mivhax Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi all! I'm interviewing in the AM session on September 15th - has anyone tried to reserve a room at the hotel (Stony Brook Holiday Inn Express) they provided in the email they sent us? I was wondering how much the room costs and if it would be better to just book an airbnb closeby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope all goes amazing!! Just a question for you regarding reference letters -- I currently have 2 MDs and 1 academic provider. Does Stony Brook require 1 letter from a PA? It doesn't specify on their website. Just says "Three references." If not, my application is pretty much set to be sent if a reference letter from a PA isn't mandatory! I have been trying so hard this past year to find a PA to shadow but unfortunately, the places I have reached out to don't allow it (bummer, I know!). The urgent I work for has PAs but the site I am in does not have them on staff due to low volume Any suggestions will be very much appreciated! Hi, I didn't have a PA but I had an MD and a NP as recommendations. I don't think they need specifically if they don't list it. I still got an interview in October!

For recommendation letters I did have a physician assistant write me one. If there isn't a specific requirement from Stony Brook about having a physician assistant write you a letter of recommendation then I would still apply. You just never know what these schools are looking for. Every school I have noticed has specific things they are looking for. If you fit their description to be a potential student, then that is all that matters. Goodluck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very interested in Stony Brook's program so I'm hoping they'll give me a chance to interview! Thank you for responding. If you don't mind me asking, what was your timeline between sending in your CASPA app, verification, up until hearing from the program? I'm afraid I might be too late, but of course will send it in anyway! Best of luck to you on your interview! Wishing nothing but good news and vibes your way!

Yeah I wouldn't be stressed, I think having two doctors is just as impressive. I sent my CASPA in the day it opened in April. The secondary came and I sent it in early june but it got lost and they emailed me about wanted to interview me but not having the supplemental. So I emailed them it on June 26 and they got back to me with an interview date the next day! They respond efficiently. I wish you the best of luck:) Let me know if you have any more questions I can help out with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the invitation email says, but I'd love any additional information anyone may have as well. Stony Brook is my top choice. "As a candidate, you will be required to attend a group orientation and two individual interviews. Following the group orientation, refreshments will be served and first and second year students will be available to address questions you may have about the program from the student perspective."

Hello, I understand the frustration on finding a PA to shadow. Have you tried joining the AAPA membership for Pre-PA students? It has helped me a lot with shadowing. Also, the following link has helped me increased my PA shadowing hours: https://pashadowonline.com! Hope these suggestions help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im interviewing on 10/18 and I've responded with preference for PM session, haven't received any more emails and didn't know about any tours the day prior. Just keep waiting, I'm assuming?
