KindnessMatters Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Heard nothing today. Probably will call tomorrow. Congrats to every one and best of luck!! I'll probably reapply :) I really want to be a PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laferri2 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yeah, given that there were no invites given today, I am guessing they will have a limited second wave of invites based on whoever declines their invitations. Hope my other interview goes well. I may have to give up on WSU, I have a 320 GRE, 14000 hours of high-level PCE, a 3.9 GPA with last-60 waiver, and a 3.9 prerequisite GPA. Can't really do anything to improve those numbers. I don't really see how I don't even get an interview but maybe there is a weakness in my application I didn't spot. Good luck to all who got their invites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had rejections for the past 2 years from almost everything I've applied to ? Ain't no thang. In the future I'm going to have a collage of every rejection letter I've received :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotoPAschool Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Got my rejection too. I think I didn't have as many hours of shadowing and volunteer in the last 2 years as they wanted because other than that my stat are pretty good :(. Still have a chance at Detroit Mercy :D Congrats to everyone who got interviews, and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to all who got their invites! That's so weird..it sounds like you have perfect stats! You gotta be missing a requirement to be rejected...you can call them and ask them what was the reason for the rejection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really do anything to improve those numbers. I don't really see how I don't even get an interview but maybe there is a weakness in my application I didn't spot. Good luck to all who got their invites! I had relatively similar stats (318 GRE with a 5.0 in writing, 3.98 last 60 credits GPA, 3.97 prerequisite GPA, 3500+ PCE hours) and was rejected last year. Wayne is very particular during their application process and actually awards points based on whether or not you are a member of AAPA, MAPA, pre-PA club, and for your community service (for which they only offer points up to 50 hours in the past two year). I also highly suspect that my personal statement was a big reason why I didn't get an interview last year, as I had treated it like a formality and it didn't have much substance. Over the past year, the only things different on my application numbers-wise were retake statistics (which I only retook because it was over 10 years old -- I had an A- the first time, brought it up to an A), and I accumulated more PCE hours at my job. That's it. Other than that, I joined AAPA, MAPA, and made sure my volunteer hours were properly documented this time (they were apparently improperly documented last time). Oh, and I definitely completely overhauled my personal statement. Hope that helps. Good luck! Don't give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endeavor Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just got the email of interview time confirmation, the Interview is roughly 2 and 1/2 hours long, and consists of an interview with PA faculty member, community PA, and a writing prompt. I will be there Thursday at 9:30am. Good luck to you all, and can't wait to meet you guys! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, is it just one interview with both the community PA and the PA faculty member sitting in on the same interview, or is it two individual interviews? How long is the actual interview itself? I imagine that the writing prompt takes up a considerable amount of time, and I also have to imagine that there is a tour of the facilities and introduction to the program, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabePA11 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 i had interview last year and received a rejection email. The writing is about 30 min. 2 rounds of interviews (one round w/ faculty member, other round w/ community pa). They separate applicants into groups, so the order depends on which group you are in. There's no tour of the facilities, but had about 30-40min of introduction of the program and had time to ask questions to the current students. The writing prompts are different for the thursday's and friday's interview. I also heard that the writing part is to see if you can just write. Good luck everyone! I really wish to get in this year.

Do you remember which questions they asked you last year? Any curveballs? Why do you think you were rejected? is the writing prompt typed or written by hand? Good luck everyone!

wannabePA11 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I wish I still remember the questions they asked me. I don't remember the specific questions, but they asked standard questions. Why pa? why wayne state? etc. Since I'm one of the older applicants, they asked me why I wanted to change the career. I think they asked me about 5 questions. You need to write an essay by hand. I was very nervous during the interview. I was sweating, and was not able to say the words I prepared for. I knew that I would get rejected. I know it's hard for some people, but be confident!
