RTtoPA Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 No idea on how many spots may or may not be at any campus. I do know that a current student told me that at least two other students got switched to Harrisburg last year after people withdrew to attend a different school. Since LHU accepts so early, I think some people send a seat deposit as a place holder for themselves, and then if they get into their 'first choice' school, they drop the earlier seat. That's just my theory though! Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This. We have interviewed at least until the end of October, maybe into November? And I'm almost positive we always save some spots until the interviews are completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This time last year the "class" was 2/3 or 3/4 full already. Just fyi. Not saying you wont be accepted but there are only 12 slots at Harrisburg so I wouldn't exactly count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTtoPA Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I just mean that at this point interviews aren't only for the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoneday222 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I just mean that at this point interviews aren't only for the waitlist. Okay, here's my take: There are two interview sessions per month. Mine was the second session in August. There were roughly 12-15 people in my session. That means that as of the end of September, by a very rough estimate, they would have interviewed 4 sessions, or 60'ish people. There are 76 total seats in the program spread throughout the four campuses. And obviously they didn't accept everyone they interviewed so far. Even if Harrisburg isn't available, you could tentatively accept a seat at a different campus and be put on the waitlist for Harrisburg. That would give you first dibs if/when something opened up. Just my two cents, for whatever's that worth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoneday222 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hi all, does anyone know anything about the graduate assistantships offered by LHU? I've heard they offer one partial GA per campus. Any ideas how they are awarded? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program director will email everyone info once it gets closer to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magdog1 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I interviewed on 9/11 and haven't heard back yet. I forgot to ask about their timeline of admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbegining Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If u r a non traditional applicant don't bother applying .They are very rude to non traditional applicants and most of their students are very young fresh out of undergrad .I had a really bad experience here last year .But I am thankful they didn't take me in because of that I got into a really good school which is not biased against people like us.

paoneday222 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 @newbegining I'm sorry you had such a poor experience! I had the complete opposite experience actually. I am definitely not a traditional student at 28 years old, I own my own home, I've worked in administrative management the past 5 years since undergrad. I've met multiple other non traditional students from there, including two others that have been accepted this admissions cycle. Sorry your experience wasn't as positive! Good luck in your other applications! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you were hoping it would be. I am happy to hear that you were accepted somewhere that sounds like a great fit for you! I have had a totally different experience, so just to share for other non traditional students looking: I am a current first year student. I am non traditional, 28 years old with 2 young children. I felt very welcomed by the faculty and staff at Lock Haven both at my interview and as a student. We have several other non traditional students in our class, one of them being in her 60s! It may be a matter of where you fit best personally, so take every person's situation with a grain of salt :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the impression the decision was already made when I walked into the interview, which isn't good. So far I've been impressed with other programs interviews where I think personal bias is much less of a factor in the decision. I had contacted another staff member about the decision of my application and they had no idea what it had been. So once you get to the interview it really seems to be the mercy of whoever you get interviewing you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unicyclecalvary Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm one of the 12 going to Harrisburg in May 2016 and couldn't be more excited. Lock Haven is probably the most affordable schools in PA and with a $500 deposit, many people hedge their bets and reserve a spot for themselves even with other acceptances pending. Harrisburg is the only campus in South Central PA and for that reason it fills up. For me, despite being accepted to other schools I picked Lock Haven Harrisburg Campus because of the closeness to home, friendly faculty, and the possiblity of clinical rotations/visits at Hershey Medical Center. Stats: 3.75 GPA at Messiah College 3.63 Science 316 combined GRE 4.5 Writing (lol, it didn't matter in the end) EXP: Med Tech PCA: 750 Hours ER Scribe: 200 Hours I had good LOR's and what I think was a strong essay Anyone looking for roommates in the Harrisburg area?

paoneday222 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 @frickypurl51 They do the rotations all over the state of Pennsylvania, and beyond if you request to travel farther. You are responsible for your own housing and travel. However I was told they provide you with a list of previous students' information for each of your rotations for where they stayed, etc. Hope this helps!!

Chrsmarks02 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 That's great, I was hoping to find someone else going to that session. I'm coming from CT. My girlfriend and I thought it would be smart to go early and make a weekend out of it. Especially with all the hurricane talk flying around. Do you plan on going right for the start of it?
