Han2332 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Also waitlisted, I find it hard to believe anyone on committee hold was actually accepted. Han2332, how do you know they went that deep off the waitlist last year? One of the student ambassadors told me during the interview day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csue Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Anyone know an exact start date for the program? May 23rd is the first day of on campus orientation. I know there's an online orientation that starts before in May, but not sure which day exactly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csue Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Online orientation is May 9-20, on campus orientation is the 23-27, and first day of classes is May 30th. Hope that helps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbourdon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Still no news, so I thought I'd help pass the time. I'm just curious, for those of you on committee hold/wait list, how did you feel your interview went? I think it's interesting how we are usually our own worst critics. My friend had an interview for a masters program, thought she did absolutely terrible on the interview, but got accepted! I was just curious about how you guys felt? No pressure to answer... just some friendly convo. I already posted above that I felt my interview went well, until a final comment from the interviewer made me feel like I was being rejected then and there. Boo!

JHK024PA-S Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The waitlist rankings begin! Check your email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickbaylor Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Well at least we know where we stand now. For my fellow wait listers, are there other schools you still have a chance of getting into? I still have one final interview this Saturday at my top choice, I'm wait listed at 2 more schools, and Committee Hold at another school (should hear by mid February).

mrshazzardpa Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I will be declining my waitlist spot as I was accepted to my top choice last month. I have just been waiting on my offical acceptance from them before I do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB0813 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Waitlisted here (#23), and at another program. Still waiting to hear back from 2 others. What number are you guys on the waitist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbourdon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My fingers are crossed that everyone that gets accepted SOMEWHERE... (and leaves a spot open for me here as this is my only option) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbourdon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Question for those of us on the waitlist. I guess no matter how far fetched getting accepted is, we should still go through with the financial aid... just incase... right? I think they said that on interview day.

patrickbaylor Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Tbourdon I believe you are correct. I plan on filling out FAFSA even if I still haven't gotten accepted or off a wait list. Better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I myself have been waitlisted at 4 places, including this one. All over the place, too... Massachusetts, Alabama, Texas, and now here. This is the only school that has ranked the waitlist for me. The others all say that they will 'reevaluate the waitlist as a spot becomes available'. So I am in waitlist limbo, haha. A bit surprising (and encouraging for us) that they went so deep into the wait list last year. Does anyone know if they have made final decisions about their class? patrickbaylor, I believe I saw you on another thread about the interview you will be going to soon. I also interviewed there in November... they are the last program I am waiting to hear from. Good luck, the MMI is definitely unique and the program ain't too shabby either. :) Tbourdon, I just started filling out my FAFSA this week. It's a very good idea to fill it out, even if you have no definite prospects. That way the aid is ready when you get accepted ;). You have to put in tax information, but there is an option called 'will file' where you can estimate your tax income from 2014, and go back and submit changes later after you have done your 2015 taxes.

corpsmanvan242 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I know you all are anxiously waiting to hear back from the program . It's hard when you are on committee hold. I just want to let you know that they did go into the 50's last year. I'm a current student so I know it to be the absolute truth. Don't be discouraged keep your head up and just wait for that phone call!!! Do you have any information on attrition rates? I apply this coming fall!!

Bluelilly Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Corpsmanvan242 There are not very many people who fail out of this program. The main reasons people leave are for Personal reasons. I don't have exact %ages but it's extremely low with my class. Inbox me and ask whatever u need to. Pacific has a great program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayleyrene Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi everyone! I recently got into Pacific and was wondering if anyone knew of a Facebook group that has been made to connect with everyone else who is in the class. If anyone has information please let me know! -Cayley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saz0503 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Moved up a decent amount on the waitlist from people declining the waitlist! Though still far far away from acceptance haha. But it's nice they keep you updated on your status so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickbaylor Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I removed myself from the wait list since I got an acceptance to my top two schools. I was number 24 on the wait list at the last updated. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! I hope you get in. And to those that have already been accepted and are attending Pacific, best of luck to you! It's a great program :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
