DPAP-2018 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 For those who have experience with the RDU airport.... If interviews end at 5:00 PM, does anyone have recommendations on what time to get to the airport? Could I make a 6:30 flight or is that pushing it? Way too risky. You'll miss your flight – the highways to RDU get a lot of Triangle traffic between 3-6pm. During rush hour, despite RDU being close, it could take 45+ mins to get there. Give yourself at least an hour of drive time during rush hour to be safe. And an hour before boarding time for arrival. RDU Security isn't bad, but rush hour flights can cause congestion of the security lines. Plan accordingly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christb Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Would anyone offered interviews mind sharing their stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petunia Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Undergrad cGPA 3.6 Science cGPA 3.7 Grad GPA 3.5 GRE score 309 600 hours shadowing a PA 10,000 hours patient care as MA 5,000 healthcare hours in healthcare administration 9,000 volunteer hours (NICU / Habitat for Humanity / Animal Rescue) CNA & BLS certified Keep in mind there are other factors too.... I believe Duke prefers candidates with a large number of science hours over the prereqs and remember all of the essays and questions we answered...lots to take into account aside from stats Good luck to all... feel like I am living in a dream right now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnied123 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Exactly. Every school is different in what they want in an applicant, and then as well getting a diverse group within the applicants they choose. Some schools prefer applicants with a more rigorous academic background (succeeding at a top ranked college or university), while others put more weight on the amount of hands on health care experience. Personally, "stats" don't mean much because they don't show what kind of school you went to and your whole story Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akrenner0991 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 It took mine about 2.5-3 weeks from the time it was "complete" from the time it was forwarded. Something i did notice is that they gave the people who submitted and had everything complete before 8/15 priority on who gets sent to admissions.. I was complete on... 8/14, sent to admissions 9/7.... but I haven't heard anything since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onward&upward Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I got invited for Interview on 26th Oct. Yay! I am local so if someone needs some help about local area, let me know. Edit- I have a question about taking official transcripts to the Interview. I have a foreign degree, so should i take transcripts along even though they are not sealed, or should i ask WES to send me a sealed copy of the evaluation report which I can take along?

MichiganPA3 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Anyone know how many people will be at each interview session? I'm a current first year student and last year they had about 10 at each session :) good luck to everyone and I look forward to meeting some of you at your interviews! I just wanted to add that a lot of our class was interviewed in January (including myself), so just because you didn't get an early interview invite, doesn't mean you don't have a chance! Good luck and let me know if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
