PAB912 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 On 9/15/2017 at 10:22 AM, pa17 said: How does interview format work? I heard its one on one interview, group interview, and essay - is that correct? My interview is October 13th, so I just wanted to make sure. Also, is the essay a typical 5 paragraph response or could it be less? Congrats to all candidates that got accepted! It's hard to say what kind of response you can give on the essay since we don't see each other's work and you don't see what they are accepting. The best I can tell you is to answer completely. You get one full page, so use it to the best of your ability. I doubt anyone is judging the length or format of your work. Just be organized in your thoughts and answer the question. Paragraphs are just separations of complete thoughts, so it's based on how many parts there are to the question you are given. Also, don't let the group interview or anything worry you. It's relatively casual. I lucked out and had my one on one before anything else, but I felt pretty comfortable most of the day. I've had interviews where they would purposefully try to make you uncomfortable or stressed out to see how you react (even though it's a completely false judge of character) and it was nothing like that at South.

pa17 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thank you so much for the depth responses! This really helps and I look forward to attending the interview and meeting the faculty and staff members! Once again, the explanations really helped! I appreciate it! Good luck to all the candidates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa17 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 To the candidates that interviewed, what factors did you like about the school and overall program? I am looking at the website and I see the program is very personal with low student to faculty ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa17 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Does anyone know how many people are already accepted? I believe I am the last interview group of October 13th, so just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paguy123 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I asked that question during my interview and they would not tell me. I’m pretty sure the only accept 36 students for the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first arrived, I liked the campus. Parking is easily accessible. Amenities are close by. The building is nice with plenty of new learning tools. There is a cadaver lab available. The faculty that I spoke to were down to earth and seemed to receive my questions well regarding the program. I was overall the most comfortable in the interview at south compared to every other interview I've been to. The students were all happy to be students there as the 1st cohort. I did not find anything not to like besides the accreditation issue of the university which seems to be nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulpa17 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I know the details of this have been discussed; however, I am curious as everyone else's stance: is anyone worried about them being on financial probation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiogo Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Just to give you all an update on this since it is a concern for all of us. The dean has just informed us that the sale will be finalized by the end of this week. They were waiting on approval by the Department of Education and it has been confirmed. We were told that it should not be an issue at all and the school is very happy with finalizing this sale. Hope this helps! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in July they said we would get everything this week. No enrollment instructions yet, but I did receive an email today for starting the financial aid process.

CarolineJ Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Does anyone know how many people have been offered admission thus far? I believe the last interview date was a few days ago...

BlueHenPA16 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Got an email from South asking if I wanted to remain on the waitlist. I'm assuming that they're trying to shorten the waitlist so they don't offer a seat to someone who has already been accepted elsewhere. I think this might mean that the waitlist is rolling. Good luck to everyone still on the waitlist hoping for that phone call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
