sarahn113 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 That's good to know! nehigley, I really hope you get in! :)I'm wondering when they'll be sending out the next round of interview invites... I know they don't interview in November, so I'm guessing at the end of this month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAcmdub Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 They don't interview at all in November? Did they say why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahn113 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 They don't interview at all in November? Did they say why not? I'm not sure. They didn't say why during the information session. They just told us that they'd be interviewing October, December, January and February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it will be sometime this week! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAcmdub Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 @nehigley, can I ask what put it at the top of your list over other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehigley Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 @nehigley, can I ask what put it at the top of your list over other schools? For me, it was most important that I could be close to home. My husband works in GR and I wanted to be able to live with him while in school. Also, talking to the PAs I work with, they regard Western as one of the best programs in the state (one of the oldest and most established as well!) Finally, tuition-wise it is one of the cheapest that I applied to, and for anyone who is currently paying back undergrad, they definitely know what I'm talkin' about. :) All these things as well as having great facilities and experienced staff make it the best option for myself. I hope this helps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmtam Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 About how long after submitting your app did you hear back for an interview? My friend got weened out a week after she sent her supplemental app. I submitted 2 weeks before her and haven't heard anything.

fkdammann Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello Fellow Applicants - Nothing against Michigan but I had previously not looked at the state's options! Last week my partner received two different residency interviews at Michigan hospitals, I now am highly interested in applying for PA school in the state. Western seems like a great program too and is open, however my application would be very late.I am considering in contacting their admissions rep to ask if they're still reviewing applicants and/or a little about my reasoning for applying late. Any advice on this from interactions any of you have had with their staff? I did see they're continuing to interview into spring! One last thing, I received a B/C in Biochemistry. I am retaking the course this spring however I cannot include it in the Western application. I wanted to make sure this did not count as a C in Western's eyes (so if anyone else applied and was verified with a B/C please confirm). Thanks for any advice!

First, you are not too late at all! WMU does not review your file until all of your pre-requisites are done. So for many people who are taking fall classes, they are not out of the running. I would recommend that you still apply and see where the chips fall. If all your prerequisite classes are done, then your file will be reviewed even sooner than all those other folks. As for the B/C- I'm not sure. I would assume that a safe bet would be that WMU would take the same grade that CASPA did. Good luck with your application!

sarahn113 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yay! Congratulations, nehigley! I haven't received anything yet but since they just accepted their first round of applicants, they will probably send out more soon! From the information session, I was told that there will be interviews taking place in December. So I would say keep an eye on your email, guys! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgerstheimer93 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I had my interview at Western on Oct. 28th and was told we would hear back by e-mail either way (accepted or not) within 8-10 business days. It's been way past that and still haven't heard anything..... has anyone from this interview date heard anything? I don't know when to give up hope, the waiting is getting more difficult each day :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know when to give up hope, the waiting is getting more difficult each day :( I was at that interview as well! I also was getting frustrated with the waiting game. I did hear on this last Monday that I was accepted, though. I would check your spam box. I would also email Holly and ask for an update. When I emailed her a couple weeks ago she was great about getting back to me within a couple hours! Best of luck to you and hang in there!
