emm324 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 bpalm and blburns, Was there a writing Sample when you interviewed last year? If so, how much time was given for it? Also I see that there is a point in the schedule where there is candidate introductions, do you know what all this entails? Thanks for all your insight into the program.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted February 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm also curious about class times. What times and days are you in class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blburns Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The candidate introduction was simply each person standing up and introducing themselves and giving a little background on themselves. Don't sweat it is nothing crazy. There was a writing sample although I can not remember how much time they gave us (I will defer to bpalm if he remembers). Again this was nothing crazy. There were 3 subjects to choose from and you had to write a little bit about any 2 you chose. Again I don't remember exactly what they were but it seems like they were things like: "Tell us a time when in your experience in healthcare, or any other field, where you felt that you really made a difference in someone's life--->standard interview questions like at a job interview. There may have been some opinion pieces but its not about what you write so much as how you write it;ie. can you write a college level paper.

blburns Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Last quarter we had HAPE on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8am-10am and HAPE Lab from 10am-12pm or 1pm-3pm depending on what group you were placed in. Tuesdays and Thursdays we had Gross Anatomy from 8am-10am, Human Physiology from 10:30am-12pm, and Neuroanatomy from 1p-4p on Tuesdays/3p-5:30p on Thursdays. This quarter is set up the same. Mondays and Wednesdays are CAM 1 Lecture from 8a-10a and Lab from 10a-1p, Tues & Thurs we have Clinical Lab Medicine 8:30a-9:30a, Med. Genetics and Patho 10a-12p, Epidemiology and Public Health 1:30p-3:00p, and Pharm 1 from 3:30p-5p and again we have Fridays off unless they have to make up a class or a guest lecturer comes that day.

svarg Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi Everyone, I was wondering about the history of this program...who started the program and why? I know it is a new program, so its history is may be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachaelanderson Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any word on how many interview dates are left? I know balm said 4 as of a week or so ago. I'm wondering how many dates are left that interviews haven't been offered for yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anitsisqua Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well, I had my interview today, and I was waitlisted. They said I need more experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted February 17, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well, I had my interview today, and I was waitlisted. They said I need more experience. Sorry to hear that. Still it seemed like wait list is still a good shot. Almost every student there said they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted February 18, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2012 Blburns, you mentioned you lived in a town home, which is what my wife wants as well. Could you possibly PM me some info on your area or maybe any others you researched? I have a feeling others won't be able to help with my home search since they will probably take apartments.

vpatel4 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 For those of you that have interviewed, did they call your or email you inviting you to come in for the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svarg Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I interview this past Friday and was accepted as well :D Congrats Oneal, I will see you in the fall! Anitsisqua, I'd say your chances are still good :) For anyone interviewing later... The faculty and students are very welcoming. They kept telling everyone to be themselves, which I think was excellent advice. They already know how you stand statistically, so this is your chance to show them what paper cannot. Relax, smile, and try to enjoy it a little :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blburns Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yes the waitlist at South is not like the waitlist at other schools. They actually do draw a lot of students from it so hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
