MaryFred Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Do invitations for each date all go out at once or do they send invitations out sporadically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After talking with a few students that interviewed and were accepted last year, it is my understanding that they do interviews in blocks. They invite a certain #, interview them, then move on to the next block (when they finally decide to accept/waitlist/decline, I'm not sure). Also, Mrs. Dunn told me they are interviewing all the way into January and that invites will continue going out until then...there are many left to be sent! Hope that helps!

jordeze Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Good luck to everyone interviewing next week! I think the consensus about the interviews today (from the few applicants I talked to afterward) was that we had pretty laid back and friendly interviews. The best advice I got beforehand was to know myself. Just reflect on who you are, your goals, what you want from a career and why you want to be a physician assistant. Good luck, guys! Fingers crossed for those of us who just have to wait now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyAlleen Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Agreed @jordeze! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They ask questions to prove that you are knowledgeable about PA, NP, MD, DO, etc. They will also ask questions to make you think and reflect on your experiences. No one that we talked to got any off-the-wall behavioral type questions, which was a blessing! Know where you stand on some of the commonly asked ethical questions and be prepared to talk about yourself. Good luck everyone and Go Jags!!!

alakait Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 @AshleyAlleen and @jordeze Thanks for all of the information and congrats on what sounds like a successful interview day for both of you! Do you know/remember if the interviews were open file or closed file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordeze Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 @alakait open file, there were several times when they would say "I see here that blah blah," so know what you've submitted because they may ask you about something on your app!

Remy2 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Will South ever consider increasing the class size of the PA program? I read that UAB is increasing some each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyAlleen Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 As far as increasing the class size, (I've been pushing this issue for the last year or so) Mrs. Dunn says no no no every time. We literally don't have the space in the classrooms to add any more people. I asked about this in my interview and the faculty member I had said maybe some time in the future, but not right now.
