying 3 times! not!). I feel your pain, your stress, and your excitement! If you have any burning questions that can be answered by a student, I'm happy to help... What can we expect/be prepared for on interview day?! I haven't found anything about the structure or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areich6 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The interview is fantastic. They have an amazing staff. As I'm sure you have heard it before just be yourself! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomeg300 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 What can we expect/be prepared for on interview day?! I haven't found anything about the structure or anything. Be prepared and be yourself. Practice but don't sound rehearsed. It's an all day event for the most part and they feed you lunch. If you have questions then be sure to ask them, you want the program you choose to be a good fit for you just as much as you a fit for the program. As far as logistics on panel vs. group vs. one on one vs. another format... Be prepared for it all. Things change from year to year and if you read previous years' threads you will get a good idea about what past interviews have been like.

mandrew1 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 pac-1525, One suggestion would be to visit andrewrodican.com and look at the book, How to "Ace" the Physician Assistant School Interview." Also while on the site you can use the "Contact" section to request a FREE 90 page "Focus Pack" that will provide many interview questions, in a test format; (choose A, B, or C), and allow you to select the best answer out of the three questions. The next page will give the rationale for the answer that's most appropriate. Failure to prepare, is preparing to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking all around for one for ATSU PA program this current cycle and I'm glad I found one! I have an interview Sept. 9th, and was looking on past forums about the interview process. Someone posted that there is a writing sample. Anyone know more about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmineirene Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I just got my email for interview invite this morning! I submitted my primary on 5/28 and was verified 6/03. I updated them with volunteer hours to make sure they knew I was continuing with the work over the summer. My date is Sep 9th, anyone else interviewing that day? Hey I'm interviewing that day also!

Lango1am Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Booked my flight! :) I'll be coming in early to Phoenix on the 22nd so I'll be there to explore a bit the day before the interview. So excited to meet you guys, stay hopeful and encouraged! We've all worked so hard to get to even an interview, enjoy this opportunity!

atsu-2016er Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hello. Glad you guys are communicating and sharing info. One thing that I will advise strongly against is sharing/disclosing information with regards to the substance of what goes on during interview. The pages are monitored and inappropriate disclosure can be seen as an integrity/professionalism issue. Not trying to poop on anyone's Cheerios but just reminding all to respect the process.

para3732 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It was a piece of paper stating I wanted to be on the alternate list. Had to sign it and send it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eawilli12 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Has anyone else heard from the August 12th interview? I'm starting to get anxious! So far it doesn't sound like many offers were extended. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamielee Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I also interviewed August 12th and haven't heard anything which makes me extremely nervous. I was debating calling, but am relieved to hear some people are in the same boat. Good luck to everyone in the upcoming interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
