PAmarathoner Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hello everyone: I'm a first year at UT, and was dropping by to wish everyone good luck on your interviews. I stopped by today, and saw a group of you interviewing. I won't tell you to be calm, or to relax because lets be honest, you most likely won't. Just know that I was sitting there like you last year, and have made this far in the program. If I can do it, you all can do it. The staff at UT is the most friendly and professional you will encounter. If you have any questions let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. I saw other of my classmates posted on here, so i'm just adding to the support if you need any. Best of luck, and see you soon, Leo 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboucha36 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 At this point if we have not received an interview should we assume we are not receiving one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oupa7878 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Has anyone contacted the school and asked about if interview invites are done? The school is going to have the most up to date information on this. Do any current students know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorthaut Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I don't want to bother the school but I feel like if we haven't heard about an interview at this point, they are just keeping us in case people deny their interviews at the last minute. otherwise I think if we haven't heard, it's probably a no. :/ I really want to call the school and ask though.

Oupa7878 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You could call or email, if you do please let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboucha36 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I just don't understand why we did not receive a denial letter yet. Like why would they have us wait this long unless they were going to offer you an interview. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oupa7878 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Maybe interviews have been extended into April like last year? The only way to find out is from the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oupa7878 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I had to call about my app not too long ago, so I wouldn't feel comfortable. Can you email or call? I feel like email is less disruptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppio_Espresso Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The last time I tried getting in contact with them, all they said was "we're still reviewing applications and sending out interview invites". This wasn't too long ago either, so I suspect they would say the same at this time. I wonder if it is even worse for us peeps who come from out of state. I would at least guess that they would give us more time to arrange flights/hotels/etc. So, if the last interview is really March 31st, I would be on my tippy toes now and very close to falling off the ladder. Just out of curiosity, for anyone still waiting to hear back for an interview invite, did you guys receive an e-mail from them stating that your application was reviewed and you needed to re-take expired courses? This was the last communication that I actually received from the program and that was 3-4 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oupa7878 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 If they were still reviewing applications, maybe the interviews go until April? Something doesn't add up, how can you still be reviewing applications but yet inviting people at the same time? Wouldn't the school review al applications then send out invites? This is confusing.

MatthewMich Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The forum from Toledo last year shows they were doing interviews into early April some of those people posted they were accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorthaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I emailed today and they said that they are still doing interviews and inviting candidates through the end of March. Then they will do an official denial letter in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they will do an official denial letter in April. So no April interviews, the candidates would only be invited for March interviews. I think you may be right that they are keeping us in case someone drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmtam Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Don't you think they would at least offer an invite in the mean time? Then hold us on a waitlist? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorthaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have a friend at my school now who got invited to an interview at another school two days prior to the interview date because another student dropped their interview at the last minute. (He was told Wednesday to go to an interview Friday morning.) Toledo does their decisions and interviews a lot later than other schools so I think students have been accepted elsewhere in the meantime and they have to keep a handful of students as "floats" in case too many kids deny their interview or acceptance due to commiting to another school that notified them earlier. I'm just so curious to see how many applied for this cycle because last year I heard only 1,000 did where at other schools they have about 2,500 applicants. so I'm not sure how many of us are in this odd waiting period.

Oupa7878 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 hmm why would they say inviting then? Wouldn't they just mention all invited have been given out and if someone drops we will send out more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorthaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 no I believe if you've already been denied, you wouldn't be given a last minute interview. if you were denied in the the earlier months it was due to insufficient courses, pre-reqs, hours, etc.. meaning that you don't reach their minimum for acceptance. but if you weren't denied, then you still qualify.

snorthaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 well looking at previous posts, the people who got interviews at the start of each month got a schedule of dates to pick from. if March is the last month of interviews, and a handful of students still haven't heard, then we are last minute/just in case interviews or else we also would have gotten that first email with schedules of dates to choose from. so we are interviewed if someone drops last minute, and we will get notified a few days prior. That's what I believe at first. it would be odd for them to give interviews to some and not offer them the monthly schedule.. it's already 2 weeks into March.

jmtam Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I wasn't denied. So I'm just trying to understand their mentality when it comes to picking and choosing who gets offered an interview. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorthaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 yeah this is confusing. I wish Toledo sent more updates but I'm sure it's a really busy/intense process for them. I just wish I knew what was going on more. It's been about 9 months since I have applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorthaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 it's more of a fate thing from this point on. applying to PA school has taught me that whatever is meant to be, will be. just a few more weeks of waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
