SoCaliPrePA Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 22 hours ago, Fab4PA said: I am interviewing Dec 18 too! Where do you live? How are you preparing for the interview? I live in Van Nuys. What about you? So I’m not preparing too much since I feel pretty prepared from all the practice I did for my other 2 interviews. For the other 2, I read a bunch of common pa school int questions online and from the pa school interview book, practiced how I would answer them and then did a bunch of mock interviews with friends/ family and a practicing PA. I read over my caspa application for those schools, my answers to the questions and my personal statement and I pretty much knew everything there is online about the schools, including their mission statements. Lastly, I made sure I knew PA laws from state to state and specifically laws for PA’s practicing in California. And I was accepted to one of those schools that I interviewed at, so my preparations seemed to have paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscastle888 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hello all, I received a phone call and follow up email to my Dec 18th interview. I am so excited and I'm looking forward to meeting anyone else who will be attending that day! FYI...I am not sure what GPA they look at but I have a very low overall GPA (3.16) and I am not SDA.

Funny thing is I’ve been accepted by a very highly ranked PA school my 1st round. Don’t sell yourself short. You never know what schools are (really) looking for. Yup, same here. I feel like they don’t even look at our entire application. Wasted money for two years on this program. Bonist55, would you mind sharing you accepted school? I am sure you’re in my area because we’ve applied to the same schools! Lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to 22 schools the second cycle. I was accepted to Eastern Virginia Medical School and UOP. I’m still waiting to hear back from UC Davis.

Sorry, but I have to disagree! This is my 3rd year applying with this school and I recently interviewed. Despite being rejected in previous years, I do not feel it was a waste. The school definitely recognizes that you've applied more than once and sees that you truly want to go to their school. The reason I believe that they look at your entire application is that I received an interview despite not having a stellar GPA. I have worked endlessly to have an upward trending GPA and to improve all other areas as an applicant. It can happen! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milano Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hello Guys, those who have already interviewed at Loma Linda, Where did you guys stay? Is there any places closer to school to live since I will be traveling for the interview from out of state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effiedoesyoga Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi everyone, I called this morning to see how the interviews were going... they are possibly interviewing all the way until March. They were a little held up due to the ARC-PA visit. I am still waiting to hear about an interview or a decline and to me this was good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4PA Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hello all, At my interview in December I asked them and they said they were making all final decisions around March 15 as they have interviews through February. Hopefully this will shine some light on it. I’m not planning on hearing from them until after March 15. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHau23 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I Interviewed 1/15 and was very impressed with the program, campus, faculty and current students. The interview process is definitely unique, but if you are yourself and know the PA profession, you’ll do great! I was surprisingly accepted the same day, just hours after leaving the campus, and i’m thinking this will be my top choice. Good luck to everyone else interviewing here and waiting to hear back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandradee Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I also had my interview on 1/15 and got the acceptance call later that evening! The faculty were extremely welcoming and made the interview process very comfortable. They just want to get to know you, so a piece of advice I would give is to be yourself and prepare! Good luck everyone!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
