LS2PA Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi all! I have an interview coming up on Feb 24th! Does anyone know if there is a specific list of medical terms that we should look over? (Or have a good link) I took the class 4 years ago. Also, how did some of you prepare for the group interview? Any tips are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob_whitney Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Would anyone that has already been accepted be willing to share their stats? (GPA/GRE/HCE)? GPA: 3.54 GRE: 315 (4.0 writing) HCE: 1600 (EMT-B) Accepted 11/11/16 Good luck! If you get an interview just be yourself. If you got an interview they know you can handle it academically. They're just looking for the right people for their program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf1215 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Do they let you know if you do not get selected for an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrenner0991 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well. Super duper late in the game. I have been pondering whether to submit my application to this school just because it is quite spendy, with the CASPA, supplemental, and GRE score sending.. Decided to give it a try. Congrats to all who have gotten interviews/accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_kelley Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Does anyone know how much the GRE weighs when considering an applicant? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_kelley Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think that the Critical Reading and Essay weigh more than the math portion. My math score was pretty awful (48th percentile) and I still got accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnd345 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 They take into account the whole application. The GRE shows them only a small portion of you. Valuable, yet small. Be strong in other areas and you should be fine. I have some past classmates get in with 286 and 290. They had excellent LOR's, great grades, and plenty of HCE. Build a well rounded application. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aalaina Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have a 2.82 undergrad Gpa . 302 gre score . 200 shadow hours . 200 volunteer hours. Strong letters of recommendation. Should I apply ? I know it's within one month of the deadline. Would that be an issue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammycat Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm having a hard time finding it on their website but when does the 2017 class start? Orientation is in September. Classes start the first week of October I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yimbo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 By the grace of god Got an interview scheduled for mid march with what I'd consider average stats. Any tips from current students or anyone who has already interviewed? No problems really interviewing in general but just wondering if there's any areas I should focus on to increase my chances of nailing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aalaina Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 2.82 is due to my poor effort and dedication to school during the first 3 years of undergrad. Also having full time (min. 50 hour/ week) job didn't help. Grades have improved after I wrapped my head around what I decided to do in my career and how important school will play in it. Leaving my job and improving my grades in the last year and a half. A letter of recommendation from a professor states this. Having taken a class of hers as a freshman and receiving a D and then another upper division as a senior and earning an A. South college is on my mind since I have a brother that is a current student of the physical therapy program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yimbo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Gpa: 3.2~ Post grad science/pre req: 3.6~ 0 hours at send off in August but now almost 1000 GRE was around 75th percentile for everything Nothing too spectacular for shadowing or letters but they must have liked something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do pay attention to the direction of your grades ( i.e. an upswing). I do know one person who got in with a similar GPA, but he was an experienced combat medic with a decade of experience, so I cant presume to know what you should do either way.

Dharri20 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Good morning. I recently applied and received my "under review" email. Hoping to get an interview but I don't seem to compare to the previous post I've read. I meet the minimum requirements but it appears everyone else excels the minimum so I'll keep you all posted if I hear anything. This is my 1st time applying for PA school so I'm full of all kinds of mix emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluidworks Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Anyone know of an inexpensive place to stay nearby? I've never been to the area so is an uber from the airport doable or is it quite a distance from the school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLynn Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Anyone know of an inexpensive place to stay nearby? I've never been to the area so is an uber from the airport doable or is it quite a distance from the school? When I interviewed I rented a car from the airport for like $70 for 2 days because it seemed like a better option then constantly needing a taxi/Uber. The airport was about 20 minutes from the school though so an uber wouldn't be crazy expensive. I stayed at Baymont Inn & Suites Knoxville/Cedar Bluff TN. It was about $85/night and was less than 10 minutes from the school. Hope this helps ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
