Shiver_j Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 @ru2013 during my interview there weren't too many questions on MPH, it was more PA focused- but that could have changed... Would nyone who interviewed this week mind sharing the format for this years interview? Thanks, and hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifelongteacher Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 @samhian, I submitted the supplemental in the second week of Sep and haven't heard back yet. Puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLADRB1 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 For those interviewing on October 27, I'll be driving up from Southern California (Ventura County) if anyone wants to carpool. I went to an interview at UC Davis recently, and there were plenty of us that could have potentially carpooled, so send me a message if you're interested!

vtension Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I interviewed on October 21. The interview consisted of MMI, group interview, and a couple of individual writing activities. All I can is that the questions were designed to really asses who you are and your motivations for wanting to become a PA.

Shiver_j Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks @vtension for your input! Can I ask what MMI is? Is it just one on one interviews with a time limit? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucmed Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 MMI is Multiple mini interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtension Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 MMI is many multiple interviews. We had 8 mini interviews that were timed. Each interview was with one or two faculty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtension Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The prompts were very diverse. They use a variety of ways to ask questions and assess you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiver_j Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks for the info! Is there a good way to prepare for MMIs? I've heard you really can't prepare for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtension Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 They emphasized that a large part of admission hinges on whether they feel a candidate is a match/fit for their program. So I wouldn't worry too much about giving the right answers. They just want to know who you are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtension Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 They haven't sent out any acceptances yet. My group was the first to interview on October 20. They said between now and next spring, they are interviewing at least 8 or so more groups. I can't remember exactly.

JuniorTech2 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I just received an invitation to interview for 11/3. About one week in advance notice, maybe someone declined last minute and I'm taking their spot? Either way, excited for the opportunity and hope to see some of you there!

eyp815 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Congrats to everyone else who received the interview! I interviewed on 10/20/15 as well and the students, PA and MPH faculty are amazing and truly welcoming. Just a note to those who have interviewed already, it is great that we are providing insight to those who are scheduled to interview, but lets keep in mind that students and faculty members browse through these forums as well. I believe it is important to keep the integrity of the interview process. My advice to those would be to go in with a collaborative mind and be comfortable with yourself. Good luck to all of us!!

Rahkat Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Juniortech-I also just received a call yesterday for the Nov. 3 interview. I was really surprised and it is right around the corner! For anyone wondering-I received confirmation of my file being complete on Sep. 2 and had also anxiously been waiting since then. Have hope and be patient! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahbee21 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Congratulations and good luck. I'm curious how you know acceptances have gone out? I'm one of those anxiously waiting to hear. The director told us at the 10/27 interview that they have started to send out acceptances (and will continue to do so on a weekly basis). She said 2-4 weeks would be the most likely timeframe. She also said if you were struggling to make a decision about another school because you were waiting to hear back after your interview from Touro, give them a call.
