HaveHope Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 2 hours ago, mmjpa said: Just got an interview invite for either in-person September 24th or virtual October 6th. My predicament is: I really want to do the in-person interview but I have another interview that day for a school that just went on probation. Should I do both interviews and just stick to virtual for Franklin? or should I cancel the school that is on probation and do the in-person. I have about an 8 hour drive. As someone with an outside perspective, I would tell you to take advantage of the opportunities given to you. 2 interviews already? Congrats! You won't be at a disadvantage if you attend virtually. Just make sure your computer turns on and it has a working mic then you're set. Don't turn down a potential school UNLESS you know in your heart you don't actually want to go there. (Who would spend all that money to apply to a school they don't want to attend?? Me. I did. But I knew it was my plan Z so when I got all my other interviews I gladly declined them.) Franklin is a cute little school--not on probation but still a budding program. There's disadvantages to it just like any other program. I'll end on this note though, only you can decide what each program will offer you in terms of your needs. Whether it be class size, available resources, scholarships, that feeling of home, or whatever. I personally learned the most during interviews so I wouldn't decline just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Professors are so nice. We had one group activity and an individual interview with one of the professors and a professor outside the pa program but affiliated with franklin. I know everyone says it but really just be yourself. Good luck to everyone who still has interviews coming up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA918 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Interviewed on 08/06 and got the email this morning that I was waitlisted. Hopefully things work out in October!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenHeart18 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Contemplating submitting to this school since I have money to pay for a few additional apps, does anyone think this is too close to the deadline or should I risk it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied just a few weeks ago and got an interview invite today for October. Rolling admissions means your chances are less and less as time goes on - but they are still interviewing!

Newly accepted here! They said after each interview session they will be offering seats. However, they said their last interview session often have been people interviewing for seats on the waitlist. It's important to note as well, that they said about half of their class has come from applicants pulled off the waiting list. Good luck!

nicholas96 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks @jmarsman01 for sharing your experience! I will also be attending the in-person interview on 9/24 and that helps calm my nerves a bit knowing it will be laid back. That being said, if anyone would like to start a group chat for the Septemeber in-person interview let me know! I am a California applicant flying in a couple days early so I would love to meet up and chat with potential classmates about Pre-PA experiences and get to know everyone prior our the interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatPAdude Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Good luck to everyone who has interviewed so far. A lot of seats are filled from the waitlist in the fall due to people dropping their seats last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAjourney22 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 In the email, they mentioned they're going to review the wait-list at the end of October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobThePA Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Interviewed on 9/24 and was accepted on 10/1. So excited to officially start! Good luck to everyone on the waitlist. From the sounds of it, your odds are still pretty good to get an acceptance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
