lc3035 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 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. Perfect reply and great advice. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB11 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Perfect reply and great advice. Thanks. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner-- finals week! Stanjohn gave you great advice. Research MMI questions, be yourself, have a good time, and shine through your communication skills! Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svaneenenaam Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Can anyone accepted tell me when we get our login ID/pin numbers? I am trying to see what the required textbooks are! Or if anyone knows what books we need for the first classes in June could you please share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if anyone knows what books we need for the first classes in June could you please share! Your first 3 classes in the summer are Anatomy, Professional Issues, and Population Medicine. Everything you need will be in the power points. If you wanted to get the book for anatomy, it is your basic Netter's Anatomy (Atlas of Human Anatomy 6th edition) book, which is strictly pictures (not super helpful in my opinion, but I did look at it a few times-- and there is one of these books at each cadaver in the lab).. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmetzger853 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hey guys, does anyone else need to take a medical terminology course by May 15th and know a good place to take it? I have already taken it but I saw a place on Upstate's website that says you can take an online class of medical terminology at universalclass.com. Hope this helps!

cking354 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi, It took about two weeks post interview for my application status to change on the Banner Login Website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgirl1993 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 So apparently "hold for comparison" can result in any of the following: accepted, waitlisted, or rejected. I had my interview early December. I truly thought it went great. The program director even told me that I really hit the nail on the head with the ethical question answer. I got rejected. I'm bummed because I have so much history with upstate and I really love that school. Best wishes to the people still in the running. Keep up the positivity :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippy9 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Has anyone who has already been accepted or interviewed recently received any indication of whether the class has already been filled? Or might there still be further interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smv.01 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think the interviews are done, when I had mine in December they said they had two left. I'm currently on the waitlist so I think they've finished calling with acceptances. Did you finish your application completely? It's weird if they haven't contacted you. Maybe check bannerweb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe check bannerweb Thanks for the input, I interviewed back in October and have been put on the waitlist too. Just trying to get some info about what we may be able to expect since they said in the email not to call them about our position on the waitlist so our options are limited...Thanks again! And good luck getting that call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelF13 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Congrats to all those accepted! Does anyone know if there's a Facebook page for the incoming class? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmetzger853 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Congrats to all those accepted! Does anyone know if there's a Facebook page for the incoming class? :) There is a facebook page for the incoming class. Just search SUNY Upstate PA Class of 2019. It is a locked group so you have to be verified that you have been accepted into the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
