CalUCF Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Did you get in? I did too! I'm Cally from Orlando. Did you just interview on Monday and Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevhow2001 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yes I did. Kevin from Ocala. I think you were in my interview time slot, but its honestly a blur now...names and all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalUCF Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yeah, I thought that might have been you. I know what you mean about it being a blur. Congrats! And I guess I'll see you next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sario Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Awesome, I'll be seeing both of you next summer! I just got my acceptance call this morning and may or may not have called Cathleen an angel and started hyperventilating! I'm one of the Sarahs from West Palm Beach/NJ. Kevin, we did the group discussion section together. Now the actual hard work starts, it'll take a bit to wrap my mind around that thought!

Yeah, I was on the elliptical and nearly broke my neck trying to get to the phone!!! Still sinking in for me too, even though I have been planning for it beforehand.... I wonder how we will meet others who make it into our class before school actually starts. I doubt all the applicants are on these forums. Be nice to sorta get to know people before we get going full throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I haven't even been called for an interview. Maybe I didn't make the cut. I thought the application deadline was October. Congrats, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sario Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Kevin - At the dinner with the PA students on Monday evening, Ashleigh passed out slips with her e-mail address. I e-mailed her today and she sent me a link for the UF PA c/o 2014 Facebook group, so I guess that's one way we can all get in touch with one another. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/UFPA2014/ I work nights in an emergency department so I was actually asleep when I received the call and didn't get to the phone in time. I called back and still wasn't entirely sure if I was awake or dreaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsters Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hey Kevin (and others) - congrats! I am a recent grad from the program and was at the dinner. Not sure who all I met, though. Let me know if you guys have any questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sario Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ernie - definitely don't give up hope yet, we were in the first round of interviews, there are still quite a few left. I believe they continue interviews all the way through Autumn. There's still plenty of time. One of the students in the current first year didn't submit her application until August and interviewed in October, so no worries! Woodsters - I remember talking with you at the dinner, I really appreciated what you had to say. It was really great to hear that FL is such a PA friendly state, and I thought your story of how you applied was really cool! I also think it's awesome that you had employment set up so quickly, it just speaks to how high caliber a program UF is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash1eigh23 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hey I am a current student and Strongly suggest you attend the SWAMP Dinner on Monday night and talk to current students they will be able to give you plenty of advice. Just be yourself and enjoy the orientation, its very informative. If you are unable to attend the dinner no worries, I will give you my contact info on orientation day if you have any questions or concerns.

mkleppek Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hey Ashleigh, I was in the first set on interviews in August, do you know how many applicants they accepted from that group? Just curious. Thanks Meredith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash1eigh23 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It varies on groups, but they only interview 120, with about 20 per group, so about 50% of people get in, but like I said it varies from group to group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawalk Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just got accepted from the September group and I know of one other person who was also accepted. We were both called shortly after our interviews. Best of luck to those who have not heard and looking forward to meeting those of you who have been accepted.

So unbelievably happy that I even cried a little bit on the phone with her. LOL I'm super excited to meet everyone and GOOD LUCK to all the other applicants!!!!

kawalk Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hey Kate! How many interviews did you have? All of us that interviewed this morning only had 3. I really don't think that it is a sign either way. And update: I've now heard of 3 of us that have been accepted this round.

dholm002 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I am now almost positive that four interviews was a bad thing. That fourth one feels like it was the deciding one. EVerybody that got accepted right away had three. Therefore, the fourth must have been to confirm we were not going to be accepted. I pray it doesnt mean that but we'll see... =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashpin1 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Got the phone call today that I got in!!! I interviewed on tuesday! Can't wait to meet everyone next June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash1eigh23 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I had 4 interviews and was accepted, like Shalon explained, only a select few a are accepted right away... stay positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
