ATC2PA Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Distance of rotations? How do the faculty seem? Dress code for class days? The assortment of clinical rotation types? Any TBL during the didactic year? Cheap to live out there? I have several decisions coming up and my interview here is pretty far away still! I will answer as best as I can based on my understanding... For rotations they have you list your top 3 locations and then if you choose to stay in that area for all of your rotations that is an option. I see that you are from the Pittsburgh area so in theory you would be able to go their for your rotations if they approve of the sites The faculty seemed very down-to-earth, but also dedicated to the program. It seemed pretty obvious that they want you to do well and succeed with their program. In talking with the current students, the faculty has an open door policy for asking questions or needing clarification. Dress code is business casual for class days and they said something about allowing jeans, however I can't remember if it is every Friday or if it was once a month. Clinical rotations are the same ones that are required for every school. They use a system based approach to teaching. I can't speak to the cost of living because they haven't provided us with a list of options for housing. Although the current students said that rent is typically 450-500/mth and then you have utilities and personal things also. Hopefully this helps to clarify some things. Again this is just my understanding of how the program works as someone that is not a current student I can only offer what I actually understood from my interview day!

Pdom73 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Has anyone who has applied still had in-progress prerequisites? If so, did you get an interview invite, or do they make sure you complete your prereqs before interviewing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's free breakfast every morning from 6-10 am, a microwave in the room, a mini fridge, an HD TV with all of the movie channels (HBO, etc.), and very kind staff. Give it a try when you come here.

Hey there bdew12, The interviews went great. The faculty is so kind and very funny. The campus is so beautiful. I believe the program director said there were between 800-900 applicants this cycle.

Disciple3 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 It all rounded out nicely, the group interview format was a little different but I think they just want to see your personality in the end. Nice facility there and the faculty seemed good, but the clinical situation the second year came across as lackluster, sounded like an excessive amount of traveling would be involved compared to other programs and overall at 133k this program should really be cheaper.

Bios1215 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 From what I remember them saying about the clinical year is that students normally have a pretty good shot at getting to choose where they wish to complete their rotations. They like you to be within a closer range, however, since you will have to return to the campus after each 5 week rotation for testing. They stressed that they will work hard to help you get the experiences you'd like! Also, the 133k cost of the program is estimated on the high end, that way students are able to access more than enough loan money rather than not enough. I think it's pretty possible to keep the cost of attendance lower than that estimate, but it definitely is one of the more expensive programs. Overall, It's a great school, and it'll be worth it in the end :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagehero Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Anyone hear anything about interviews? I got an email today about the interview I had November 21st that said I am waitlisted. They did mention that this is very common and that many people were. I still have high hopes! Any clue how many people have been accepted from each group of interviewees or total so far?

Hey vintagehero, I'm wait listed as well. My impression was that everyone who is not initially accepted is wait listed, but I'm not totally sure. I don't know how many have been accepted, but with 36 seats and 3 interview sessions I'd imagine that they accept 12 from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
