paoneday222 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Random heads up for those of you traveling far to attend interviews: I stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Suites. That hotel is literally a two block walk to the building where the interviews are. I booked through Priceline name your own price and we paid $50 a night. I'm from Harrisburg, which is like 1.5 hour drive but I was in the early session. I didn't want to get up at like 5 am and drive and be frazzled, so for $50 and a nice room, it was definitely worth every penny!! Good luck everyone!

paoneday222 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Also, the hotel had a great free breakfast. I had a croissant and a cup of coffee on my walk over. Very relaxing and worth it so you can be focused on the interview and not on driving/traffic/lack of sleep/etc. Just my two cents :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frickypurl51 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?I'm planning on being at the campus around 12:30 Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendynguyen02 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hey guys! I'm having my interview on Oct 5th too! But in the morning session :( Please message me if anyone is in the morning session as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrsmarks02 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 @PAOneDay- thanks for the heads up! We looked into it but the price ended up being a bit steep, and priceline wasn't being too kind. We are staying at the Best Western right down the road though. Appreciate the heads up! @Frickypurl51- Look forward to meeting you! My name is Chris. @Wendynguyen- good luck!

eholler Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I was recently accepted to Lock Haven and just wanted to give a heads up for those of you are interviewing soon. The interview is very laid back and the staff are very nice and welcoming. The interview becomes more of a conversation about why you want to be a PA. I had a really good experience. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgs1993 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Does anyone know how they send rejections. If they do it by letters or email? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetéToPA Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi guys, I don't know how they send rejections but they call you personally for acceptance. They get back to you very quickly which is a refreshing change from the other programs I interviewed at. I feel like they called the morning people the same day or day after and the afternoon people the next day or two after the interviews. I really appreciate how together Lock Haven is and respectful of people's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendynguyen02 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Just got back from my interview and I had to say it was a very pleasant experience! Less nerve wracking than I expected. All the staff and students were friendly and they asked a few questions to get to know about you and your motivation to become a PA. If you're from another state, be prepared to answer why you want to go Lock Haven in PA! Just like everyone else said, the interview was more of a conversational style. Two faculty members interviewed me. One was from Lock Haven campus and one was from Clearfield! (she was actually on a phone with a little screen that displays her face). Now it's time for the waiting game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daybeach13 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I interviewed on October 5th and received an email on the 6th saying that my application will be reviewed when all interviews are finished. Did anyone else receive this email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrsmarks02 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I just got that same email. Hoping that it isn't as bad a sign as it feels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrsmarks02 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I just went back and read previous classes forums. It seems like it is pretty typical that a couple people get accepted quickly following their interview, and most others receive that email. In December we will probably hear whether we are accepted or waitlisted (and what our wait list ranking is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Last year and I'm assuming this year were different. By the time the last interview is conducted the majority of the seats have been filled because they don't want "competitive" applicants still searching for a position at another school. Not trying to be a downer, but if you haven't heard I'd put your energy and hopes into other programs you've applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
