Hello all,

I will be interviewing Nov 8th. I am so very excited and most definitely a little nervous. I am hoping to arrive at least a day prior to tour the area and get to know Phoenix a little bit better. I lived in Tucson for a while but never took the opportunity to sight see around Northern Arizona. Will anyone else be arriving early? Would you like to meet up prior to our interview day to break the ice and get to know each other?

Hi Emily,

I am also interviewing Nov. 8th. I am interested in meeting up prior to our interview to meet. I will be flying in and arriving in the afternoon of Nov 7th. Congrats to you!!

Hey everyone, 

I'm so encouraged by everyone's comments and positivity. I wish I had looked into discussion forums before my interview. I am curious if anyone interviewed on 9/27? And if anyone who has been accepted and currently lives in Arizona would like to have an informal meet up for coffee or lunch/dinner?

Just to share my process in hope that it may help or encourage others this cycle or next. I submitted my CAPSA application on 6/28. I received a secondary app invitation on 7/18 and submitted it on 7/27. Then I received an invitation to interview on 8/2. The only interview date available at that time was 9/27. I was told decisions would be shared within 2-3 weeks but received the acceptance phone call the following Monday, 10/2. This was my first time applying to PA programs (even with a not so great overall and science GPA). I originally planned on applying to 3 programs bc there is an emphasis on applying to as many programs as possible but I end up only applying to ATSU, which was my first choice. If anyone has questions, I happy to share my experience.

 Best of luck to fellow future PAs interviewing next month :)

Congrats! That's really impressive, applying to one school and getting in as a first time applicant. I was a second time applicant this cycle, applied to about ten schools, and was accepted into ATSU in August. I'm out of state (WA) and I won't be moving until later this Spring, but I'm really excited and can't wait for the program to begin.

Thanks! Congrats to you as well! I hope your move goes smoothly in the spring. I moved to Portland in 2014 but I am currently back in Arizona, so I can relate to the long drive. If you have any questions about the area, neighborhoods, etc I am happy to help. Congrats again!

Hello Lia, a decent size group of us Nov 8th interviewees will be meeting Nov 7th at 630pm at Seksun sushi. We would love to see you there. Just send me an email if you think you might join. :)

Does anyone have the interview scheduled for later than November 29th? That seems to be the latest date thus far.

[emilyPA]

@Possle I have an interview scheduled for January 3, so maybe that's the latest date!

Just today actually! I was under the impression I would be rejected, but was pleasantly surprised today with the invite :)

[BayToPA]

I also received an interview invite this morning for 1/3. Does anyone know if the class is full at this point or if we may be interviewing for a waitlist position? Thanks :)

Good to know! Hope you'll have a good time at your interview :)

[selukaterivargas]

Hello everyone! I received an interview invite yesterday for the 3rd of January! I am very excited about this because I applied last year and wasn't selected for an interview. I am wishing everyone well and I look forward to meeting some of you! 

 

[AngelGabrielVilla]

Hey y'all! I also received my invite yesterday for the 3rd of January!

Hi everyone!

I'll be interviewing on 11/29 and would love to meet up with any free current students/applicants the evening before (Tuesday 11/28). Please feel free to email me at kmwigley@ucdavis.edu if you'd like to get together.

This is my top choice program so I am beyond thankful.

Best - Kayla

Received a rejection email today @ 13:20

Thank you for applying to the Arizona School of Health Sciences’ Physician Assistant Program.  The number of applicants this year has made the selection process very competitive.  Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you an interview.

Applications are evaluated with a multiple step decision matrix.  Our data shows 17% of applicants are offered interviews and 4% of applicants are accepted as students.  As you can see, not being selected reflects mainly on competitiveness, rather than any specific weakness in your application.

We extend best wishes on your future endeavors.  Please note, the PA program does not release personal information regarding a candidate’s application.

Sincerely,

 

Director – Admissions Processing

Hi Christine, I'm so sorry to hear about the rejection. I am waiting to hear back from them too. When did you interview with ATSU?

I'm sorry. I misunderstood. Was this your first time applying? Have you heard from any other programs.

[kp1027]

Just received a voicemail that I was accepted pending an open seat!!! I'm not sure how many others are on this list, but they said they would call as soon as a seat becomes available between now and June. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone still waiting to hear back from this awesome program.

Congratulations @kp1027 !!!! That's so exciting. I received the same invitation. I only hope for our own sakes that we do receive that final invitation. Even if it is so late as June :)

I am also interviewing January 3rd! I was also wondering about this because of the late date and there are posts about people being accepted pending an open seat. 

[prePASfuturePAC]

I'm interviewing in January, can anyone tell a little about the format? Thanks :)
