frickypurl51 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm actually a student who sat in on some of these interviews, and you guys have no idea how hard the faculty goes to bat for some of these applicants. In fact, I asked one of the faculty why we have so many interviews, especially when some of the candidates have borderline grades, GRE, or healthcare experience, and I was told that they want to have a picture of the whole interviewee. Sometimes good candidates on paper are the top people, and some aren't always a good fit for the program. They are by no means flippant when rejecting applicants. They were all once in your shoes, too. Often there would be candidates that had less than stellar grades (in the realm of PA applicants) but they ended up as some of the best interviews. Yes, interviews will always be subjective, but that's the way it will work when we go to get jobs as well. For those of you accepted, congratulations! And I strongly encourage you to help with interviews next year. The faculty love your input, and its a great way to see the other side of what you just went through. :) Good luck to everyone still waiting for a decision, too! I just have a quick question. Do you know what the last day to interview is? I'm on the wait list and I really wanna hear back asap! I love the program and can't wait to hear!

Sassafras415 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Got the email today: "After all interview sessions are complete, in December, your application will be compared to the pool of applicants interviewed. We will then be able to update you regarding your application status." A not bad/not good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoneday222 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Not the waitlist because it doesn't say waitlist. This means exactly what it says - You will find out if you are accepted/waitlisted/rejected in December. Crossing my fingers for you!!

paoneday222 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Actually now that I think about it, I'm not sure how anyone would be on the official waitlist yet because all the seats aren't filled until that final round of decisions in December. Just my two cents anyway. I think the official waitlist notifications would roll out at that time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassafras415 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 That's what I was thinking too, but a few people on here said they had been waitlisted, so it threw me off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoneday222 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Agreed. Im thinking they mean they are in the same boat you are in now. Good luck!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmaurer16 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I just have a question to those who have gotten calls of acceptance, how long after the call did you receive your mail/email? Has anyone who interviewed 10/21 heard back yet? I'm starting to get worried now. I know it has only been about three weeks, but I'm starting to overthink. I interviewed on a day they had two groups, 8-12 and another 1-5. I felt a little bit rushed when I walked into the actual interview portion, and wondered if anyone else had this experience or it was just me? I'm not sure if maybe the other groups of faculty gave off a different vibe, but I kinda felt like they had made up their minds before I even walked in the room... not sure if that is good or bad. I know they would have been conducting quite a few interviews that day because of the two groups, so maybe that was it. I didn't hear for a month after my interview. Literally 4 weeks to the day. So it does take some time apparently. I was about to email them that day, then they called. So it wouldn't be a terrible idea just to check on your application and the decision making process.

mrmaurer16 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Also, I was told I would receive a letter in the mail? I haven't gotten an email yet. I'm not sure who said they don't send snail mail, but that's what I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAofPA Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Also, I was told I would receive a letter in the mail? I haven't gotten an email yet. I'm not sure who said they don't send snail mail, but that's what I was told. I got both a letter and an email but it wasn't until like a month after I was accepted.

paoneday222 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Has anyone from the October 21st interview group gotten an acceptance? Just skimmed back through and looks like @Sassafras415 and @Dieselgirl18 interviewed that date. Maybe try personal message? Good luck!!

Pdom73 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Has anyone from the October 21st interview group gotten an acceptance?I interviewed that morning and got an email on 10/29 saying that they'd review my application again in December.

wendynguyen02 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Just received a call from them!!! I'm accepted :) I chose Clearfield Campus since Lock Haven and Harrisburg Campus have a long waiting list as of now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcom_PA Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 So does that mean lock haven and harrisburg are both filled already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassafras415 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Congrats on the good news! That seems odd for two campuses to be filled for both accepted students and the wait list, especially if the majority of applicants are waiting to hear back in December.

BeHappy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I received an acceptance email yesterday and chose Coudersport campus. I spoke with the director of the program and she said that all other campuses are filled and there are only a few seats left at Coudersport. Good luck to everybody!
