Unfortunately I have another interview for that same day in Oregon. Per the email, doesn't seem like you are allowed to reschedule your date. Does anyone have insight on this? I'm not 100% sure about that. There are definitely only 3 more interview dates at GW, including 10/21. I don't know how your interview in Oregon is set up, but I'd look into moving that one. If not possible I would contact Erin ASAP to see if you can go to the next interview date instead. Worst she can say is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same issue, but if it is an interview for Pacific University, they were super understanding and I rescheduled it to November 4th.

kpkamp Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I was invited for an interview on 10/21! Coming from Denver. I applied MS/MPH. Does anyone know how the interview different for those candidates? Or how many people applied for the duel program? I know there aren't many seats open for it. Also, any tips to improve on MMI? I was rejected from the first school I interviewed at, which used MMI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistercire Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have no idea. I will be entering (if accepted) with an MPH. What other schools did you apply to? I am interviewing at my number one choice (University of Washington) the week before GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWUlian Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 It's the same interview day process for both PA and MPH candidates. Generally the dual classes are about 10-15 students. My biggest tip for MMI (I was an interviewer last year) is to think out loud: I wanted to see how people approached a problem, what they considered, what their support was for their point of view. Have a point of view! If you give me a safe, bland answer I'm going to remember you as a bland candidate. I wrote in several people's evaluations last year "I personally disagreed with what they said but I think they made a good argument." Don't be boring. Don't take 5 of the 7 minutes to come up with an answer to the prompt. I don't know the specific details of the social event but typically it starts around 7pm on Friday at a bar within a few blocks of the school. It's very casual just a chance for us all to meet each other. It should hopefully make the interview day less stressful when you realize we're all humans just like you.

WonderWall Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 In case anyone knows: Does the GWU program review applications in the order received? Are you more likely to get an early interview if you applied early and a later one if you applied later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWUlian Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Roughly, yes. I don't think they go through day by day but it's done in batches, starting in June or July I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movedaround Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Has anyone here heard back from the 9/23 interview group? I know they mentioned only a few would be early acceptance offers and the rest would hear back once all of the interview dates had passed (early november) but i just figured I would see if anyone here did get the early offer?

I'll be at GWU for the October 21 interview day and will probably attend the social event on Friday. Looking forward to meeting everyone! I applied for the PA/MPH program. Do you know if it's possible to be rejected for the MPH program but still be accepted into the 2-year PA program? Or do both programs have to extend acceptances for an applicant to attend GWU? Is there an option to attend only the PA program if accepted into both PA and MPH programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted mine on June 6 and I'm not sure if they sent out all of the invites for the October session, but I know they still have two more interview sessions on November 4 and 18. Good luck!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almortega Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I was just invited for an interview today!! So excited! I applied really late, not until late August so very shocked I got an interview. Most schools urge you to apply as early as possible. I’m coming from New Mexico, I have multiple friends living in DC and GW is one of my two top choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe you can be accepted to/choose to go into the PA only program from the MPH/PA program. It might be good to email Erin McKan Thomas to confirm. Glad everyone is excited to interview! I have zero knowledge of the progress from the first interview group, unfortunately. We just had our PA Week (Oct 6-12!) reception tonight with alumni, preceptors, students, faculty, and staff and it was really cool to take a moment to appreciate how special the PA profession is and how awesome the GW PA program is. I've said it a bunch, but I have never regretted my decision to come here. I sincerely hope you all will feel the same way whatever program you end up attending.

I'll check with Erin about that.

akirby4 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Was invited to interview on November 4th. I submitted late May and my invitation wasn't until October 9th. Seems like they don't necessarily go in order of application submission. I'm excited to meet everyone next month and can't wait to learn more about this program!
