hopefulPA2B Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I can split the rental car. I am a premium AAA member so I get a free rental with a second driver. I'll be in Yakima the day before, and staying the night in Union gap, I think. Let me know what you think. If it's too complicated, I'll pitch in on someone's rental car.

Kellyhayzlett Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Awesome that sounds great! I will be here: Red Lion Hotel: 607 E Yakima Ave, Yakima, WA 98901 I am getting my rental car at the airport and then driving to Yakima on the 2nd. I should arrive there around 3. We can have dinner the night before and drive together to the interview or we can just hang afterward and have a drink (post interview LOL).

Hi guys, My little sister lives in Seattle so she may be taking the day off work to drive me down to Yakima, although I already have the flight. I am happy to meet you guys to check out the campus and do dinner and/or drink. We will be driving back up to Seattle following the interview. I believe my sister will have space for 2 back up to Seattle. I won't be leaving until Sunday evening, but if someone needs a lift to the lightrail I am sure we can figure something out.

nickinator3000 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It was awesome meeting everyone at the latest interview date, you guys are seriously among the coolest people I've ever met. Super stoked to have received my acceptance call this morning! Best of luck to everyone else, you guys got this!! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaSa2015 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hey Guys! I received an acceptance call yesterday and have decided to go with another program. Hopefully this opens a seat for someone on the wait list. Wishing you all the best on this next chapter of your lives! Margarita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skygice Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hey everybody! I got an acceptance call earlier this week but will be turning it down for another program. I hope this helps pull someone off the waitlist. Good luck to everyone! -Skyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrice08 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hey guys! I was told I was #4 on the wait list, so thank you so much for posting that you will be accepting elsewhere! It's so stress relieving to have a little information! Does anyone know what the stats are for acceptance off the wait list?? I know it can vary so much from year to year and program to program, so it's probably just another round of agonizing 'wait and see'. Is anyone else on the wait list??? -Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulPA2B Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hey guys/gals, I have my second PA school interview next month and am looking for insights. At my first interview, the question was asked, "How do I expect to make the transition from undergrad work, to graduate work (aka, PA school)," as they are both very different worlds. The question kind of took me off guard, since I never considered this, but maybe this is a question in disguise. Maybe its a question about how I deal with stress, manage time, etc. I am reaching out to recent graduates, current students, or those accepted to programs to answer this one. Thank you in advanced!

adrice08 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I would say that regardless of how they are asking the question, (or whatever hidden meaning you might think is behind it) that would be a very appropriate way to answer it. You only have the experience and skills built up in undergraduate and possibly post bac education to draw from, but those study skills and good habits have gotten you to this point. I would give examples of how you have learned to deal with stress in both academic and professional settings. Good study skills can certainly be applied to graduate programs the same as undergraduate. If you have taken classes while working (or had some other large responsibility in addition to school work) then that would be a great example of how you assign priorities, manage deadlines and juggle multiple pulls at your attention while still maintaining a high GPA. It seems to me they want to know that you can handle what is undoubtedly an intense program, and that you can speak about it intelligently. The nice thing about PA programs is that they are very focused, and generally small, so I would think that like any other small, close knit group, there is a vested interest among the members of the group to have everyone succeed. There is also a lot of support to ensure that you do succeed. Good luck on your interview, hope that helps a little! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmiller82215 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hey guys! I was told I was #4 on the wait list, so thank you so much for posting that you will be accepting elsewhere!

Is anyone else on the wait list??? -Adrian Adrian, I interviewed in November and received an email yesterday that I was on the waitlist as well! But when I asked where I was on the list, they told me they don't have an order for the waitlist. I find this odd since I saw your post about being #4 on the waitlist, but I didn't want to press the matter. I also asked them how many people have been accepted from the waitlist in previous years, and they just said it varies. Have you received any more info since you were told you were on the waitlist? Does anyone understand what their process is for wait listed individuals since they "don't have an order" for us chosen to be on the list? Thanks and good luck everyone! -Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellyhayzlett Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hey there. My name is Kelly and I got in to cohort #4. Could it be that you were placed on a waitlist for cohort #4 and not 4th on the list? Just a thought.... Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrice08 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 yeah, absolutely possible that I misinterpreted. good point about the cohort #4. (although #4 on the waitlist sounds waaay better!) They said this in the email: " You have been placed on our interview waitlist, #4. We will notify you on January 2017 or sooner whether a seat has become available for the next incoming cohort. " So I took it as position #4, and didn't want to bother them too much, other than to say I was still definitely interested. But, since you spoke to them, I guess I'd go with what they said -- that they don't have a order -- although the email is a little wishy washy ..... I dunno. I would love to be accepted, but it seems the odds seem rather small at this point, sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmiller82215 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah I feel the same way. I just wish I had a better idea of where I stand. Do you have any idea how many people they put on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrice08 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 yeah, no idea. I know most schools have at least the number of people in the class, on the waitlist. But that doesn't narrow it down very much. I think statistically speaking its a reasonable accomplishment to get on the waitlist considering all the people who apply, and then those who interview and are rejected. I've looked online an there are no stats on how many people are accepted off the waitlist from any schools really, they don't release that info at all. Just comes down to a wait and see, I guess!

jaredlj3 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I was reading the comments from cohort 3 when they were going through their interview process. I know at least number 3 on the waitlist got in, possibly more, it doesn't go into much detail. Hopefully that can give you some comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
