Another follow up question though...you said you were in contact with an admissions coordinator? I know we're not supposed to call or email, at least for the Knoxville campus that is. How did you contact them and would you recommend me attempting anyways? I'd love to have an update but I don't want to do something I'm not supposed to or bother anyone! Not being allowed to contact them must being something new. But after I submitted my application I would intermittently email the admissions coordinator my patient care hours and what I was doing to strengthen my application. The response I would get was usually one word sentences.. I didn’t care because I was trying to solidify a spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the day starts around 8 am but you can show up 20-30 minutes early to mingle with first year students. You walk in and receive your name tag. They had about 30-32 students interviewing. They had coffee and Einstein bagels for everyone to enjoy. At 8 everyone goes to a lecture room and all the students stand up and introduce themselves, say where they are from, where they went to school and what they majored in. After this, the faculty all introduce themselves and tell us where they came from and what they studied in. Then all the first year students introduce themself. At this point everyone breaks into smaller groupers. You will know your group by the letter on your name tag. For my interview day they had groups A-H. All those small groups tour the facility with the first year students. Next groups A-D went into the group interviews while groups E-H took a medical terminology quiz and completed a survey. I was told this quiz does not effect admission. After the groups switch. My group interview consisted of two other applicants and four staff memebers with one being the dean. They asked standard questions and just really wanted to hear honest answers. Some questions were directed at one person but others were asked and it was up to us to decide who answered first. I think it would be beneficial to speak up because it is easier speaking first than building off someone’s answers. Also I think it is important to give whoever is speaking your attention, even if it is another applicant talking while you are trying to form an answer in your head. This lasted around 45 minutes but feels much faster. Lastly they ask if you have any questions, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A QUESTION! Everyone then gathered back up and we had catered lunch and got to continue chatting with first year students. While we are eating all the professors gather to discuss the students. After lunch was done we meet in a room they called the holding tank. One by one, in no particular order, students are called back for the individual interview. I was 5th to last to be called. This isn’t really an interview or at least mine was not. They first asked about feedback and what could have made the day better. After they let you know if you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected. They will give you feedback about areas of concern or just anything that could make you more well rounded applicant. Also after you get this news you get to leave immediately! Best advice is just to realize that every single person there is nervous. Just try to let your personality come through because clearly you are qualified if you were invited to the interview. Good luck!! Wow thank you so so so much! This was very helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accepted during the January interview and haven't really heard anything after paying my deposit, is anyone else in the same boat? I have also been trying to get in touch with someone from financial aid and have been unsuccessful with that so if anyone has a good contact please let me know! Also would anyone be interested in starting a new thread or group of some sort with others who have been accepted to the Knoxville campus?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received an update today, they're waiting until Saturday before continuing reviews of applications to see how many of those who have been offered a seat accept it. It's up to faculty whether or not they'll accept people off the alternate list following Saturday or if they'll conduct more interviews.

The Director of PA Admissions is the one that emailed me my interview offer. I simply accepted it and thanked her and that was all the further we corresponded. Sorry!

You can email updates for Knoxville campus to pa_program@southcollegetn.edu which is what I've been doing with updates in hours and things like that.

I am also interested in starting a group of accepted students! I've been accepted for this fall at Knoxville as well! It is a little hard to get ahold of someone. If you have already submitted your vaccination record and health packet from your acceptance packet you should be good to go. They will reach out to everyone in June with your background check information and for financial aid so make sure you fill out your fafsa before then. We should totally start a group!

e46PA Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I remember one of the 1st year students was saying there is a FB group, or that they would put one together for incoming students to connect.

AnnaG Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hi! I was wondering if a current student could tell me what text book you used for the anatomy course? I’m trying to brush up on my anatomy and thought that might be a good resource. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgoldenberg94 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Has anyone not heard back at all from them? I'm assuming at this point that I'm denied but I applied last July at this point and haven't head from them in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
