I’m a first year and helped with interviews on the first day. I believe Tara was in my group! :) and to everyone else still waiting...don’t freak out! I interviewed early like you guys, but didn’t hear back until late January. I’m a firm believer that you will end up where you’re meant to be and in the right timing! Enjoy the holidays and be patient. I know it’s easier said than done. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks for the encouragement!! :) it’s so great to hear that you interviewed early and were accepted in Jan! Definitely gives me hope to stay positive! Merry Christmas!! And congrats @dreambigworkharder! Best of luck to you!!! Their interview was a great experience!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonSooYun Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I received an e-mail today offering me an interview and scheduled this for Saturday, January 27th. Definitely cried at work with my boss about what a humbling experience this journey is. Cheers! Would love to hear from all of any interview tips/recommendations :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie16 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Congrats to everyone who already got accepted! I just received my invitation to interview in January! Does anyone who already went through the process have any tips/advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer0515 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 @katie16 @SonSooYun congrats on receiving interviews! I interviewed earlier this month and it was a great experience! Very relaxed and genuine compared to other programs! Honestly I was definitely overthinking it and too nervous because they really just want to get to know who you are as a person outside of academics. I truly loved their process and can’t wait to hear back!! Just relax and enjoy the day, the pressure is non existent!! Best of luck! Hope to be future classmates!

dreambigworkharder Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 @SonSooYun I definitely cried multiple times, such a humbling and amazing journey so far. Good luck @SonSooYun and @katie16 on your interviews. I can't wait to see campus and I've heard such great things about the interview process.

It’s easy to self doubt and start comparing yourself to others. We all have our own journies. Think about what makes you stand out among your peers. Be genuine :) Good luck!

Huskylover Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well, just got the official rejection email. I wish the best of luck to all of you who are still going through the interview process! This whole application process is one heck of a roller coaster ride but I wouldn't have it any other way.

hustleforthePAC Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 My interpretation: it means we're great candidates, we qualify for an interview at their awesome program out of the thousands of applicants but because of the high volume of highly qualified candidates, we will be on standby until a candidate scheduled for an interview drops / gets accepted elsewhere /decides not to attend after rsvping we will be called next based on mbkus prospective pre pa students. That's seems to be the beauty of mbku they are letting us in the loop whereas other programs will send a last minute interview invite. If anyone in oc wants to meet up and do some mock interviews while we wait let me know! I've been doing mock interviews with friends before their interviews, they all got in so anyone reading this let me know if you wanna bring each other some luck with some work for that acceptance!!! 12 minutes ago, ShazzPA said: I was also put on the waitlist for interview list and was wondering the same thing.

SunnyPA Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hello all!! I received the email stating I’d know about my interview status by the middle of December and I noticed some of you got replies. I haven’t received any email. So stressful. Anyone else in the same boat? Thanks!! Hope you’re having fun during the holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke16 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hello everyone, I was given an interview 12/20 for the 1/27 slot and I didn't apply until right before the cut off date. I believe there is still a lot of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2CAMStoPA Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hello Everyone., Just wanted to offer some hope and words of encouragement. Don't give up hope! I applied super late to pretty much all the schools I applied to - MBKU 10/13. Received the interview invite 12/20 and scheduled for 1/26. MBKU makes 2 interviews. Interviewed at Yale in November, ultimately rejected. Of 9 schools applied to, rejected outright from most (or haven't heard back and don't expect to). I had already pretty much resolved myself to having to apply next cycle when I got the email. Since most people are curious about stats for those who are offered an interview: GPAs are barely over the minimums, although respectable as a post-bacc. Hard to raise a 2.57 undergrad GPA, but 10 years later...! Other numbers are pretty good. sGPA: 3.01 post-bacc (100+ semester hours): 3.80, 3.93 last 60 hours cGPA: 3.08 post-bacc: 3.85 GRE: 319 (161VR, 158QR), 5.5 PCE: ~1800 hours Army medic training (4 years enlisted) HCE: ~3000 hours Army medic & EMT-Paramedic (training in the Army, haven't worked as a Paramedic outside the military yet) Research: ~6300 hours In Vitro diagnostic assay design R&D, Stem cell research intern, Stem cell Research Associate focused on neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders (mainly Parkinson's, Bipolar Disorder) So basically, I applied late, GPAs suck (unless the school cares more about recent work than overall numbers), have been rejected by all but 2 schools. I hoped for the best and expected the worst - even my pre-health adviser who is a PA didn't think I'd get any interviews this year. Keep the faith. I have always felt that things happen for a reason, and when they are meant to. If I don't get in anywhere this year, I'll get more experience, shadow more PAs, add more volunteer hours, etc. and apply again EARLY this time! Good luck to everyone still waiting for some good news! Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anahhita Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi everyone Today I received an email from Marshall stating that I was placed on waitlist for interview. I was wondering if anyone else on waitlist received any updates on their status today. I received one email on 12/20 and one today both have the same contents. Thanks.
