anxiousprepa Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi all! I've applied to 9 programs, all in early June/early July. I have not yet received any rejection letters, and have only interviewed with one program, which wait-listed me. All of the schools but one have been interviewing for at least a month, and I haven't heard a peep. Basically, I'm nervous. Are there any PAs/PA students out there who were sitting ducks like me for most of the cycle before getting an interview/acceptance? Just looking for some uplifting stories! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixfire24 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well I would say that we are not yet half way through the cycle, so there is still plenty of time to get more interviews I think. I am like you however. The waiting game is killing me. I have applied to about 9 schools and have not heard back from anyone yet. Just keep your head up.

lctexas4 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I applied to 7 and have only heard back from 2, so I feel where you’re coming from! Seems like a lot of us are in that boat. Good luck this cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmready97 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I applied to 7 and have also not heard anything yet from anyone! It's killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thatgirlonabike Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I applied to 7 programs between July 20 and August 24th and just got my first interview today. The rest of the schools either haven't sent anything out yet or have only had one or two days of invites with many more scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moleashish Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Waiting game in its own ways very torturous. I remember being there last year. Hang in there. For reference, I applied to twice as many schools. My first 6 or so responses were all rejections. Then I think I got my first interview invite around late September till December time frame. So, there are plenty of time to hear back from (but I guess that won't help the anxiety level). -.- Advice, stop refreshing your emails every few minutes. Good luck.

Prepaguy23 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I applied to 11 schools the first week of June. I didn’t hear back from a school until last week, be calm these adcoms have tons of work right now between us applying and some of them teaching lectures, etc. remain calm and don’t rush the process! Sometimes hearing nothing is better than hearing back sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPath Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I applied to a lot of schools this cycle and I heard back from 4 schools so far. Been refreshing my email every minute, checking this forum, and jumping at every phone call/notification. Let's all try to keep busy with our work, school, volunteer and keep on patiently waiting. Hope everybody can hear back soon with interview invites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aware Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 During my application cycle I heard nothing from all 7 of the programs I applied to until October. I had pretty much accepted the fact that I would have to apply again even though I had yet to receive a rejection letter. Ended up getting 3 interviews (attended 2) and 2 acceptances, so just carry on with no expectations and be pleasantly surprised. I was also put on the waitlist for an interview that dragged out for months until I was officially rejected lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
