erinld Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Has anyone else heard back from the first set of interviews in regards to acceptances or rejections? Nothing yet. I know they said it could easily be October before most of us do, but it has me stressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfillman Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Congratulations, @hfillman! Who was it that called to inform you of your acceptance? So exciting!! Thank you! It was Mr. Brenneman that called me. Sorry if I made people more stressed by letting you know that I had received a call. That definitely was not my intent! For other schools I felt it was helpful for to know the admissions timeline. It is still very early in the cycle so there are plenty of open positions left!!

MidwestChick Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hey! Has everyone that got an interview invite gotten the 'interview hold' first OR did some people get the interview invite without the 'interview hold'? Thanks in advance!

erinld Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hey! Has everyone that got an interview invite gotten the 'interview hold' first OR did some people get the interview invite without the 'interview hold'? Thanks in advance! I interviewed on 8/26-27 and was on the interview hold list first! I don't have anything to back this up, but the interview hold list may have been for people who had verified applications early in the cycle. I wouldn't be surprised if they hand out interviews without putting you on hold first now that we are moving along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acolsch Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Everyone, My application was submitted September 7th, and I have only received the confirmation email. I am really worried because I have unfortunately already received two rejections from other programs. My stats are as follows: GPA: 3.59 Science GPA: 3.35 (I know this is low) Verbal GRE: 157 Quantitative GRE: 160 Writing GRE: 4.5 Hours of Patient Care Experience:1700 Hours of Shadowing: 100 Is it completely hopeless to wait for an email about an interview? Especially with such a low science GPA. I also feel like I submitted 3 weeks ago, and if I was going to get an interview invite I feel as though I would have gotten it already :( This is my first time applying and I am afraid I will not get into any of the schools I applied for.

Your stats are not bad, I wouldn't worry. Just stay positive and bolster your weak spots. A well rounded applicant (which is what you seem to be) is what PA programs are looking for.

ealto499 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Is anyone flying into Cedar Rapids this Thursday evening? It would be great to share the cost of a shuttle or uber to the hotel! I'm staying at the Radisson but it looks like it pretty much shares a parking lot with the Hampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erinld Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Have you heard back yet erinId?! Not yet! I emailed Kaila a while back and she said a few will find out after each interview if you received a certain "score," but the rest of us will have to wait until after their final interview in December. So I patiently wait.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acolsch Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I was really hoping to get an interview and have yet to hear anything. I submitted my application 9/7 and I am concerned that I waited too long. Would those who got interview mind sharing some stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crdpa-s Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I am back to interview here for the second time- Nov. 4th and 5th.Gearing up for that MMI. Anyone else coming in for those dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jruggiero22 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 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! What would you recommend wearing the two days? Planning to wear a black suit for the actual interviews, but what did applicants wear for the business casual day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanjohn93 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 What would you recommend wearing the two days? Planning to wear a black suit for the actual interviews, but what did applicants wear for the business casual day? A tucked in button down and good shoes should be enough for the first day. I went with a blazer over it, but it is definitely not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
