Goodness, the wait is exhausting! :) Wish you all the best in your endeavors! Yeah, this forum has been very quiet for sometime bcos the principle of natural phenomenon has taken place. Those accepted have moved on and getting ready for January. Similarly, those rejected have moved on and either been accepted in another PA school or waiting or looking forward to another cycle next year. Alas! Don't loose hope, hang in there! Wishing y'all the very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I got my rejection email yesterday :'( I really thought I did well in my interviews but I guess not lol. This was my number one program so I'm very very sad about it. All the best to everyone else for the future interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Rider Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have my interviews on Tuesday 10/24! It will be my first and only interview I’ve received. Any more advice or things I should prepare or have on hand for them? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, look up standard interview questions as well. I didn't memorize anything, just think about what you might say. Also, reread your essays and think of why you are going to make a good PA. It gives you a confidence booster right before the interview, but don't be cocky, be confident ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the academic interview for going over my past academics? Like maybe a poor grade I had? Or more about the academics of PA school? Then is the personal interview just the typical PA school interview questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Rider Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Also, it sounds like you do the interview on your phone in the email I received? Is that how you guys did it since it says it uses your phone number? I was expecting it would be done over my laptop.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're supposed to log in through your laptop and then once you're in it asks you to enter your phone number. Once you do that you'll get a phone call that you receive and that's how the audio works. You will need headphones that you can connect with your phone to hear and listen properly. Hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the academic interview for going over my past academics? Like maybe a poor grade I had? Or more about the academics of PA school? Then is the personal interview just the typical PA school interview questions? Both past and future academics, and personal can be anything. Think of both strengths and weaknesses. Be able to explain why you didn't do so well in one thing without being defensive or putting any blame on anyone. Mine was my gre. I explained how I prepared, why I thought I didn't do as well, and what I could have done to improve. I can't go over specific questions as questions are confidential and they do state this. But just don't over think it, don't over prepare, but take some time to know yourself...that part is harder than you think. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone interviewing is for the January 2018 class? Does anyone have any idea when in January the program starts? My Genetics course finishes on January 12th and I’m hoping that won’t be an issue with a possible acceptance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hustleforthePAC Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 You could ask during your interview as one of your questions and the good news is you are allowed one pending prerequisite not sure on details though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all the webinars attended and during interview, transcript for any pending pre-requisite must be received on or before December 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbjames6 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 My understanding of this is: If your class is a pre req, it absolutely needs to be finished before the start of class AND the transcript must also be delivered before the start of class. You will not be able to start and matriculate with the program if they do not receive the transcripts by that time. For example, if I am offered a seat in the program I MUST have my one pending course completed and transcripts arrived at Yale before the start of the program OR I will not be able to attend. Obviously, I recommend and encourage you to verify this with the staff/faculty at the program. This is just my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state that you must receive a grade of B or higher in any pending class to keep a seat, if admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbjames6 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Has anyone who interviewed after Oct 23rd heard back? During the interviews and webinar session it was mentioned that they were hoping to have all decisions made by Nov 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpoca Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I interviewed October 21st and received a rejection email last week. If you haven’t heard anything it’s probably a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
