jkimee Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Keep working hard bro, if it makes you feel better this is my 3rd year applying, 2nd interview. And if for some reason I dont get it in from the wait list, ill be back next yr as well. this is only my first time applying but I have been trying to make up for the four years I slacked off doing my undergrad... So even though I havent applied as many times as you have I have been doing my post bach for three years now so I kinda understand how you feel. Well I do hope that you get in and hopefully I will just see you next year on campus. :=D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharmtech21 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nah I just called and found out...didn't even say why I wasn't accepted b/c she didn't know. I hate the good ol "it's competitive" excuse. I got that a lot this year. Gotta keep our heads up I suppose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAgirl22 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Does anyone know if there are still interviews being held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkimee Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Does anyone know if there are still interviews being held? Touro is on rolling admissions. So as far as i know they will keep doing interviews until they fill the spots available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess06 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I know it is late in the game, but I just received my supplemental application. Are they still interviewing for spots in the class or just waitlist? I was wondering if it was worth paying the supplemental fee and such? thanks!

emarr Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 anyone know if Jenya will just email you if you aren't qualified for an interview? Or will you get the dreaded letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dncntaz Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Just got a call today to interview on the 7th! See you all there! Anyone know how many seats are left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess06 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I believe there are 2 seats available and I think 16+ still interviewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubeb90 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 jess06, how did you find out that there were 2 seats available. I was going to turn in my supplemental because I recently got it but if there are only 2 seats availabe its probably not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowitschewy Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Does anyone know how many interview dates are left? I just got my supplemental today also, but I don't want to waste the supplemental fee if the chances are so slim. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess06 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm sorry I must've misunderstood Jenya. There are 30 spots open 64 people interviewing. I wouldn't send in the supplemental application because the last interview date is next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dncntaz Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 There is only 1 interview left, do not submit a supplemental if you have not already. Yesterday and next wed are the last interview dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kblosser Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Is there anyone out there who likes the program? These comments are very alarming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourohopeful108 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well, I'm a student in PA12 and I have absolutely no regrets. I must confess that I have had a lot of experience handling patients before I joined. I'm on my way out with above-average grades. The key is to remain low-key and focused on the GOAL, i.e., to get a PA-C from an accredited university. I must also comment that my year (PA13) seems to have been the worst hit of all the years ever. My junior year (PA13) seems to be enjoying the ride. Its best to come prepared with up-to-date knowledge: I'd advise you to take refresher courses in Anatomy, Biochemistry & Pharmacology; 3 subjects that rattle students the most every year. All PA programs expect their students to come somewhat prepared. And new extremely knowledgeable Faculty ARE being inducted; you'll find Brian S a walking encyclopedia ..

kblosser Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 tourohopeful108, thank you so much for the encouraging words. I really appreciate it. I have been so stressed about these comments. How would you say your clinical rotations are going? Do you feel adequately prepared? Are you getting to "be the PA"? Thanks for all the info you can give. You have no idea how much this has eased my mind. And thanks for the tips about pre-studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourohopeful108 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The curriculum is standard. After all, it is geared to make you a good clinician and a good PA. If you can overlook the faults and foibles of the PA Faculty (i.e., the PAs who are also Faculty), you'll do well. Before classes begin, you will be assigned student mentors, i.e., students from PA13 who will give you all the notes etc. Make sure to utilize them. Also, make sure you ask for tutors in the subjects that you aren't doing well in. And above all, come prepared with the Basics, i.e., Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry & Pharmacology. The rotations are your luck. The majority of people get good rotations. The unlucky few cannot get along well with the preceptors. Don't let negative remarks deter you; most programs are the same. And the 1st generation of Army PAs are gradually retiring to be replaced by civilian PA Faculty. Yes, it does seem that the PA12s were the most hard hit; the PA11s have done exceedingly well: I've heard that 14% (7 people) in PA11 scored 100% in PANCE; pass rate was 92%, i.e. 47 people out of 51 passed.
