Bonist55 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I applied about a week ago and just got an interview invite for March 1. Looking forward to it! I'm coming all the way from Sacramento, CA. Any recommendations on where to stay and things to do in the area? Also, if anyone can provide a general idea of what time the interview day concludes that would be greatly appreciated so I can start booking flights! Thanks in advance!

Tyler514063 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Does anyone know, if the interviews go until March 1, could all the spots be full by then? I just don’t understand why they would have more people come if they were all full and knew they would all be waitlisted. Just not sure how the interview process works with PA school.

PADreaming23 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 On 1/16/2018 at 0:04 PM, Almortega said: So you are actually split into two groups. One group interviews while the other tours and then they switch. There is also a 30 minutes essay with the group that is touring. There is a long presentation about Lipscomb and tuition in the morning so that should give you time to warm-up to the school. They are so so nice so you probably do not need to tour first to feel welcomed at Lipsomb. Can you give us an idea of the essay topic??

Honestly, you have way more information about the interview than anyone who actually went. If you have an interview you have what it takes to make it through the interview. It’s really not fair to ask for information that other people that are trying to get in don’t have. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for saying this. I don't think it's good sportsmanship to share interview information. However, it IS good sportsmanship to share the general itinerary info (like what time we can expect the day to be over) so students flying in can purchase their flights early ?

It’s definately not ethical for me to disclose the essay topic. However, I was told by someone that PA interview essays are really just there to make sure that you are able to write. Especially since lipscomb did not ask for the GRE, they don’t have a writing score that they can compare your personal statement to. Schools have no way of knowing if an applicant wrote their own personal statement and the standard 30 minute essay is really a good marker for that.

Also I’m just disclosing information that I think is ethical to disclose meaning nothing that will affect the way you interview. Also please do not look at the PA interview as a competition, it’s really unhealthy to do so. Lipscomb is really looking for people who are a good fit for their programs. Their decision goes beyond the interview day as well, meaning they will incorporate your entire application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindnessMatters Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just a tip: If you're under 25 renting a car at the airport can get ridiculously expensive so I suggest checking out the app Turo and try and find a $25 off code online. There's a lot of good options on there for renting cars in Nashville! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like 8am-2:30pm. This is directly from the interview info email they sent out: "Check-in for the day begins at 8 am Central Time. We will offer a light continental breakfast and the day will include a welcome session, information on financial aid, program information, faculty interviews, a tour, etc. You will receive a personalized schedule of the day in your welcome folder. The day concludes with lunch where you may ask any remaining questions of our faculty and staff. You can expect to depart campus by 2:30 pm." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I received this email and got an interview offer less than a week after that email. Lipscomb works quickly so keep an eye on your email.
