I think someone will create it in Spring when the class is set and they send us those packets they mentioned in the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futuroPA Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 For those of you who've interviewed already, how long does the interview last? My interview is at 10:30 AM and the email did not specify what time it would be over. I'm just wondering for return flight purposes as I'm coming in from out of state.

Hello, it really depends on your responses. The interviewee before me took about 15 min while I took the full 30 min. I did have longer responses and was accepted. Just be yourself. They are interviewing you and no one knows you better than yourself. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interview was at 10:30 as well but I was not called in until about 11am because they were running behind. I was in the interview for about 30-45 minutes, but it really depends just on you and how you answer and if you have any questions for the interviewers. I would also say take some time to walk through the campus a little bit, I took a short tour before the interview. Hope that helps you out a little bit.

rebsli17 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi everyone! Does anyone know what the "Academy for Success" mean on the program's website when it is mentioned as the following? "Does the program require a security deposit if I get accepted? Answer: Accepted applicants do not need a security deposit, instead they secure their seat in the program by enrolling in the Academy for Success." Also since the interview does not include a tour... what have y'all been doing to get a feel of the campus and see the cadaver lab? (Self-conducted tour? lol) And I guess we wont be able to talk to the current students there? I'll be having my interview on Wednesday so just wondering : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have not gotten an interview invite, but I am sure it is on its way(: The program is trying to do rolling admissions. Cohort is not full yet. Only a few were selected.

Guest physasst3 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 For those who interviewed already, how many questions did they ask in the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yehern Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 They are expecting to have all of the class selected by Jan/Feb. The acceptance e-mail says they anticipate sending out packets to all of the new students in "January or February (early Spring)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't really a set number. My interview was very conversational and the questions would come off of what I would say in some cases, it really depends. My best advice would be to know about the profession and the differences between PA and other medical providers. Just speak about what you have done to prepare for this career. This interview was very laid back. I just pretended I was talking to a family member who was curious about the PA position and what I have done to prepare, it made it so much easier!

rebsli17 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Had my interviews yesterday and got a goody bag! (What a pleasant surprise!) just wanna advise those who are driving to the interview by themselves. Please plan to arrive campus an hour before your interview to obtain a parking permit for the day at the police department (which costs $1 but you still have to go and get it, unless you find the one kiosk that sells it on campus). Once you get the parking permit the closest parking lots with “visitors parking” are E27-29. I was so glad I got there early enough to park and settle down. You can check the campus map on utrgv website beforehand. Or you could ask the students on campus like what I did lol The students were all very friendly and willing to help. The interview was very laid back like others have mentioned.. wish they can give us a tour of the program/ cadaver lab and meet the current students though. Anyway, looking forward to getting a call! Stay positive :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAcmdub Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 For any of my out of state people, does it seem a bit much to travel so far for a 30 minute or less interview? Most schools offer tours and current student meet and greets. An interview is for both parties to learn more about each other and it doesn't really seem that way to me...
