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. I am totally in support of this. Great idea! I live in the area and I'd be happy to help organize. I am off on September 7th, if we can make that work. I don't interview until October 9th though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agreed! Yesterday was my first interview for a PA program ever, but I never felt uneasy, except for being second-to-last to arrive for my interview even though I was 25 minutes early. But it worked out fine! I also feel like I did well. It was a great conversation and everyone truly just wanted to make you feel comfortable and get to know you! I forgot to grab a water bottle and when I sat down for the interview portion, my interviewer pulled a bottle out from under her desk and said she remembers how nervous she was, it was super sweet and defiantly instantly made me feel so comfortable! Everyone was always so nice and excited to meet you, the students answering questions gave tips and were very honest, and I honestly never felt crippled with nerves even though I almost did before leaving, haha. Good luck to everyone else who interviewed! The wait is going to kill me... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGrabo Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi guys . I have a question for all who feels comfortable to answer it and already have had an interview. What do you think makes the PA program at TJU unique ? Why did you choose this program over another if you had a choice? Does this program practice volunteer help as a part of its curriculum ? thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emrlat Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Did anyone recently receive an email titled “thanks for requesting more information”? I am assuming since quite a few people have already been offered interviews that that is their way of nicely saying that I am not being offered an interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received this email and was thinking the same thing so I emailed them back and asked if I was missing anything from my applications, etc. I applied to all three campuses and have an interview at cc. They responded with.. "Thank you for contacting graduate admissions. East Falls and NJ campuses are still reviewing PA applications and will be in touch if you are invited for an admissions interview. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and please let us know if you have any questions. -Jaimie" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthingspa Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Received an email today at noon saying I was accepted to East Falls. I will most likely decline my seat as I am waiting to hear back from another program. They said I have 14 days from the time of acceptance to send in my $2,000 deposit. Good luck to everyone! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amt5672 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hello everyone! For those of you who received interview invites for Center City, did you also received a physical letter in the mail? I’m worried mail pertaining to CASPA/PA schools is getting sent to my old address even though I signed up for mail forwarding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! do you mind telling me from what kind of email address you received your acceptance? On interview day they said the acceptance would come to our emails THROUGH CASPA and that its more than likely to go to spam or junk!
