I can tell you that only about 4 people in our class are SDA; we all come from different backgrounds. They do a great job of forming a good class so trust the process!

This is really appreciated! Any idea why some of us have not heard back especially if we submitted sometime in July? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombuchatrilogy Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I also submitted back in mid-July and sent in my secondary around mid-August. Just got the call for an interview invite for Nov. 20th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM2PA Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hello all, I’m also a current LLU PA student. I’ll jump on the bandwagon with Niki here and try to answer some questions of yours: pa13579: the photo size, I believe should be a passport sized photo. If you want to use the passport booth app, that can print photos out for you onto a 4x6 to save you money. For those of you wondering about waiting and pondering why you haven’t heard back yet, I ask for your patience and to trust the process. There are very few interview spots each round and I can tell you our class is composed of students from each interview group throughout last year. They run interview until early next year as well. For those of you asking about interview questions, unfortunately, they did ask us not to reveal interview questions when we interviewed. I’d say be prepared for all types of questions, but also to be yourself. You won’t necessarily know everything but show your personality and be flexible. Show your ability to communicate and your strengths. hazell034: I don’t believe I sent in my official transcripts until I was officially accepted. So I believe you can wait for that one. As for stats and comparing yourself to others, I’d suggest you be patient with that. Yes, stats are very important, but they’re also not the end-all, be-all. We have a very diverse group that is coming together quite well. I’d say we have many backgrounds with many different strengths in our class. So don’t discount yourself because your stats don’t compare to others. If you can get to the interview, it’s your time to shine. Like Bonist55 said, you never know what each school likes or is looking for either. I hope that helps. Please let me or Niki know how we can be of assistance to you. I will say the class of 2019 has really helped guide our class and I’m hoping we can do the same for the class of 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas1632 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 @SimonNewmanPA I applied in July of last year and didn’t hear back for an interview until late November. No news is good news from Loma Linda. Their last interview will be around February so you all still have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can ask, when did you submit your application ? I am just nervous because I haven’t heard anything from them and I submitted in July/August. The last thing I was advised when I called and check was that my application was in review with the review committee. I know that no news is good news for this program, unless it’s an interview call, but I’m still concerned . I know the feeling. I submitted my application on May 25th and literally just heard from them last week (besides the email on June 21st saying they'd received my supplemental). It's a gut-wrenching process but as you said, no news IS good news. Best of luck. Godspeed, -Janell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! You will always get a call before the portal changes! But once you are accepted, it will of course say "Congratulations" and you'll have a ton of tasks to complete and they will walk you through everything! If you get a rejection I don't think the site looks any different. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
