Pez Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I am interviewing Wednesday. Anyone who has interviewed I encourage you to give a brief overview. Also, if someone could provide who the interviewers are, that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmD Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 For those who interviewed today, I hope the interviews went well. Pls share your interview experience. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorecarson121 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I haven't interviewed yet, but I would caution those who have from sharing your experience online. It is important to maintain the integrity of the interview process. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Integrity? Remember this is an assessment on them getting to know you.... not a test or exam. Even if an applicant knows potential questions in advanced, it is not going to make you any stronger since the questions are based off of past experiences. No reason to caution anyone about discussing the interview process unless they explicitly state to keep it hush. The problem with the premed community and subsequently the pre-PA community is the lack of support and collaboration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheshark89 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Pez, it is standard practice not to discuss interview questions. Any admissions committee who found out students knew questions in advance or had an unfair advantage in the process would almost certainly reject that applicant. Having been involved in admissions in two schools, I can say that with certainty. Furthermore, don't forget faculty members can and do read these forums, and even if you do not see an issue with it, they likely will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmD Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I am for integrity and I concur to NOT violate any policy if interviewees were asked not to disclose their experiences. However, schools are different in their policies. From my experience of past healthcare professional interviews, interviewees were told ahead of time to talk to current students about the interview processes and their experiences.

The problem with the premed community and subsequently the pre-PA community is the lack of support and collaboration. Pez I see what you mean, but I encourage you to heed markthesark89's advice-- it's not about limiting collaboration, it's in your own interest. At one of my interviews, right before our group was instructed not to share our interview experiences, the big wigs gave a "talk" about how people were sharing how their interviews went and what others should expect, right down to the questions that were asked. That knowledge was gained from the PA forum. Those involved were denied consideration. Now, it very well might be the case that some programs (maybe even Yale) might have no problem with people sharing interview info to this year's applicants. But I would think that's a heck of a lot of time, money, and effort to gamble on, if that's not the case. If you want to share your experience, that's up to you. I believe the pre-PA community is very supportive and collaborative. People don't have to give their stats and timelines when they get notification to interview, but most do. Best of luck tomorrow!

harden4mvp Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 For what it's worth, Kevin the admissions counselor, will tell you everything you need to know about the interviews. He did say it's confidential but he gives you tips and advice and it's straight from the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modernlily16 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 does anyone know how long after interviews will admissions decisions be sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessiegrl Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I asked that question during my final interview today, and was told not to expect to hear anything until after labor day. Also, if we don't get a seat during the first round, our applications will remain in the running until the final pool of applications have been reviewed. Good luck everyone!

brandonhughey Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Do you think since people are applying, interviewing, and being accepted to the online program, the on-campus program will be slightly less competitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmD Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I don't see the on campus to be less competitive; the cost of tuition is even way less ~$39k as against online =~$95k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Is it just me... or did the "academic interview" seem like it was the more important of the two? I can also confirm that the admission committee will be making their decisions after Labor Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemTeach Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The program director and associate program director will be on vacation for two weeks. So for sure we won't hear anything for the next two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve a break though, considering the stress associated with the volume of applications. Good luck y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
