em873 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I received an interview invite today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Interview on August 4th in the afternoon. For anyone else, the interviews are very laid back I was only asked a few questions. Couldn't have lasted more than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetéToPA Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi. I was just offered an interview! First one. On their website they say there is a science based test given during the interview day. Know anything about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphycol31 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hey! I also received an email interview. I was verified around the 1st of June. I got the email from them about the interview on July 8th for August 19th. It is also the first school I have heard back from. I emailed the woman regarding the science test and she said she was unable to provide any information on it because it is a "pop" exam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetéToPA Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, ok. I can't even imagine what sort of questions they would ask. I'm trying to decide which date to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, ok. I can't even imagine what sort of questions they would ask. I'm trying to decide which date to pick. Approach it like any other interview you would have, make sure you have good talking points about why you want to be a PA and the ever common "tell us about yourself/biggest life challenge" kind of questions. The test is on anatomy and pathophys mostly and does not have a bearing on if you are accepted. Are you guys doing afternoon or morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetéToPA Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks! I'm also wondering if I should go to the afternoon interview and save myself a hotel stay or not. I live 5 hrs away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Afternoon! Well thats what I'm going to. They say it goes until 5 but I think I was out of there at about 4 last year and I was dead last to be interviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetéToPA Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ok, I booked my interview for Aug. 19, 1:00 pm. Let me know if you'll be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm on the 4th, did they give you a choice of dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetéToPA Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes, they gave me some dates and asked me to choose a 1st and 2nd choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Always go with the earliest, Lock Haven in particular is not so good at saving spots for later. I was in the third interview group last year and 2/3 of the class was already filled! (they dont tell you this but i talked to students i know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTtoPA Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hey guys! I'm a current student at Lock Haven's Harrisburg campus. I would say take the earliest interview you are able to because it's rolling admission. A certain amount of people will get offers within days of the interview, some will get calls after interviews have all been done, and then there's the waitlist of course. If you have a campus preference (particularly Hburg), early interviews can be especially important! Also, don't stress about the science test. It has some bio and some A&P, but it doesn't count against your interview. It's mostly to see where everyone is. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoneday222 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hey all, could you please post stats if you received an interview? Trying to evaluate my chances since I haven't received an invite yet. I NEED Harrisburg campus because I own a home here and can't relocate. Judging by how quickly Harrisburg fills up, I'm thinking I may be out of luck. Any input greatly appreciated!

Disciple3 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I posted mine in the Applicant Stats - Not yet accepted thread. Last page I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTtoPA Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hey all, could you please post stats if you received an interview? Trying to evaluate my chances since I haven't received an invite yet. I NEED Harrisburg campus because I own a home here and can't relocate. Judging by how quickly Harrisburg fills up, I'm thinking I may be out of luck. I have a 3.43 cumulative GPA. 3.37 science - which should be a little higher because I retook one for an A since submitting CAPSA. My regular undergrad GPA was 3.53 cumulative, but I took some grad (500 level) coursework which obviously pulled my GPA down a little. GRE 316. Roughly 900-1000 hours health care experience. Any input greatly appreciated! Just an FYI: Yes, Hburg fills up quickly most years, but they do make a waitlist of students accepted to other branches, and I think this year we have at least 2 people who ended up getting to switch to Hburg. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphycol31 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 My interview is at 1:00 pm on August 19th :) As far as my stats go: 304 on GRE with a 5.0 on the essay portion, about a 3.83 general GPA, about a 3.65 science GPA, 530 HCE in two different hospitals, 60 hours of shadowing, research at my school, lots of leadership extra curricular activities Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Got an acceptance phone call! The interview was very relaxed and laid back. They had students there for questions while you waited for your turn to be interviewed and had the Harrisburg campus streaming in to give you a feel for how the branch campuses worked. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
