I have my fingers crossed for Anchorage so I guess I'll just have to keep working on improving my resume and counting down until November :) Does anyone have any idea on how many students each location takes? I know I've read it somewhere but have admittedly forgotten! Haha Oh and forgot to mention Anchorage can have up to about 24 or 25. Class 7 was small at 14 and Class 8 had 23 and now 21.

Why do folks get tured down and yet there are open seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do folks get tured down and yet there are open seats? I'm not sure in Class 7, that was the first time my wife applied and there were I think 17 or 18 accepted. I know one found out how expensive it was (it is a lot with tuition, books and more if you want a good estimate let me know) and had a good job so declined his seat. Not sure about the others. She was upset with the fact that she wasn't accepted and it was such a small graduating class. I know in here class (Class 8) one had a medical withdraw for this year and one has to start in Class 9 due to academic reasons. My best guess from what she has said is they will do smaller classes if they don't feel personalities will match. IMO that is a big reason on who they pick because you spend so much time with your class they want to make sure everyone gets along as best as possible.

PNWPaWannabe Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I am applying at Anchorage, does anyone know, when do they start the interviews in Alaska? Anchorage always interviews the first weekend in December, well the last few years. Invites go out the first week or so of November.

My wife is Anchorage class 8 and busy with clinical starting next week but I know quite a bit and can help answer specific Anchorage questions. In fact with support from my wife, I've decided to apply to MEDEX, though it will be in 2022 hopefully :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time applicant, International Medical Graduate, submited and verified about late June/ early July. I am from Seattle and would like to meet before the interview if anyone is interested! Hi, I am also an International Medical Graduate, but I am in Anchorage. Happy to hear about your invitation, how was the process for the requirements? for me was long. I believe the challenging question for IMG is why the transition to MD to PA. I hope we can talk, its is nice to know an IMG. Yanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
