dannysalvador94 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Since UTRGV will be conducting interviews in November as well. Does that mean that we will not know if we got accepted/rejected until December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"As shared in my January 19, 2017, letter to the campus community, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) was notified in December 2016, that we were being placed on probation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The probation is for a period of 12 months and will require SACSCOC Board action during its December 2017 meeting. As we previously reported, the specific concerns are related to the complexity of the transition that involved the separation of UTB/TSC, the separate accreditation of TSC, the rename of UTPA, and the closure of UTB once TSC received separate accreditation. It is hard to overstate the complexity of this process." From what I just read on all this, the next review is in December this year so that decision should be made public by February, maybe? At the latest? I feel like they will have everything together because they were informed on what they needed to improve on but just in case, that'll at least give us a fair amount of warning before the program starts so we can make our decisions.

Expect two professors/faculty to be interviewing you. "Tell me about yourself" is pretty much guaranteed. They will ask about any "red flags," especially on transcript. Make sure to have one to two questions prepared for the end of interview. Whole interview process is different this year vs. last year. And it is rolling admission this year.

karirmzv4 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 They told me it was not rolling admissions just rolling interviews and that it would probably be a long while to hear back from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac03 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I was told they were not doing rolling admissions and that they would be conducting interviews all semester. Did anyone from the valley get interviewed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnqsample1 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum but I'm glad to see so many of you posting and talking about your experiences. I have an interview in a couple of days and I'm pretty nervous! I'll let you all know how it goes! By the way, if you have any tips for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

dannysalvador94 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 So I emailed Ms.Davila last week asking her an estimated time of when we would know if we got accepted/rejected and she hasn’t written back. Usually when I email her I get a response with hours or at the latest a day:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarezai Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yeah usually she's good at responding back quickly. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the academic calendar, and the end of the semester is December 14th, although she did say "by" not "at", so I'm guessing later this month or early December? Idk, but I'm hoping later this month (trying to be optimistic here lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you greet your interviewers, give them your best smile and a firm handshake. Ik this is hard to do when you're nervous (me lol), but just be yourself and don't say all these fancy words thinking you'll impress them. Speak simply, but concisely, and just make sure you know your reasons for becoming a PA. It's a very relaxed interview, although I was still a bit nervous myself. What helped me is that I gave myself a little pep talk before going in, but do whatever works for you to calm your nerves. I'm sure you'll have an awesome interview... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
