I don’t believe that submission times play a significant role (or possibly even any role) in admissions as they don’t utilize a rolling process.

KBPA88 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I got 3 interviews so far one being from Pacific. I applied to 20 schools so ensure an interview. Does anyone know the style or questions asked for the interview at Pacific? The interview day is busy and exciting! They want you to interview them as much as they are interviewing you. You will be split up into color-coded groups lead by a current student ambassador who is responsible for helping and directing you all throughout the day. Every group is rotated to different lecture halls to hear about the program details, financial aid, etc. You will also have a student panel during which you can ask us all your burning questions :) The interview itself is very relaxed. 2 interviewers per interviewee. You have the opportunity to ask them questions as well.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegPNW Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Is it just the one interview that will be conducted? Or are there multiple stages of interviewing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was complete with Pacific on 8/8 and I received an interview invite for 11/10 while it seemed like most people were still being invited to the 10/20 date. I wouldn't be discouraged as it seems like the date of submission has little to do with when an invite is extended or for which interview day. Good luck!

If you have any questions at all please feel free to reach out FYI for everyone else: the interview dates this year are October 20th, November 10th and December 1st. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hey! I noticed earlier in the thread you had mentioned that Pacific typically does two interviews in November and one in December. Are they still offering two sessions for November this year or just the one on 11/10? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham655 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Has anyone received any rejections? I am patiently waiting for a possible interview, and I am starting to lose hope after two interview sessions being sent out. I am just wondering when they will begin rejecting with only one interview date left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just out of state with a 3.9 GPA, and I am not sure how they are with out of state applicants.. but most people who have been receiving interviews with 4.0s. I am just starting to become concerned because I want an answer either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good chunk of our 2020 cohort that are from out of state so I wouldn't say that whether or not you're a resident plays a huge role in whether or not you get an interview. GPA isn't everything they look at, my overall GPA was 3.21 and my sGPA was 3.37 but my last 42 units out of 45 was 4.0 which included almost all my prereqs for PA school. Keep in mind that my stats may not reflect what their minimum cut off may be this year, but my point is that admissions really do look at your application as a whole when inviting applicants to interviews. I was a second time applicant and accepted 4 days after my interview. Waiting can be nerve wrecking but keep your spirits up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a second time applicant and accepted 4 days after my interview. Waiting can be nerve wrecking but keep your spirits up! I second this! I’m from the east coast so from my perspective distance is not a factor. I was still offered and interview and accepted. I was a first time applicant last year and my overall GPA was 3.10 with a cumulative sGPA of 3.80. I had a 3.92 for my 53 post-baccalaureate credits that fulfilled the prerequisite requirements but like scribekick said your GPA is just a piece if a much larger puzzle. Think if everything that goes into your application! Your direct patient care, your personal statement, letters of recommendation etc. then finally the actual interview itself.....they really look at it all! Our class is a spectrum of students with all different backgrounds and strengths so don’t discredit your hard work and stay optimistic :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
