DaddyPig Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Got an interview invite for 10/1! This is my first invite so I am super excited! It came by email. I was verified the middle of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYfuturePA123 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just received the supplemental, and for question number three, I described my best/worst experience with patients rather than as a patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilemma84 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I know they said answers within 150-200 words limit. Will they disqualify you if you answer more or less than the word limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blalvara12 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Recieved an interview invite for 10/15, but declined the offer, as I've already accepted a seat elsewhere. Just wanted to give you all still waiting my turn around time.. Completed my supplemental 8/26 and was notified of an interview yesterday. Oh, and I answered the patient experience question as a medical professional. Good luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilemma84 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'll be there on the 15th as well! When did you submit your caspa and supplemental if you don't mind?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-94 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I submitted my CASPA on May 19, but I wasn't verified until June 11 because my transcripts were lost in the mail and I had to resend them. I received my supplemental on August 19, submitted it on August 24 and received the offer for an interview in September 22. I hope that helps!

toopunny Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Congrats to you all that received interviews! Would anyone be willing to post their stats that has received an interview? I would like to see how I compare :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyPig Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 I was offered a seat at Usciences! The interview was on Thursday last week and they told us it would take a month to get back to us but I guess they were a little quicker. For those that are wondering, I applied and was verified back in June and got the supplemental some time about a month ago. The invitation came by email, but they will be sending a formal letter "in the next few weeks." Good luck to everyone else and particularly the others I met last week. It seems like a a great program so I am thrilled to be invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyPig Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 How was the interview if you don't mind me asking? Congrats on your acceptance! We were told not to say anything about the interview so I don't want to get myself in trouble before I even start :) However, I will say that if you go back to the forum from last year you will find a number of comments about the interviews. I can't compare it to any other interviews, but in my opinion they were very chill, friendly, and eager for both sides to get to know each other as best as possible in the few hours spent together. I do recommend eating a big breakfast because the interview goes through lunch time and they only provide some VERY light snacks. There is some down time to chat with current students so come prepared with some questions to get the "inside scoop" or, in my case, run out to car and grab a quick snack :) And, as others have suggested, if you need ideas about questions you will be asked in a PA interview, the book "How to Ace the Physician Assistant Interview" by Rodican will give you all sorts of questions to prepare for and I found it helpful when I prepared. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Awesome!!! Yes didn't expect any crazy details but I did read from last year that the interviews were chill and that people felt really comfortable so good to know before going in :) Super nervous but hopefully it goes well!

We can't talk specifics but it was a really great experience! Also to answer your other question the campus is pretty safe IMO and I felt comfortable. It's in the University City area of Philadelphia--where Penn and Drexel are also located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
