At this point no news is good news (but the waiting is agonizing)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAstriker Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hey guys! I got an interview invitation about a week after I submitted my supplemental, I am interviewing August 9th! I am a second time applicant through this cycle but not to this program. I was wait-listed at 2 other programs last cycle and interviewed at 3/8 that I applied to. I just graduated with my Bachelor's in May 2017 and look forward to this PA cycle. Anyone know what the interview process is like/if they throw you off with any weird questions? Happy to share my credentials too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk@jmtam This is a professional program. No one likes someone who complains all the time. Becoming a PA you will deal with patients and no one would want to deal with someone who complains about not getting everything they want in life. You didn't get a rejection so stop whining about it. Everyone here is going through or has went through what you are going through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a community where we can lift each other up during a tedious and nerve wrecking processes. We are allowed to be emotional because we all have put our blood, sweat, and tears into this. We've ALL put aside our personal lives to come to this point. We all knew what we were doing when we decided to go into this profession, that goes for me too. Regarding the way you weren't too happy with my response, or that I am constantly complaining: We are allowed to feel and go through the ups and downs. That is why we have this forum to reach out to each other. I'm not sorry for my response is because I want other students to feel comfortable talking to each other, rather than tearing each other down. We're not asking for a pity party, we're asking for support. We're all feeling somewhat the same way. I'm sure other second, and even third, time applicants are feeling this way too. I just said it out loud. We are humans. We can let it out, its healthy. Aside from that, I do wish everyone the best of luck this cycle! Congrats to those who were already invited to an interview! I'm super excited for you! Best wishes! More importantly: DON'T GIVE UP :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyyx Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yes, we are all here to support each other in this time! I think we all feel very vulnerable as we don't know what is going to happen. Positive thoughts, everyone!! And it's okay to express how you are feeling, :) that's what this forum is here for.

You will see us post periodically and can ask us questions that I'm sure we would be happy to answer or maybe redirect you to find an answer. Feel free to DM me and remember, it's only August! Stay positive and don't freak out :) Just like TifJanPA, I applied late... last minute, actually, and made it through.

run0811 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice: I'm flying in from out of town for the interview on 8/30 and do not land at the phoenix airport until 11:30 PM.. Does anyone know of a good way to get to a hotel close to campus? I looked into cabs but they're very $$$. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajames Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 You may be able to get an uber or lyft if you haven't looked at those yet. They tend to run cheaper than regular cab companies but require an app and registration on your mobile device. You could also use the Phoenix sky tran (24/7) at the airport which is a free service that takes you to the closest light rail station onto 44th st/Washington and ride it all the way out to mesa and then get a uber/cab if money is really a concern. The light rail is only $2 one way and functions like an above-ground subway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajames Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I just received my acceptance call. It's was very short and sweet, congratulating me, and letting me know I would receive an acceptance packet and email in a week or so. I think there are more of us to receive acceptances soon. It has almost been two weeks since the first interview. Good luck to everyone, and I can't wait to meet my new classmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
