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! Couldn’t agree more. It’s very frustrating. The PA school application process should be more standardized like most other areas in the medical field are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Super helpful thank you!

Strickle Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Got my acceptance on Monday, but I also got into OHSU and I live in Portland, so I'm going to send a rejection to Duke, so at least one spot is opening up! Good luck to everyone!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikkariya Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hello! Is there anyone here interviewing Monday 12/3? I'm thinking about getting a little meet-up scheduled for Sunday evening to get some jitters out if anyone's interested. -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25fox Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 To any who were interviewed, was there much of a time to express anything about yourself or your application, or was it directly a Q&A with the interviewer? I've noted that many interviews are crunched for time and very rarely do you get time to say much more than what they ask you and you're rushed off to another portion of the interview. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, thank you all! I interviewed with two faculty members and it was mostly Q&A, with not a lot of room to elaborate outside of the questions. I don’t feel like they really got to know me or my personality when compared to other interviews I’ve had. However, this could also vary depending on who interviews you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, thank you all! I felt like I set the pace during my interview sessions to some degree. A lot of the questions were somewhat open ended. Some I chose to answer very succinctly and others I decided to take the time to expand on, allowing me to hit some points that felt important to me. Use your time wisely. If you can answer something thoughtfully with fewer words, do so. It will leave time later if you need it. You won’t have tons of time with your interviewers, that’s just kind of how this process goes. With that being said, I walked away feeling that I had enough time to express myself to the interviewers and I felt that they had an idea of who I am as a person. I attended an interview for a different program that had three 45 minute group interview sessions. I spent significantly more time with faculty and staff during that interview. I felt much more rushed and at the end of the day I felt completely unseen. Edited November 29, 2018 by hmtpnw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it was not until January that I received my rejection last year despite applying early. Duke is one of the few programs I know of that offers specific feedback on applications, although its not available till March I believe. All I could discern from that conversation was that I was competitive but I guess not quite competitive enough to receive an interview. So there must be a stack of us on a desk labeled as "back-up" interviews in case the waitlist clears or gets too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did they mention a final interview date? The email said "As of today, we have filled all of our interview slots for this admissions cycle. However, the Admissions Committee was impressed with your credentials and would like to offer you a slot on our interview waitlist. Historically, we have interviewed quite a few people from this list. If a slot opens up, we will call and/or e-mail you with a specific date and ask you to confirm immediately. At times, we may call you with only one day’s notice. Please keep this in mind when accepting or declining your space on this list. " So no mention of final interview dates. But based on the previous years it seems like the last interview dates for Duke is around the middle/end of January. Hopefully, it is the same this year.
