Saz0503 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I interviewed on Saturday as well. I too was put on Committee hold. I wish I shared your optimistic nature. This was my 7th interview and I have not yet received an acceptance from any of the schools. 3 wait lists, 2 committee holds, 1 no decision yet, and 1 denial. Not really sure what I am doing wrong as no one will give me feedback when I ask for it. Best of luck to you, hope you get accepted! I remember seeing you this Saturday! I haven't been accepted anywhere yet either. I have been on a lot of interviews and have another committee hold, several places I'm still waiting to hear from, and 2 denials. It's frustrating to be sure, but a hold feels much better than a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saz0503 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 What exactly does committee hold mean? It means they reevaluate yor app after each interview session. If you're not accepted after the last one, you get waitlisted. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandCH Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Ok Thanks. So, basically it's a step above wait list. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snp91 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Patrickbaylor, If you are getting that many interviews I don't think there is a problem with your stats. The committee sees something on your application that they liked. Have you done mock interviews with other PAs or any in general to get feedback?

JHK024PA-S Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Comm hold too! Don't worry everything happens for a reason. Hold your heads up high. We made it this far. Congrats to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm on committee hold as well and I got a bit of feedback I got from my interviewer. I am a CNA- that has been my primary experience. The interviewer took my hand, held it, and said, "I really REALLy like you. You did an amazing job. Keep building on your clinical experience." So, I THINK my clinical exp was my big downfall? Honestly, I'm really sorry this happened to you. I don't understand why any school would invite someone to an interview who they didn't deem qualified in clinical hours. It seems like a colossal waste of time on everyone's part, not to mention money on your part. Maybe I'm not totally understanding, but this just leaves a foul taste in my mouth. I really feel for you. Best of luck and I know you will gain an acceptance somewhere - do not give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvyBevvy Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Declined seat today and accepted at another program... albeit very reluctantly, since Pacific runs an amazing program that I would have been proud to be a part of! Best of luck to those who are joining c/o 2018! May this seat be awarded to one of you highly deserving individuals on the committee hold list!

m5z3k61 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It seems like there is a chance to be called/emailed to interview in January still. Not sure if there is a chance to be invited to a Dec. interview. Does anyone know exactly how many interview rounds are left for this program in December and January? Thank you!

moco5 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 From what they said at the interview this past Saturday there is one more interview session in January! This was my 4th interview, and I had been declined and waitlisted at every school I had been to previously. I also applied last year and didn't receive a single interview. I was overjoyed to receive and acceptance call this week from Pacific! It is so hard to stay positive throughout this process as difficult it is being told no so many times, but to everyone who hasn't heard back or recieved and an acceptance somewhere stay positive and keep your head up! Everything will fall into place, and it will work out the way that it is supposed to, I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moco5 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 When I applied last year I had around 900 hours experience. I had just began a job at a hospital, so the majority of my hours came from previous CNA work. To be completely honest, last year was too soon for me to apply. I didn't realize it at the time, but after working full time at the hospital for a year I can not explain how much I have learned. Not just medical knowledge of procedures and surgeries, but how to communicate with patients, families and other medical professionals. I am so thankful I didn't get in last year, which sounds silly but couldn't be more true. So my hours have nearly doubled, but I also changed two of my people that I had write my recommendation letters. Last year I don't think my letters were written by people who personally knew me well, rather people who I thought would write a good letter and were qualified. I also completely redid my personal statement. Last year it was more stating why I wanted to work in the medical field, while it needs to specifically say why PA and have that be the main focus throughout each point you make. Feel free to message me if you have any questions though!!! And stay positive, I really believe that it all works out the way it is supposed to!
