danilelin Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 For those that interviewed, did ya'll bring a resume, CV, or both? Is one considered better than the other? I do not think that it matters which one you bring. I still have a year left of undergrad and did not feel that I have enough information for a CV so I brought a resume. I know there were people in my interview group that did not bring either. The choice is entirely up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almostPA Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 For those of you who have gone through interviews, what does the "student presentation" of the interview schedule day entail? Is that something the current students do to showcase the program? Or tour? Just trying to plan out my time for the day since I have to drive back out-of-state the same day to get home.

archie15 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The student presentation took place after all the interviews and it last maybe 20 minutes. They just gave a short talk about the school, life in Galveston, and answered any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embrown47 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi, for those of you who were like me and waiting to hear news about your application status, here's my timeline if it helps: CASPA application submitted and marked verified about Aug 15th. Supplemental application email received and completed about August 18th Received an email stating my application was being reviewed by the PA Program and I would receive instructions regarding the MySTAR portal. I didn't ever receive the emails with the portal instructions so called them after the 10 days stated in the email--about September 3. Must have been some tech issue--they resent with no problems and assured me my application was being reviewed by the program. Application listed as complete in the portal and was just waiting...... Today, received an invitation to interview on Oct 3 (I think perhaps they were getting past the last set of interviews before sending the next ones?) Good luck--I can sympathize--the waiting is difficult but things are happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck--I can sympathize--the waiting is difficult but things are happening! Mine was a similar timeline and I got the email for an interview today as well. I'm an out of state resident so my process might have taken longer. I was verified in July though and waited for MyStar until mid-August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrePAvet Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 October 3rd will be their 4th session of interviews. Last year I believe they only held 5 and their last one was like the last week of October. I'm officially worrying ???? No invite yet. I'm praying I'll get one next week!!! Congratulations to all of you interviewing and accepted! I truly am happy for you! I hope I will be able to join you in my own excitement soon!

Congratulations to all of you interviewing and accepted! I truly am happy for you! I hope I will be able to join you in my own excitement soon! I'm on the same boat as you. When I emailed them in August, they said that if I don't receive an under review email by December 15 then I can contact them after that date. I'm super worried just as well because last year their interviews ended in October[emoji17][emoji37] Congrats to those who received interviews!! Such a big accomplishment!

shomme Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I received my 'under review' email on 7/5 and I still haven't heard anything else from them. Should I contact the office or just continue to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaTX Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've been complete since early August and have yet to hear whether or not my app is under review... sooooo.... I just sent a follow up email. I knew it'd be a long shot in the first place that I'd even get an interview, but I'd like to know that my app was at least reviewed....

spypharmd Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've been complete since early early July and haven't heard anything. Let us know what you find out. I have a feeling I'm getting the cold shoulder for trying to switch from another medical profession. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAvet Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 There was an issue with some "under review" emails not going out (they are automated). I didn't get one but they said it is still under review when I checked with them Last years dates were 8/21, 9/21, 10/9, 10/19, 10/26 (Gathered from last years thread) Hope this helps some of you in anyway!

mamaTX Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just heard back this morning that my app is still being processed... I'm kind of frustrated that there are people who completed everything after me that already have interview invites.... there's not much incentive to complete the application early if they are just going to go out of order :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppies411 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 @poppies411 did you ever receive an email that your app was under review? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk No I never received an under review email, last thing I heard was the MyStar information. So I emailed to confirm that all my materials were received and my application was under review by the PA department and they replied saying that it was.

I finished my caspa and supplemental mid june. Never got an under review email, but just like you I emailed them and they said they are reviewing and that I will hear back. Still haven't heard back. Just trying to gauge timeline. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
