Congrats on your interview and acceptance! Is this your first choice? Can I ask what your thoughts on the program (most unique thing besides PBL?) and any advice for the interview? I'm a little nervous that it's already the fifth interview but I am super excited to interview next month and see the campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask what your thoughts on the program (most unique thing besides PBL?) and any advice for the interview? I'm a little nervous that it's already the fifth interview but I am super excited to interview next month and see the campus. It is an amazing program and I really enjoyed spending a day there getting to know the school, faculty, and students. The PBL is the most unique aspect of the school so it is smart to have a good understanding of it and how your learning style fits into the curriculum. Another exciting aspect is the opportunity to rotate through Northwestern Memorial and Lurie Children's- both world class hospitals. For the interview I probably don't have any tips you haven't thought of already-- just know why you want to be a PA, why Northwestern, what you will bring to the incoming class, etc. It is a relatively relaxed day (as relaxed as any interview day can be haha) and the faculty makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. I was not used to Chicago rush hour traffic so I do wish I had left a little earlier in the morning to get there on time. I arrived with time to spare but it added a little unneeded stress the morning of. It is cliche to say but I really did feel the faculty just wanted to get to know me and not try to trick me with any curveball questions or anything.

Yes, they are. I contacted the University and they said they will be having interviews through December and have not sent out all their invites.

melmarie Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I haven't received any invite or rejection from Northwestern and I finished all my application materials mid- may. My stats are 3.9 overall GPA, 4.0 Science and Prereqs, 600 hours as an EMT, 302? total GRE score (I forgot) and I also have 720hrs as a therapist for adolescents but I was an intern so they didn't count those hours. Safe to say I'm getting a little nervous! Oh also- 40 hours of shadowing 3 PAs in different specialties, and a variety of volunteering activities. I have a Master's degree in mental health.

You sound like you're very strong academically! And what a cool experience- working as a therapist for adolescents. It sounds like you have a really strong app- especially with your masters degree. I wouldn't be surprised if you heard from them soon... or any other program for that matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moleashish Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I am interviewing this Friday and I am starting to get a little anxious (in a good way). Thank you to those who have provided some insight and reassurance about the interview process and congratulations to those who have been accepted. Anyone else here interviewing on Friday the 13th? What a day for interview. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from other programs and have gotten accepted which I should be ecstatic about- but Northwestern is my top choice 110% and has been for years! Good luck on your interview with them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartriver Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hey guys, I interviewed on Sept 27th, haven't heard anything. If I recall correctly, Kevin said something about most of us being notified of a decision by a little before Thanksgiving. Did I hear that wrong? Anyone remember the specifics?

At the 10/21 interview Kevin said that the class is 52% full and that they would be conducting two more interview sessions( if I remember correctly). A few days after the interview I was accepted and will be taking a seat in the class. ALSO, working in your favor, the class this year has been expanded to 36 so their are 6 more seats available than usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
