I hope you hear back soon it's still early in the application process! At least you made it through the first step... they are interested! From what everything I've read it's important to "be yourself" ...They want to see honesty and sincerity! Wishing you the best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have a high amount of PCE, may I ask if this is your first cycle applying or have you been working towards PA for a while?

PAsAreAmazing Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 @kristinaRDMS Thanks!! Yeah we did a lot of things in the CHOP network both in research, shadowing and administratively so it was a great experience. This is my first time applying!! I was in the field for 5 years and realized that I wanted to be a PA. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually an ultrasound technologist and have been working for 6 years before I realized I wanted to make the switch also.. hopefully Arcadia likes the fact we come with a backgrounds rooted in medicine. I find your internship fascinating because patients we scan that have pregnancy complications are frequently sent to CHOP and then we rarely know the outcome. Very neat opportunity! Are you interviewing for the DE campus? -because I would love to hear more about your internship if we ever get to meet! .....still waiting to see if I even get an interview!!!

Are you interviewing for the DE campus? -because I would love to hear more about your internship if we ever get to meet! I think the most important thing is that we have patient care experience. Experience providing services that show we know how to work with a patient and give them services. It's cool we have similar experiences!! I live in Philly so Glenside would be easier I think... honestly I never thought of the DE campus as an option because I didn't know about it!! But I like Willmington! Yes maybe we can meet!

I like talking to like-minded people Yes, that I guess is more what I meant, not even necessarily "medicine" but "treating people". So I guess that answers my question.. you'll be interviewing at Glenside.. well I wish you luck! And who knows maybe if we both survive this grueling processes we will run into each other as students of Arcadia! From what I understand both glenside and christiana do the cadaver lab at TJ in philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone else here who's submitted later than that and is feeling nervous, I'm thinking (hoping) they just haven't gotten to any apps beyond very early June yet. Just my two cents of course... keeping my fingers crossed for an invite also! Anyone submitted/verified beyond June 1 here who's heard something? Anyone verified in June hear anything yet?????

PA135 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Anyone interview at Arcadia before/have heard what they're looking for and how their interviews are? I am starting to prepare and this is my first time applying so very new to interviews. Looking for any tips! Pretty nervous. Thanks so much!

When were you officially verified by CASPA, if you don't mind my asking? And for which campus is the 8/2 session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
