ladychels Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My only hope is for a Seattle interview (probably January) - has anyone been invited to a January interview yet? My academic and clinical prereqs were confirmed on Sep 26th - pretty late in the application cycle. I applied to MEDEX Seattle only and haven't heard anything yet. Friend told me applicants went from 1000 last year to 2200 this year, so I'd expect it's gonna take a while before I hear anything. Hope this gives some comfort! haha. It's not over 'til it's over.

kimpark123 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Is there a white coat ceremony? If so, when is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaBeaver Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 For those that got interviews and accepted/not accepted (why, if not). Could you post some of your stats so myself and others could see how competitive we would be applying for this program? It would be super helpful for myself and most likely a lot of others, so we could save time and money if we don't fit the mold. I really do appreciate your time and thank you. Good luck everyone.

janeshazel Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Received my rejection letter today, not gonna lie, it stings. But I'm gonna continue to beef up my app for next year! Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I know it is a bummer now. But, you'll do what you have to do, to make it happen next year. But, may I ask...what do you think was something you need to work on for next cycle? Pretty much, why do you think you did not get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, may I ask...what do you think was something you need to work on for next cycle? Pretty much, why do you think you did not get in? Maybe my clinical hrs? I had 3,000 which I know there are plenty of applicants out there with an exponential amount greater than mine. Maybe not as many volunteer hours even though I had over 200 hours. My current grades are great but my overall gpa was low do to my young-dumb adolescent years of school. Those are guesses, I just know I gotta keep my head down and stay in the grind. It's not a matter of if I get in, it's a matter of when. I'm in it to win it [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahliambenz Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Rejection letter received in the mail yesterday :( Congrats to those who are accepted and best of luck to those still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbailey Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Unfortunately, this year I was not chosen to interview. I am more determined than ever to work on improving my application for the next cycle. Good luck to everyone who was accepted, and congratulations on your tremendous accomplishment!

ladychels Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I wasn't chosen for the interview either. It was a bummer but I wasn't confident with my application in the first place. Weirdly, I'm excited for the upcoming application cycle because I know where I need to make the improvements (turn in my application much earlier and improve my GRE score). Congratulations to all those who got accepted!! This is an unforgettable milestone. Hope to experience that feeling next year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpuett Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 How do you know you weren't chosen for interview - isn't there one more in January? Have the invites for that one been sent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeshazel Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 How do you know you weren't chosen for interview - isn't there one more in January? Have the invites for that one been sent? They sent out rejection letters for the cycle, and my friend that also applied got an email stating if she had not received anything yet then she is still under consideration for one of their interviews in January, and if selected will be notified 3 weeks prior to the interview.

dgarnes Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted! I just received an invitation to interview in Seattle on January 19th. Anyone else interviewing then? I would love to connect before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joito911 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I also received an invite to interview the 19th in Seattle. I am thinking of starting a new thread for the people invited to this interview to see about meeting the day before and become acquainted. Perhaps an informal meet and greet at a local coffee shop or cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joito911 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 dgarnes, here is the link to the thread (and for any others who were invited to the interview you are welcome to read and post as well): http://www.physicianassistantforum.com/index.php?/topic/41648-2016-17-medex-pa-jan-19th-interview-ees-meet-up/ I'd like to hear your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawna808 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I also have an interview for Jan. 19th :) Coffee shop or cafe sounds great. I'll make time for a meet and greet, not farmiliar with the general area. I'll be driving up from Lacey. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawna808 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Also invited to the Jan.19th interview. cafe/coffee sounds great! Would the morning or noonish time frame work?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpuett Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 for those of you that received invites for Seattle interview (CONGRATS!) when did MEDEX receive your application? Mine was held up at CASPA and got there really late. I am wondering if mine has even been reviewed yet (beyond the "you meet the qualification" review).

mcostine Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 for those of you that received invites for Seattle interview (CONGRATS!) when did MEDEX receive your application? Mine was held up at CASPA and got there really late. I am wondering if mine has even been reviewed yet (beyond the "you meet the qualification" review). My application didn't get there until September, a few weeks before the deadline (initial review completed 09/19, I believe), and I was interviewed/accepted for the Seattle class last month.

tpuett Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 My initial review was 10/17 - I wish I knew if I wasn't chosen for an interview because it was not considered in time or if it was not a strong enough application to be asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joito911 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I was told by medex that they will be doing interviews through mid-Jan. Don't get discouraged as there might be hope if you haven't heard anything from them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
