la3241 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Just got an email that I’m waitlisted. Not what I was hoping for but it’s good to have some answer so I’m not so anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmoon Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I also got an acceptance call! Congrats to everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctpendley4ua Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Those that received acceptance. Are you still fielding offers from other programs? And did they give you a decision deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hopefulpastuden0519 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know how long the waitlist is? Or how many people get onto a waitlist typically? Also do people get denied from programs after the interview? Edited November 3, 2018 by hopefulpastuden0519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how many people get onto a waitlist typically? Also do people get denied from programs after the interview? I was wondering this too. I think UAB's waitlist is like 20 people? Some years, they said that all of the people get accepted off the wait list, while others, not so many. I guess it depends how many people choose to go to other programs or just decline the offer. I'm thinking Samford's waitlist could potentially be longer since they're a new program and might anticipate people choosing to go elsewhere if accepted. Yes, unfortunately people do get denied even after the interview since they interview way more people than there are spots (I think Samford interviewed 100 people for 36 spots, if I did the math correctly). Typically, schools send out letters in the mail for rejection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first year doing anything like this so I don’t know much about how the selection process works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollivander Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I got rejected without an interview as an in-state applicant that lives in Birmingham whereas I'm receiving several interviews elsewhere. That doesn't make sense to me. Were most of you in-state residents or out-of-state residents? Did they seem to favor grades more than other aspects of your application? I've tried to call and email the program but I seem to never get a response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to call and email the program but I seem to never get a response. Sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I didn't receive an interview from UAB this year even though I've interviewed there previously and am an in-state applicant, good stats, etc. From what I can tell, the majority of the people at the interview were in-state. Maybe 3-4 were out of state. To me, they didn't seem to favor grades but emphasized experience as well. However, they could have made a decision on who to give an interview to in the first place based on grades maybe? Good luck with your other interviews! Hoping we all get in somewhere.

That would just be setting unrealistic expectations, as there's no possible way for 64 people to all get accepted off a wait list when there are only 36 spots. (I do hope we all get into PA school, though!) I wish they would clarify the number of people on the wait list so we would know whether we have a chance of getting in or not.

That would really stink if they waitlisted everyone they interviewed....surely there were some people (I hate to say it because I want everyone to be accepted) that were rejected after the interview?

CityCityPA Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) At my Trevecca interview yesterday I met a student who was not accepted or placed on the wait list at Samford. So I believe they did “reject” people after the interviews. I asked the Samford program director if we were allowed to know our place on the wait list and he said no Edited November 14, 2018 by CityCityPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the Samford program director if we were allowed to know our place on the wait list and he said no Thank you to both of you for the info! That gives me some hope that I may get off the wait list. It also looks like UAB has sent out their acceptance calls, so maybe that will open up a few seats at Samford as well. Good luck to everyone, and I hope we all become successful physician assistants one day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krose14 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Has anyone else confirmed their spot at Samford? I am super excited for the opportunity to be a member of the first PA class at Samford! I can't wait to get to know all my future classmates! I hope those who are waiting will get answers as people may be giving up their spot today! Edited November 20, 2018 by krose14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
