Doppio_Espresso Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 sounds like odds are not in favor especially for us peeps coming outside of Ohio. I'm telepathically sending UT good vibes to open up April dates for us. :) but i know they wont so i'll just go to the corner and cry myself to sleep.

leothemailman79 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hello! I'm interviewing March 24th! I'm very excited. Would you be able to shed some light on the actual interview day and what to expect? I know there are group and individual interviews and a tour. Any advice in regards to the interview? It sounds like this program is very tight knit, intense, and supportive, which I think is great! Hi PAmarathoner: It is hard to predict what to expect on interviews since there are several staff members conducting them. My only advice is to relax and be yourself. The interview process isn't to trick anyone, as other schools do. It is simply to get to know you. They want to know if you are a good fit for our program. Be honest, and try not to stress too much. I know it is hard to do, as I was right there where you are now. When I went through the interview I had a million thoughts of what could go wrong type scenarios running through my head. Surprisingly enough in my experience, it was really laid back. Just know your basics about the school, the core values, and make sure they are in parallel with yours. Everything else will fall into place. I hope I didn't give you a genetic answer, it is not my intention. It is hard to give advice in this area because there are a lot of factors at play, and there isn't a set algorithm to my knowledge to select candidates. If there is one I probably wouldn't be told because I'm not a part of the interviewing team. I hope I helped. Good luck, and keep us in the loop.

Hello Doppio_Expresso: I wouldn't say that just yet. I came from a different state. NC, and was accepted. The fight is over when you receive a letter from the program. In the mean time, you did all you could on your part. Wait and get ready anything that comes. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doppio_Espresso Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 @leothemailman79: thanks for the good words and advice. i was just thinking that programs would usually give more than 2 weeks of notice for someone who is coming outside Ohio. but, you're right, anything can still happen at this point. thanks for the optimism.

courtneymorgan14 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Has anyone that already interviewed heard back from them, or are they waiting until after all interviews are complete to start accepting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leothemailman79 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Leo, do you know anything on interview invites? Are you able to shed some light on this? I wish I did, but they don't tell us much. We just know when interviews are, and not much more. Keep your heads up regardless of the outcome. It isn't over until you have a rejection letter, and even if you get one reapply again. Don't forget there are a limited amount of seats. For what I've heard, interviews have shown a great pool of candidates. That means all of those that interviewed already did a great job. Keep your heads up. It is a waiting game now. Leo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doppio_Espresso Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 At this point, I think our chance of not getting invited is exponentially increasing as we approach March 31st. It's good to be hopeful, but even better to be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulPA22 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 At this point, I think our chance of not getting invited is exponentially increasing as we approach March 31st. It's good to be hopeful, but even better to be realistic. This was my second year applying to PA programs and I got in, not to Toledo but another program! So don't let this discourage you. Just keep improving your resume as much as you can and make sure to apply to schools you think will be a back up. If this is something you really want, don't lose hope. Programs will appreciate you not giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had several interviews at other schools and oddly enough this is the first one to offer an individual interview! I appreciate your answer and insight!

indians2016 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 anyone get accepted/rejected yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtneymorgan14 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think they wait until everyone has interviewed to start sending out acceptance/rejection letters. I could be wrong though. The last interview date I saw available was 3/31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmk76 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Anyone know what the selection process is like? I feel like they have a scoring system or something in place to be able to keep track of so many interviews, over such a large span of time...

PAmarathoner Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hey all! I just received an e-mail that they have completed their interviews for the Fall 2017 entering class. They said over the next few weeks they will make the decision on who will be offered seats. When they make their decisions, the candidate will be notified via a phone call if they have been selected for the program. No phone call means you're placed on the wait list. If someone declines over the phone, they will contact the next person on the wait list. They will notify those not offered a seat in the program after all the seats are offered and confirmed. There is a survey attached to this e-mail that I filled out as well. Good luck everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP5537 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I received the email as well! I was nervous when I realized they had emailed so quickly after interviews.. thought it might be a rejection letter haha. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmk76 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 reading back, we should pretty much know and have a full class... by next Friday probably? Barring a few last minute drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitchi12 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I thought it was a rejection letter as well lol. Hopefully we'll get a phone call soon about an acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
