futurepa777 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I also have an interview on Friday. Anyone has insight about the "group interview" portion of the day? I did one of those last year for another school. they split us into groups of about 20 (it was a big interview) and then told half of us we were to focus on AIDS and the other half cancer. They then introduced this idea that there was an exotic fruit available for developing a cure but that there was only one. Each cause had ten minutes to discuss and then the whole group of 20 reopened and you had to argue for your cause. It was a little challlenging considering how big the group was and makin sure not only that you said something, but that you offered something different. Ater there was a wrting sample and the prompt was to reflect on how you think you did and how you think that reflects on how you would perform in a group medical setting (like a conference or rounds I'm assuming). Like I said, it was for another school so it could be very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did one for MGH and there were five or six of us and we had to discuss which of a group of five people we were going to lay off from our "company" based on a paragraph of their work history and personal situation. there were 4-5 people watching us discuss. I thought I did OK but who knows what they are really looking for. Now I wonder if I talked too much, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyai92 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I had "group interview" once. They gave us a student's stat who applied to PA school but got rejected. Then a sheet of questions like why do you think he got rejected, what would he do when applying again, etc.? I think they want to see communication skills for these activities.

Tanders87 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi guys I received this email today. Anyone else get this email? We are continuing to review applications and will begin holding interviews this month, with one a month thereafter through June. Your application has passed the first base-line review and is in line for a more indepth review by faculty. You will receive a status update by email, either inviting you for one of the monthly interview sessions, or letting you know that your application is no longer being considered. All final decisions will be made by the end of June. I got that email as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAinthePROCESS Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 How many days notice do they give you if you get an interview? Anyone know if anyone has been accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliAnna Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I received an invite 2 days ago for an interview next Friday 3/25. I am traveling from California and trying to cut down the cost of this expensive trip. I was wondering if anyone would like to share a room, I have booked my stay at Baymont Inn (with 2 beds) from Thursday 3/24 to Saturday 3/26. If you're traveling from out of town and have an interview on 3/25, let me know if you're interested! Also a good way to meet people and calm our nerves together before the big day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf2000 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi, I'm coming from Los Angeles and have an interview on 3/25. I've booked Baymont Inn on 3/24, check out on 3/25.

PAinthePROCESS Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It's crazy to know they are doing 3 more interview sessions. I'm preparing for april for the next round. I'm from Florida so I don't see me getting an interview to be honest, it seems like they want people from the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cellasky1 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I live in NH and I'm hoping to get an interview in April. It doesn't seem like they are interviewing based on the state you live in so I wouldn't give up hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
