fightingirish16 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi! This is my first time applying to Pitt's PA program. I would love to go to this school! Submitted 05/15 and received an email from the program that application was received 05/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtn16 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi there! I'm a current 1st year student here at Pitt's PA program. Make sure you get those CASPA apps in as early as possible and be confident in your answers and essays. You've made it this far so know that you are capable of getting into any program! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurePAinPA23 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I got an interview invite for July 25th on May 15th. Super excited! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtn16 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 When did you submit/get an interview invite last year? I submitted end of May and was offered a July interview but there are many of my classmates who interviewed later in the year and are here!

mtb45 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm a little late to the game, do you think that considering the early start and rolling admissions it's too late to be worth it to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seebe1ae Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It is absolutely not too late! I applied at the very end of August and got a response within a week to interview and now I am a student here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingirish16 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 This is my first choice school even though I've been accepted into another program! Do any of you recommend me calling the office and letting them know over the phone that it is my first choice in case I don't hear by the end of the summer? Or do they not care for that kind of thing? I don't want to seem overeager/annoying though... I submitted on 05/15 and just anxiously waiting to hear back!

A short and concise email of intent wouldn't hurt you. They like to see that people WANT to come and know why you chose to be a PA. Hope this helps! The waiting game is literally the worse part about it all haha. Even didactic year doesn't come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be able to give us any information and advice about the interview process and timeline? My tip for you is to get a good night's rest...like exhaust your body from a workout so you can sleep that night or something. And also to bring some snacks and water! My energy was waning towards the end of the interview day from constantly being on edge the entire time. Like gggarcia said, it's MMI format but don't stress or panic, it's like getting multiple chances to make a 1st impression. Try to meet new people who could potentially be your future classmates and you won't even have time to be nervous :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding accepted/waitlisted/denied? I actually don't think they mentioned anything at the interview but the current PA students said it's takes up to 4 weeks but you usually know in 1-2 weeks. I am assuming they let you know accepted, rejected, or waitlist but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
