fletcher10 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I also received a hold, does anyone know how many have need accepted already and how many more interview dates they have? Would anyone share info on GPa? I have 1000+ hours volunteer and work experience, 3.78 GPA, GRE were in range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanjohn93 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I received a call yesterday from Donna, I was accepted! I can't wait to meet everyone else and to begin in June! To those with the hold, I assume it means you will be periodically reviewed from now until they fill all their seats, so don't lose hope! Best of luck to everyone interviewing soon!

irishgirl1993 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Congrats! You must feel so excited and stress relieved. I'm still hoping for an interview invite. I have a 3.41 cumulative gpa and a 3.20 science GPA with bench research experience, ER scribe experience, phlebotomy experience, clinical research experience. Do you think I have a change at getting an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember to prepare for the interview if called, that's really your time to deliver the performance of your life! Don't lose hope and follow up with schools if you haven't heard back in a while!

PABC2017 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 For those who are on hold for comparison, have you heard any information regarding when we should expect to hear a decision? Also, what is the likelihood of being chosen as a hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lc3035 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hi guys! I am a 1st year PA student at Upstate. Just wanted to wish you all luck in the interviews! I know it is a stressful time, but keep up the positivity :-) If you have any questions, I can try to answer the best I can, as quickly as I can. For out-of-staters-- we have 2 non-NYS residents, and I think that has been the norm in the past couple years. Good luck to all! Can you provide some insight as to how the interview process works? Did you do anything in particular to prepare for your interview last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britttandrosko Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Based on what I am reading, you get an email if you are wait listed or rejected and a call if you are accepted? I interviewed 3 weeks ago and waiting to hear back. should be soon hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanjohn93 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Can you provide some insight as to how the interview process works? Did you do anything in particular to prepare for your interview last year? Upstate uses the MMI (Multiple mini interview) format for their interviews. I would google and youtube "MMI style interviews" so you can get some more information on this new format. I would also try and read up on current healthcare issues, SUNY Upstate's PA program, and common ethical dilemmas in medicine. When answering the questions, always think about the patient's well being as your top priority. Other than that, know who you are, what your strengths are, why you want to be a PA, and try not to over-think things! Be cool, calm, and collected, and let your passion and individuality shine on interview day. Remember that you want to connect with your interviewers so be memorable, genuine, and have fun with it! I hope that helped, let me know if you'd like me to expand on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
