hfillman Posted June 29, 2016 Hey everyone! I am a re-applicant to Iowa this year and wanted to wish everyone good luck! I recently heard back from Iowa about being on the "interview hold list." Has anyone else received this or an actual interview invite?
NDSUprepa2017 Posted June 30, 2016 I received the confirmation email that my application was complete on 6/6 but have not heard anything since then. When did you submit your application? Best of luck to you, too!
hfillman Posted July 1, 2016 Author I received the confirmation email that my application was complete on 6/6 but have not heard anything since then. When did you submit your application? Best of luck to you, too! My application was verified on 5/27
SouthDakotaKid Posted July 4, 2016 I was verified on 7/1 but I haven't heard anything yet. I know it's only been a few days but how long did it take before you guys received an email? Also, is there first interview date in August?
Peter Bread Posted July 9, 2016 CASPA verified on June 18th, received an email from Iowa on July 8th saying I should get an update on interviews (or lack there of) in 1-6 weeks!
erinld Posted July 18, 2016 I was verified on 5/20/16 and received my interview hold email on 6/1/16. Good luck to everyone! I'm happy to hear a lot of us are in the same boat!
MidwestGal Posted July 27, 2016 Hello! Did you receive a confirmation email and then an interview invite or was the first email from them an interview invite?
hfillman Posted July 27, 2016 Author Hello! Did you receive a confirmation email and then an interview invite or was the first email from them an interview invite? Hey there! I received several emails from them in this order: May 31 - receipt of initial application June 6 - receipt of complete application June 15 - notification of being on the "interview-hold" list July 19 - formal interview invitation with the interview date Hope this helps!
MidwestGal Posted July 27, 2016 Thank you! I was caspa verified 7/20 and I still haven't heard anything. What does interview hold list mean?
hfillman Posted July 28, 2016 Author Thank you! I was caspa verified 7/20 and I still haven't heard anything. What does interview hold list mean? I'm not entirely sure what the interview hold list means. In talking with my friends who are current PA students at Iowa, they said that it is a new thing.
lmn2017 Posted July 29, 2016 Hfillman - I also received an invite for the Aug 26-27 interview! I had to reschedule it to the next one though, Oct 6-7. I had my CASPA verified near when you did and received the same emails, including the interview hold one. Maybe it was just to let us know we were still being considered without offering an actual interview?

Maybe it was just to let us know we were still being considered without offering an actual interview? That is what I was guessing. Since it was sent out so early in the summer I feel like it was their way of letting us know ahead of time that we would be getting an interview but maybe they didn't have the dates set up yet. Best of luck to you at your interview in October!!
JMHopefulPA-S Posted August 3, 2016 Hey there! I received several emails from them in this order: May 31 - receipt of initial application June 6 - receipt of complete application June 15 - notification of being on the "interview-hold" list July 19 - formal interview invitation with the interview date Hope this helps! I received an email 7/12 stating that they have received my CASPA application and the formal application review process will begin a week from the time of receipt. Is that the initial email you received or was that the complete application email? Not sure what else I would be missing to make my app "complete". There isn't a secondary correct? Thanks!
Stanjohn93 Posted August 4, 2016 I have my interview in 23 days, I can't wait! Best of luck to everyone else this interview season!
hfillman Posted August 11, 2016 Author I received an email 7/12 stating that they have received my CASPA application and the formal application review process will begin a week from the time of receipt. Is that the initial email you received or was that the complete application email? Not sure what else I would be missing to make my app "complete". There isn't a secondary correct? Thanks! I think that I only received a completed application email because I still had one letter of recommendation missing when I originally submitted my app. There is not a secondary application for Iowa. @sirkrimzon I look forward to meeting you at the interview!
erinld Posted August 11, 2016 I just got a call from Kaila today inviting me to the 26-27 interview. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Ctl2639 Posted August 23, 2016 I will also be attending the interview on the 26th-27th. Can't wait to meet everyone and learn more about the program. Does anyone know what exactly the MMI session consists of? Is it individual or group? With students, alumni, or faculty?
erinld Posted August 23, 2016 I will also be attending the interview on the 26th-27th. Can't wait to meet everyone and learn more about the program. Does anyone know what exactly the MMI session consists of? Is it individual or group? With students, alumni, or faculty? The MMI is ten 6-8 min individual interviews. If I had to guess, we will be interviewing with people with different involvements in the program! It's the final countdown. See you all in a few days!
hfillman Posted August 31, 2016 Author The interviews went great! The information session and tour on the Friday before was a perfect way to get to know some of the faculty and made the actual interview much less stressful because everyone is so nice there. For future interviewees, dress for that Friday is more business casual instead of business formal. I didn't realize that so I wanted to give you all a heads up! The actual interview is an interesting set up, but I personally liked it. You have 10 different stations, with 10 minutes total at each station. Two minutes to read the scenario and form your answer, then 8 minutes to talk to someone one on one. They have questions to guide you through so try not to stress about trying to talk for the full 8 minutes. I received a call from the school yesterday letting me know that I had been accepted! The quick turn around was a pleasant surprise! They said that they will let people know anywhere from now until late December if they have been accepted. Let me know if you have any more questions about the process. Good luck everyone!
bailzz0528 Posted September 1, 2016 Congratulations, @hfillman! Who was it that called to inform you of your acceptance? So exciting!!
