The writing sample is timed (I think it was about 25mins) although I can't tell you exactly what they asked, make sure you know a good amount about your resume in general, your personal story/experiences and about the differences between health care professions (PA vs MD vs NP) to be safe. Make sure your handwriting is legible and grammar is correct! Good luck! Thank you, that's so helpful I was really hoping that it wasn't like the GRE because my GRE essay prompt was about politics (I bombed it haha) Thanks, Laedya!

I will be interviewing on Oct 13th, and I will be there at the social event the night before. Curious, is anyone bringing a plus one for the social? I will be flying out from California, and taking a train from Boston to Maine; this will be my first time in both states. I am really excited to have this opportunity. I look forward to meeting you guys. And congrats! - Steph On 10/6/2018 at 11:05 AM, seshowalter said: Hey everyone! This is my first time posting on this forum.

I haven’t heard anything, but I called the other day and, I got the impression that this last interview session will likely fill the class and they’ll start with the waitlist. Again not positive but that’s what he made it sound like. Still fingers crossed! Good luck to all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think either of us is bringing another person - both of us are travelling alone. UNE said you were welcome to bring someone though! I don't see anything wrong with that. It'll be great to meet you guys! Thanks, I will be travelling with my SO. I look forward to meeting you, K8itlin, and everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy2011 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 8 hours ago, sarahvanderloop said: For people from the area, or those who have interviewed already - do you recommend flying into Boston and taking a train into Portland? Also, any recommendations on hotels? If anyone else interviewing November 3rd is interesting in sharing a hotel or something, message me! I'm flying in alone from WI and it'd be nice to have someone to stay with! Lmk Hi, I'm from the area and you can do both. I think flying might cost more, but at the same time will save you all the hassle and time. Also, There are regular buses from Boston South Station to Portland downtown. There are hotels close to the campus days inn, doubletree, laquinta(not sure what your budget is). Your best bet maybe around Maine mall area. Please ask me away if you have any questions about the area. And good luck with your interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The faculty was nice and wanted to get to know us. The kinds of questions that they asked were sort of hard to study for, so I wouldn't worry about memorizing tons of facts or anything. The program seems really great, definitely a focus on primary care. The writing sample was also not bad AT ALL. As far as another round of interviews, I have no idea. I'd maybe refer back to the post by Mvh0602. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinne Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hey everyone! Has anyone been invited to an interview session after Nov 3rd?

I'm from California, so probably why I didn't get a phone call. I was so excited; I had to read the acceptance letter 2-3 times to be sure. As for the interview, I really love the format of UNE. Like Jasmine said, it was very low stress. The interview questions were hard to prep for but definitely make sure you answer the question and point out qualities that you want them to know about you in answering those questions. Sounds intimidating but it was an enjoyable process overall. Everyone was easygoing and friendly! Also the writing sample was straightforward and not too bad. Good luck y'all!

Sam207 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Hi all! I’ve never posted in the forum before, though I’ve read posts in the past. Im wondering if anyone has been invited to interview in November or December? I just got an invite to interview Dec 1st. Anyone else? Also, I’m a local! Happy to help point people in the right directions if you have questions about the area! Sam Edited October 26, 2018 by Sam207 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jameron Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I interviewed with UNE a couple of weeks ago, the experience was very good. Right from meeting the students, the faculty and the university was all around a great experience. Portland, Maine is a lovely place the people are very friendly. I enjoyed my visit and interview, I was extended an acceptance this week and it was very humbling. I however will be declining my offer as I got admitted to a school way closer to home and I accepted. To all of you that got accepted, you’re going to a really fabulous school, and I hope that me declining the offer will open up a place for another person to get into this program. Good luck to you all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth03 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi everyone! I am interviewing this Saturday and plan to attend the social the night before - anyone else? Also was hoping I could get some advice on what to wear to this. I understand the email says casual, however, I was not sure if this meant business casual or truly just casual? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasminePA Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 @Beth03 I interviewed a couple of weeks ago and attended the social. Most people did not go with a casual look which is why I wanted to respond to your post. UNE actually has an every-day dress code of no jeans or leggings, so I'd go with a business casual look at the least. Probably slacks or khakis for guys with a polo or button-up. And for gals, I wore some straight-legged business pants and a nice top. I don't think that people would judge you too hard based on what you wear, but there was probably only two people wearing actual "casual" wear at the social I'd also like to point out that a couple people came in full suits, and they did appear a bit overdressed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
