Hi AnhPhan, I'm interviewing Oct 2nd as well! As far as Tygart Lake Lodge goes, it's outside of a small town called Grafton. It's out in the country a little bit, really pretty area. With that being said, the road from Grafton to Philippi can be curvy/mountainous in places so def add extra time to your commute if you're coming from that way!

First of all, congrats on the interview! When you get here, make sure to check in (there will be signs telling you where to go). You will have a brief orientation/meeting with the other people interviewing that day. Whoever does the talking, Mr. Moore talked at my interview, will talk about the program and allow you to ask any questions. You will also do a brief tour of the building. After this, each person will be given their individual interviews with one to two staff members. While waiting for your interview, some of us current students (if we are available) will be there to answer any questions you have for us. Kind of like you are interviewing us lol. I've had other interviews that were very stressful, but this interview day is very chill. So don't worry about it. Make sure to go the first floor and not the basement. Basically don't take any stairs when you get to the front of the building. Again congrats on the interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pager Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Received an acceptance letter last week! I am so excited and can’t wait to meet everyone soon! Good luck to everyone with future interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfish95 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I also received an acceptance letter! Still surreal but I cannot wait for May to start! I wish the best to all still waiting to hear back and in future interviews! Stay positive and keep working hard! To those who have been accepted, is there a facebook page for upcoming students yet?

RockM Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi All, I just recieved an email that my application has been put “On Hold”, which I’m not too thrilled about, BUT I guess it’s better than a straight up rejection. Can ANYONE shed some light on this? Would continuing my patient care hours help me? Anything else? I’m feeling pretty discouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancejt12 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hey everyone! If you want to learn more about the program and what a typical day is like for us students, add Alderson Broaddus University on Instagram. I will be taking over their story tomorrow!

JL311 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I just got invited for an interview a couple of days ago! I am super stoked! I will be flying out to the campus to interview next Tuesday. @Dancejt12 do you have any specific advice regarding how to prepare for the interview? (format, types of questions etc. etc.) I also checked out the insta takeover you did last week. Super helpful, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format is very chill. You get there and have a brief meeting and tour with Mr. Moore or someone else. Then you each split off and get interviewed either one-on-one or you and two staff members. The questions they asked me were your typical PA school interview questions. Why do you want to be a PA? What did you do to prepare for PA school? If you didn't choose to be a PA, what other profession would you have chosen? And more. I believe my interview only lasted around 15-20 minutes. I would definitely make sure to get there as early as possible or just give yourself more time than you would think. Showing up late is never a good first impression. Good luck tomorrow!

Dancejt12 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 By the way, if you all haven't seen the insta takeover, it can be found on the highlight section of ABU's Instagram. It contains info about the application process as well what our typical day as a student is like. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would assume that you will probably hear something either right before Thanksgiving break or right after. But, I'm not 100% sure. I know a lot of stuff has been going on here, so I think they are just a little behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
