At least now they updated their websites and things are more clear... but when I was applying it was still a mess - unless you from phili you wouldn't know what is the difference and etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pk, The day is set up very well... they did a great job moving us from interviews, to a campus tour, to Q&A. I'd say the interview itself was 30 minutes, where we met with a staff member and a current student. The questions themselves were very comprehensive, but nothing that you need to really prepare for and rehearse. It's more about getting to know who you are and why you want to be a PA and what you'd be like in PA school and afterwards. I felt like I was listened to and am excited about the results!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that I wasn't really clear on, but I know that they take people from their undergraduate program that matriculate in. Maybe someone else can best answer that question.

So I don't think you'd be able to properly coordinate that. But I'm sure you could show her around afterwards 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had two interviews and they were entirely different. One was a more conventional-style interview. They asked your standard PA questions. The other was super casual and we basically had conversations to get to know each other. Please do share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I feel comfortable sharing the actual content of the interview, in regard to the actual questions that were asked. I will say that they had a certain formula and they would switch back and forth from one person to the other asking me questions. And I would say that more than half of the questions were typical "PA school" questions. I think it's more important to prepare for yourself your own convictions of why you want to be a PA and why you'd make a great PA student. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I wouldn't want any inside information that would advantage me and give me a better position for an interview. That sounds awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAsAreAmazing Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 So-- After going on several interviews, I feel like it would be very valuable if we had a philly pre-PA meet up, where we could discuss strategies, what we have thought of the cycle so far, and any tips to help each other. I say this because when we meet in the interview environment we are confined to the nervousness of the day and also the perception of the staff members. Maybe we can even talk current and past PA students to join us. So I'm wondering if anyone is interested in helping me organize this. A tentative date for it would be September 6th, 7th or 8th. Please message if you're interested in helping. Thank you. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk325 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Interviewed at the NJ campus yesterday and it was one of the most laid back interview styles I have seen thus far. I THINK I did great, but guess you never know until you hear back. Brooke (the coordinator) said it could be as early as next week that we find out our admission status! Fingers crossed! Waiting, in my opinion, is the hardest part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
