faPA35 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Spoken to? no...but I did get this from them yesterday... The Arizona School of Health Sciences/A.T. Still University Physician Assistant Program currently has all seats/interview slots filled for the class beginning in June 2016. We are no longer accepting secondary application payments at this time. Your CASPA application will remain on file and you will be contacted should seats open up at a later date. If you are interested in applying to our program for the next application cycle, we encourage you to complete your file early as we offer seats on a rolling admissions basis. Thank you for your interest in the ASHS/ATSU Physician Assistant program. Little annoyed at this, I understand thats the name of the game in rolling admissions...but to fill them before september? Seems like they might as well set their application deadline for July 1st. When did you receive your application complete status? I'm just wondering because I didn't receive that email.

pa-c1525 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Are all "seats" for the class filled or just "interview slots"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmineirene Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 All the interview slots are filled. Not all the seats for the incoming class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msali07 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 When did you receive your application complete status? I'm just wondering because I didn't receive that email. Neither did I... When I spoke to Amanda, she told me that once seats open up, more interviews will be given out. So I hope maybe couple weeks from now, they might have a some slots.

karebear12892 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 When did you receive your application complete status? I'm just wondering because I didn't receive that email. I didn't receive that email, either. I submitted my application back in early June and haven't heard anything since the email acknowledging my application was complete.

I submitted my application back in early June and haven't heard anything since the email acknowledging my application was complete. Hmm that is odd considering you applied early. I don't know how their admissions process works but I would assume they let us know our status either way. I tried calling admissions but received voicemails every time I called.

sherrysher00 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I applied late and I received the email stating all they slots were filled. I wasn't aware that "rolling" meant slot would be filled by the due day. Its my first year applying so I am learning alot with this process. Good luck to everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaniels Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 At least they are being honest and not just taking your money and running. Applying early is really important though. I applied last year and was wait listed by 4 schools this year I'm already accepted at AT and have 4 interviews lined up. If you don't get in this year apply as soon as caspa opens up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmineirene Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah applying early to rolling schools is a must. I put my applications in back in May about 2 weeks after caspa open. Has everything ready to go even my letters I requested to have done b4 caspa opened. Wrote my essay before caspa opened as well so all I had to wait for was my letters to be recieved and my transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still University - Arizona School of Health Sciences is complete. Your credentials will now be submitted to the Screening Committee for review and pending the Committee's recommendation, you will be notified of your application status."

karebear12892 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Called admissions yesterday, and they confirmed that all interview slots have been filled. However, they are continuing to review applications in case interview slots open up. She didn't sound very hopeful, but at least she was honest.

karebear12892 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Didn't you submit your application early? I am trying to figure out how they're sending interviews I sure did. I submitted my application on June 11th and received an email on June 22nd stating it was complete. I don't know how they are sending out interviews; I would have thought that if I hadn't received an interview invitation by now, I would have received a rejection.

mncourtney Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Is anyone else interviewing on November 18th? I also have a feeling all seats will be filled by the time I interview. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhmbl Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I withdrew my interview invitation for Sept 9th so there should be a spot opening up pretty soon! :) good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mncourtney Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If anybody is giving up an interview sooner than November 18th, could you please PM me before you release it so I can go in and take the sooner date? Bonnie said that they get snatched up fast, so any additional notice would be greatly appreciated. I would like to interview sooner if possible. Thanks!!

jasmineirene Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 For those that interviewed here any light to shed on the type of questions interviewees should prepare for? Did they ask a variety of questions or only situation/behavioral, ethical, or traditional questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaniels Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Honestly there were no questions that made me sweat so don't worry. ATs interview style was relaxed and mainly focused on seeing if your goals match theirs mainly to serve in a primary care capacity to underserved groups and areas. It was so important that in the beginning of the session Dr. Simon told us that if you don't care about the mission, they don't want you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmineirene Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Perfect! The whole reason I applied was for their mission so that's great news. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmineirene Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hey I just got into Mesa, staying at the country inn and suites. Anyone else here?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npop Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Did anyone bring a printed resume with them to the interview? It feels counterintuitive since they have CASPA. I think I'm overthinking this. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrew1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Do NOT bring your resume to the interview. Everything they need to know about you is included in the CASPA application. Additionally, Do NOT cover what's in your resume when you write your essay. While on the Yale admissions committee one young lady submitted her resume with her application (this was before CASPA). In the bottom right hand corner, under "special talents", it read; "I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue." There were two women PAs and myself conducting the interview. Needless to say,the two women weren't too happy with that comment. The applicant was also an "Off-Broadway" actress. So when we asked her to tell us about her most memorable patient, she began talking about her Mom who had cancer. She then began to cry. One of the female interviewer's asked her; "How do we know you're not acting now?" Ouch! Needless to say if she hadn't submitted her resume, she may have been accepted, maybe??? The take home message is, don't give them more than they ask for!

BBPA Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi everyone ~ I'm not sure if anyone posted about this yet but they offered all of the spots for interviews and will not be extending anymore interviews for this cycle - per Scott. Good luck to those with interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
