Guest thatgirlonabike Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Well last year the invites went out on Aug 25th but the deadline this year isn't until Sept 1 with interviews Oct 8, 9 & 10. I wonder how long after the deadline they will send out interviews. Does anyone have any insider information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanmitchell7467 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I guess we are officially past that September 1st deadline. Has anybody heard anything? Keep us all updated if anyone hears anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannam Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Can anyone elaborate on the accreditation status that UNC's PA Program has? How is it different than continued accreditation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thatgirlonabike Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 @hannam This will only be the third class to matriculate to they have provisional accreditation for a certain number of years until they have enough data to receive the continued one.

hannam Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 @thatgirlonabike Okay thanks that is what I thought. So what effect if any would that have on you as a graduate of the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thatgirlonabike Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 @hannam I'm editing this post because I was in the wrong thread. There was another discussion I was part of about a different school that was on probationary accreditation. This is not the same thing at all. ALL new programs are provisional for a number of years until they have time to collect enough data for reevaluation. It won't affect us or the current students at all.

pursuitofPA Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 As a NC native, I think considering UNC has a well established school of medicine with a wealth of other allied health programs, a lot of this is simple policy and procedure. UNC is also the only state supported hospital system which gives them plenty of options for clinical sites. I’m not overly concerned but that’s just my opinion. Nonetheless, good luck to all! I shared a link to the ARC-PA.

mxray Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I thought we would hear something this week regarding interviews since it was a month out. However, with the hurricane this week and the school cancelling classes, I'm sure that's why we haven't heard anything yet. Maybe we'll hear something this coming week!

AKPA89 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hi everyone, I am a current second-year student at the UNC Chapel Hill Physician Assistant program. I know that the faculty is still reviewing applications and decisions for interviews should be going out soon. If you guys have any questions you need answering feel free to reach out and ask. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be curious to know if it was the same number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankiealilye Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It was the number! I called it back and a person answered, which was super awkward lol! She said she was going to call me back tomorrow, but I got an interview!!! It was a 919 area code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number that called me was 919 as well... but I live in Raleigh so really, it could have been anyone! I guess we’ll see tomorrow. So happy for you!!

Frankiealilye Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It was pretty hilarious and I apologized about 5 times for calling her back so late lol!!! Thank you and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chellesk Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Congrats y’all! They said they would send an email with links of interview times and we could choose our times. It was a 919 number! Hopefully some of you hear today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCCathLab Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I got the call also around 8pm last night. Certainly didn't expect to receive that call that late. I almost didn't answer my phone either, thinking it was a spam/robo caller. See you guys in a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know they call so late - I'll keep a look out and actually answer my phone if I do get a call. Congrats to everyone on the interviews!!

Typically yes, they send the invites out on the same day. Congratulations to all that got an interview. Best interview advice I can give, is make sure you can bring something to the interview that they can remember you about, do your homework about the PA profession and the UNC PA program, and practice your interview questions and answers so when they ask you those generic interview questions your answers are concise and composed. If you need any help with interviewing preparation, feel free to reach out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
