NewtonsApple Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Congratulations to everyone who has received an invite to JMU. Don't stress out if not, as I believe the class of 2013 had interviews into spring. I am in the class of 2012 and would be more than happy to answer any questions you have regarding the program or area, you can just send me a message if you would like. Good Luck!

stemp07 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What was the interview like? Did they say what the turn around time is in regards to letting you know of their decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwisplash04 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It was pretty laid back (even though I was still nervous considering it was my first interview). During the first hour, the program director talked with us about the program and went over the handbook we got as soon as we signed in. Then we were split into 2 groups -- one group to do a writing essay and the second group to wait to be interviewed. I got 2 one-on-one interviews for 10-15 minutes each, and they were pretty basic questions, trying to get to know you mostly. After lunch, we switched - so if we interviewed in the morning, we'd do the writing in the afternoon and vice versa. While we waited, we had the chance to talk and ask questions to the first & second years. They were really happy with the program, gave us lots of information, and made us feel at ease the whole time. We were told the faculty will meet sometime this week and we'd hear back within 2-3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwisplash04 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 This is the email I got: "This is to inform you of the status of your application to the James Madison University Physician Assistant Program. At the last meeting of the Admissions Committee, your application was placed on “hold”. This means that the Committee reviewed your application favorably and determined that you will meet the qualifications for admission by August 2012. However, we cannot make a final recommendation at this time because there are still many qualified candidates waiting to be interviewed. We hope to interview all eligible applicants and make our final recommendations in February. " I remember one of them saying that it might take a while b/c they have to get packets together & get signatures from certain people ... so keep your head up, it might be more promising for you! Let me know if you hear anything back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
