mattsully Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'm interviewing next week, and my invitation said that spouses and partners are welcome for the morning info sessions and the luncheon... those who have interviewed, did many/any applicants have a spouse or partner come with them?

If it were me, I wouldn’t. The morning info sessions are detailed presentations about curriculum with faculty and staff. I felt like it was a ton of information to digest and I was trying to focus on taking it all in, asking intelligent questions and interacting with fellow interviewees. I personally wouldn’t want any kind of distraction on interview day. You’re being watched all day. It’s definitely a low pressure, low stress setting, but faculty and staff are making observations about you throughout the whole day. I wouldn’t want to spend any of my energy interacting with a spouse/partner or fielding their questions about things. But you have to do what’s right for you!

I brought my partner as did one other interviewee. My partner felt like he was out of place and a little uncomfortable. He did say he would go again because he liked having the info about the school. He is not medical at all and I liked the fact that he has a better understanding about PA school in general and what we are getting ourselves into.

That's good to know, though I'm sorry he felt a little uncomfortable! I hope the both of you have gotten good news. Did your partner leave after the lunch, or did he stick around for the whole day with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thatgirlonabike Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) @mattsully. On the waitlist. Still holding out hope. Good luck to you! SOs have to leave after lunch. He went to a coffee shop and did some work and then we went out to a bar and then dinner with a couple folks from the interview.

We had one spouse attend our interview day. Although their partner seemed comfortable, I felt it was somewhat awkward. I wouldn't bring anyone honestly. As some of the others said, it is a lot of information and you want to have your sole focus be on the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLAX9 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 In last years cycle it looks like they interviewed as late as January. I'm in the same boat I submitted pretty early on and I haven't heard anything yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accepted from the first group of interviews and haven’t heard anything. I wanted to get more information about financial aid and when I inquired I was sent this link which I found helpful: https://medschool.duke.edu/node/2745. The information is located under Prospective Student/Financial Aid Presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsully Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Waitlisted from the 11/14 interview. Do people typically respond to the email saying they're waitlisted? Does that even get read if you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't send requests for this until they are done with interviews. If I remember correctly from last year, it was sometime in February or March when we got the email from Wendy, and then we had until June to get it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I got an email that I was accepted last week! I was on the waitlist for just over 1 month. To everyone on the waitlist- there’s still hope! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To everyone on the waitlist- there’s still hope! Well that's reassuring! So after receiving the wait list e-mail, did you receive any further information regarding how they decide who gets accepted from the wait list prior to the end of the interview cycle or did you just receive the acceptance e-mail out of the blue a month later? Per the wait-list e-mail: "At the conclusion of our interview year, all applicants remaining on the wait list will receive a ranking." Based on this, it doesn't sound like they notify the candidates on the wait list of their spot/priority until the end of interviews (which looks like end of January from the previous years' threads on this forum).

AspiringPA15 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Got accepted yesterday from the 11/13 interview!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPursuit Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I am confused as to why some of us have applied early and still haven’t heard a thing back. At this point i would rather see a rejection and mark it off My list. It’s starting to get super late in the process. Especially, for those like myself who have a program acceptance that starts in January. Regardless I’m very excited for those who have received acceptance! Congratulations! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
