ST@PSU Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 When are applicants that are not chosen for interviews notified? Does that occur on a rolling basis or does it occur after interviews are finished? I do not know from personal experience but have a friend who did not get selected for an interview with us last cycle. She was only notified after the application deadline had passed. In general, applicants who are chosen to interview are notified fairly soon after their applications are received. Sorry I can not be more helpful. Good luck!

HK2016 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Just got my invitation to interview! Very excited! Just a question for anyone who may know: What does a real (not standardized) patient interview entail? I haven't come across one of these in my other interview experiences. Thank you!

Just a question for anyone who may know: What does a real (not standardized) patient interview entail? I haven't come across one of these in my other interview experiences. Thank you! You interview a real patient who is volunteering his or her time, not a paid actor or current with imaginary symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folderol Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just got my invitation to interview! Very excited! Just a question for anyone who may know: What does a real (not standardized) patient interview entail? I haven't come across one of these in my other interview experiences. Thank you! Congrats! Don't stress about the patient. It's just another person interviewing you, but in this case it's one of the program director's patients. They will be the only one who hasn't read your application. That way they can weigh in on how they feel about you as an applicant and potential PA from an outside perspective and without being influenced by the rest of your application.

ST@PSU Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 It was wonderful meeting yet another group of amazing applicants today! Hope you all enjoyed your day on campus and our somewhat boisterous TBL session on osteoporosis! We were all a bit tired after our big anatomy practical this morning! Good luck to all!!
