biodrewsky Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hi everyone! I just got an email saying that I have moved on to the next round but does not indicate what that round is. Did everyone else get this email and does it mean that I’m in line for an interview? It was a very short email with no additional details.

If you are selected for an interview, you will get another email saying you’ve been selected for an interview and the details will come shortly. Then, they send you another email several days later with specific details (date and schedule etc) good luck!

eskeetit Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Good afternoon everyone. Today i received an interview invitation for November 6 for Rutgers PA program. I was verified by the 1st week of July via CASPA, they confirmed my supplemental information in July 13. I recieved the invitation via email and saw the itinerary in terms of the interview schedule. I am part of the last group of individuals conducting the group interview that day, and I was wondering what one does during that 2 hour wait? (interview are from 10:30am to 12:30pm, mine is at 12:30pm)? Edited September 18, 2018 by eskeetit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they've changed the format, after the morning introduction & school tour you will sit around with a faculty member and current student(s) where they will discuss more about the program and answer any questions you may have. I was also part of the 12pm interview group and I remember starving by the end since I had breakfast at 6am that morning, so make sure to eat up or bring a snack with you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastudent96 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hey everyone! I ended up applying to Rutgers towards the deadline because I was going back and forth whether or not I would be a competitive applicant. So, I just wanted to share that I received an invitation to interview at Rutgers in November! I wanted to write this to tell others that my stats were not as great as those posted on here, including subpar GPA, lower PCE hours, etc. I truly feel my personal statement and my experiences played a major factor on boosting my application enough to be invited to interview! Best of luck to those interviewing, and to those who haven't heard back yet please don't give up hope and stay positive! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
