How is first year of PA school going for you so far? I suggest reviewing the program's website and being familiar with their mission. For the interview, I know some programs follow different styles (MMI, Group, Individual), but for SFU it was individual based with the program faculty - review the basic interview questions you can find online - why you want to be a PA, why would you choose SFU etc...I felt my interviews were relaxed and were more of a conversation so they could get to know you as a person. We just finished our summer semester last week and I am definitely enjoying our break! Feel free to personal message me if you guys have any specific questions about the program or interview day - I know how stressful the whole process can be.

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.

brooks23 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hey all, Looks like ejw50 has it covered, but if anyone needs another resource, let me know. I was also accepted as a graduate transfer back in 2015. Graduated in 2017 and have been practicing since then. Happy to answer questions or give advice on the program, having recently completed it myself. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abush27 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hey Everyone, I just booked all of my travel!!!! I am so excited I am actually flying in from out of the country for the interview lol. I will be flying in to Pittsburgh then flying to Altoona via Southern Airways. Renting a car for a few days. If any of you are planning on meeting up, I will be in Altoona on October 10. October 12 is around the corner. Best wishes everyone, AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes everyone, AB I was supposed to be in Altoona on Oct 10, but now I have another interview on Oct 11 at Thomas Jefferson University in NJ. I will be in Altoona on Oct 11, but I won’t get in until 9:00pm! I’m down to meet up after to see where we are going for the interview. I’m a little worried because by the time I get into Altoona I won’t have time to rent a car, so I’m hoping to Uber to campus as soon as I get there! Hopefully someone is able to meet up with me, so that I know where I’m going! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I am down to give ya a ride to campus on interview day and then take you back where you need to on the way back from the interview. It'll be difficult to get a rental and make it on time to campus I think. You just let me know, its a non-issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
