d-wade Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 They really don't...Apparently IUP also has one now as well?? Anddd they are requiring rather high GPA's and such for admissions. Seems to come off as more concerned with pass rates to start with? Or just another way to weed out "good non traditional" applicants like myself.... Understandable, but the program is basically on Ohio. They are building it over there because it's an underserved area, at least per the research they were citing. I was very impressed with the organization of the program, and the quality of the faculty over there, however, I ended up not accepting because the price of admission vs. the risk of enrollment in a developing program wasn't completely congruent. Think it was around 86k for an out of state resident (and not too much less for in-state). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-wade Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Cashing in for a questionable experience yeah. Not terribly uncommon though. Almost every developing program is wanting around 85k from what i've seen. Supply and demand economics, really. Rutgers had almost 3000 applicants this year, I guess you can charge whatever you want when there is someone willing to pay whatever the cost may be. We are still vastly underrepresented in health care. I can only assume that more programs will eventually drive down costs of PA education, and more PAs will give us more than a fraction of NPs lobbying power.

I received my invite on Dec. 23rd & responded asking for details so I could make travel arrangements. I received an email with a tentative interview day agenda, applicant info handbook, map, & parking pass attached. The interview day is roughly 8am-4pm (assuming it's the same on the 16th). I'd try to email again or call. Hopefully you'll hear soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be coming in from TX.52 is the class size. Unsure how many acceptances/seats have been filled thus far. I live pretty close to the school and I actually work as an emt in Harrisville and surrounding area where the program facility will be located!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk I'm sorry I'm asking people these questions about the interview but how did the group portion go? And what kinds of questions did they ask for your personal interview? I've been to a pretty cut throat group interview and it was so nerve wracking, the group interview was terrible and pinned students against one another to prove their viewpoints.
