I will say my first time applying Judy Dickman told me very quickly via email of my denial. Hey JD2012, I received a call on Sept 7th and was told that my application was complete and being reviewed. If I were to get invited for an interview, would I have received the invitation already? Or am I rejected and they're just taking time to let me know? Do you know how long they usually take to send out invitations after that phone call? I'm so nervous lol thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours is still recent since it's only 5 days now. you should still be in the running. I highly doubt theyve reviewed your app yet especially at this point in the cycle. The later in the cycle the higher the pile of apps they need to get through. There's no set time how long it takes to hear back or get a letter but some of mine did not come until at least Feb-March of the following year. Hang in there, waiting is part of this process, it's tough. Good luck. Edited September 12, 2018 by JD2012 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Mine went like this. Introduction - with other candidates and Judy Dickman. She will take you into a room for a writing assignment with a surprise topic, which I am sure they change each year. Once done youll go back into the lobby as each one of you is called in for the interview. You will interview with about 3-4 other candidates at the most. All of you will wait until each once is called and done. The interview is about the usual 20-30 mins. For me, it was 4 faculty for my interview, some other classmates had 2 or 3 so it may vary. Once done, there is an optional tour led by 2 students who will show you the health professions division and buildings. I believe it ran from 8-12pm. For me it was great. Quick and simple. In no way did it feel intimidating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrrac Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 How long after verification did it take to receive the supplemental? I was verified on 9/13 and I haven't gotten them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naiaalessandra Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 @JD2012 is it a group interview or individual? What do you mean by us walking with possibly 3-4 other candidates? Also how quickly after your interview did you hear back for your acceptance? My interview is October 29!! It will be my 4th PA school interview but have not had any luck in getting accepted anywhere any interview tips/advice would be greatly appreciated as Nova-Ft Lauderdale is my top school choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individual interview. I had 4 faculty at the same interviewing me, but depending on the day you can have 2 or 3 so it will vary depending on faculty schedules. I interviewed on Tuesday and got an acceptance call on the Friday RIGHT after. Best tip is to understand it is okay to be nervous, they know you're nervous, it's normal, but at the same time try to relax and be composed. PA school is a rollercoaster ride and you need to remain calm during stressful times, which is every week due to the frequency of exams along with the amount of material that needs to be covered. The best thing that helped, is to slow down and take your time to answer questions, and be yourself. Don't say what you think they want to hear. Speak truthfully. Good luck! Let me know if you have anymore questions. Edited September 24, 2018 by JD2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naiaalessandra Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 @JD2012 would you say questions see more traditional, behavioral or a combination? Thank you so much for your assistance! Hopefully 4th time is the charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day theyre just trying to make sure you're not a serial killer. They just want to get to know you. We even began the interview by talking about soccer and restaurants, just to give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
