leothemailman79 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thank you Leo! Is there something else you didn't know about the program when you were interviewed that you now know and that surprised you. Also, what is your favorite thing of the program. :) I have a different question. When you interviewed do they ask you very a lot of questions (are they personal, very specific, etc) or was the committee more laid back? It is my pleasure. I had many questions when I was in your position. To answer your first question, what surprised me the most was the similarity of the PA program to the Medical one. You will find that the same professors teaching med students are the ones teaching you the same material, just in a shorter time frame. My favorite part about the program, even though it isn't required, you have the opportunity to volunteer in several free clinics around the Toledo area. You are able to hone some skills, and are given autonomy (to an extent). Even though I have not gotten to that level, I'm excited to reach that potential at some point. I think every school has something to offer, but UTPA is the most diverse I have seen so far. No other school has come close to the diversity you will have here. I think you'll enjoy UT. Let me know if I helped. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athornsb Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 if you haven't been denied by this point, do you guys think thats a pretty good sign that you are getting an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indians2016 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Not sure. I know a lot of programs don't give official rejections until they have filled all of their program spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbouru Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hey everyone, hope all is well! Anyone interviewing Feb 17th? If so, I'll see you there!

paipa Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I was looking at the message board from last year and it looks like all of the acceptances went out around the end of april, all in the same week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaflores88 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hey guys, I recently interviewed on January 27th and I was told final decisions would be made anywhere between March and May. Everyone was super laid back surprisingly and the individual/group interview was pretty relaxed as well. Dr. Hogue was especially personable and candid about what she's looking for when selecting students for the next class. I think overall they're really just trying to get to know everybody better so I guess my best advice would just be genuine and show them why you're passionate about becoming a PA and why you want to attend their program. Hope everybody's interviews goes well! :) Sincerely, Elias . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine coming up as well so maybe we'll be in the same class ;) Thanks!! Yup, this is my first and hopefully my last application cycle (keeping my fingers crossed)...I was so amazed with everything the program has to offer! The Interprofessional Immersion Simulation Center (IISC) was especially amazing, I've never seen anything like it! The campus tour was definitely my favorite part of the interview process. Honestly, I can't imagine going to PA school anywhere else! If I don't get in this year I'm definitely reapplying for next year :) Good luck with your interview! -Elias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmtam Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Good for you! Haven't heard back for an interview. Probably won't since they're making me take a different pre-requisite course for admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenLH Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Good for you! Haven't heard back for an interview. Probably won't since they're making me take a different pre-requisite course for admission. Don't let that deter you! When are you taking the class? I'm currently taking a prerequisite and I interviewed in January. I believe as long as you complete it before the program, you're in the clear.

I believe as long as you complete it before the program, you're in the clear. They told me to take a different pre-requisite (even though I completed the course before) to still be qualified for an interview. I still was not offered an interview. Not even for March. So I'm taking that as a rejection since you were already interviewed with an outstanding pre-requisite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
