Congrats on the interview though and good luck! :) I shadow a PA that got his MPA at UF and he talks very highly of the program! Good luck to you too! :) Honestly wishing everyone the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbz475 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 My initial review was on 6/19 and I still haven't heard anything about a second review, interview, or rejection. Is anyone in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsters Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The secondary review means you have met minimum qualifications. If you apply with too low of a GPA or too little experience or otherwise have not met minimum requirements, then you do not receive a secondary review. Keep in mind that not everyone is reviewed or interviewed in the order in which applications are received. Since the first round of interviews have not even occurred yet, it is way too early to speculate on your chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatChecko Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 It's a long, slow process. The closer to the fall we get, the higher number of applicants to process and things inevitably slow down. Interview invites continue through November, so communications may be scant until then. Hang in there! Waiting is the worst part of the process. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD2012 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 @GreatChecko I was curious what the dress code for dinner after orientation was, if there is one? Also, for the 1st day of orientation, I plan to have khakis, a button up shirt/polo, with dress shoes acceptable? I know they said business casual for orientation in the email.

I know they said business casual for orientation in the email.The dinner will be at a local restaurant with current PA students only and is a laid back affair. You can come as you are, as the students will be pretty casual. To be honest, the timing is usually pretty close to the end of orientation, so you will end up wearing whatever you had on for that.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dinner for orientation is either going to be at a bar/restaurant called the swamp which is pretty casual, or at a place downtown that is a latin restaurant (cant recall the name although I went as a student). Most of the students are going to be there in scrubs or t-shirts/jeans etc. I wouldn't plan for anything super fancy in addition to the interview. Its very informal, no faculty will be there. It will just be you and the first year students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndiehl87 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I reached out to the committee via general email account in regards to my status, as I still haven't heard back about 2nd review vs. being declined. I was concerned as I've had several schools tell me there were issues with my transcripts based on how courses were listed. UF said that they will contact us if there are any issues. Just a heads up for everyone else, I'm sure that others have posted something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatChecko Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 [mention=91795]GreatChecko[/mention], any last-minute advice for those of us interviewing Monday?Be yourself, give them honest answers not the textbook, cookie cutter ones. It's a friendly experience, they are not going to try to make things any more pressure filled than they already are. Also, other than getting a good night's sleep before your interview on Tuesday or Wednesday, take a quick moment to read your essay, to remind you of what you wrote and get you back in that mindset. They really did read it and will likely ask about it. Finally, go to the student dinner, it's worth the time and will give you a great, honest look at the program. Congratulations and All the best!
