I forgot to ask if it's just the half hour interview or if there's a tour or some other component as well? Just trying to plan out my day I think just the interview.

AA90a Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Does anyone know how many people are being interviewed total and how many spots they have? I already interviewed and I noticed that they had stacks of applications. I don't know if that was for everyone they were interviewing that day or overall.

They interview about 200 people and accept 50 that are not from the 5-year track. Since it’s not rolling admin, they interview everyone and then start acceptances.

MelissaW83 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Oh wow thank you for that info. Do youknow if that is 50 between the two year and three year track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard they interview about half of that number from people in the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard they interview about half of that number from people in the program. I’ve also heard 200 from several people in the program, including someone I just asked. I guess the number is just arbitrary, though. Maybe they aim for 200 and that’s not always the case year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it’s around 120 and about 15-20 of them are the 5 years.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex97 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I also just got a call!! I can't wait! Goodluck to everybody waiting still!Did you receive an email with details after she called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieSaysWhatNow Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) You see, I heard it differently. I heard 300 people get interviews for a final pool of 120. From there there are 40 people which are considered “accepted.” There are 15 more spots which are decided via a rollerball-like competition which escalates to a blood bath in short order. There are former alimni/current PAs to treat the wounded on the sidelines. The 15 still standing at the end join the other 40 and form the class. This could be hearsay though. Hasn’t been verified.

E0119 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hey team! I attended the monthly informational session a few months ago and the presenter said that 150 get interviewed and roughly 65 get accepted (approximately 15 coming from the five year track), so 50ish from the general community like us. I interviewed a couple of weeks ago and I think I blacked out I was so nervous. Anyone else feeling post interview hangover? I think my stomach will hurt until April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember half of what I said or what they asked. Thank you for the official clarification of number of seats and interviews! Do you know when the first interview day was? I thought I was within the first round. I hope its not a disadvantage to be interviewed early. My thought process is that they won't remember me by the time they are done interviewing and are ready to make decisions. Edit: I interviewed on the 24th of February.

E0119 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think you were the first day of interviews! I was the 25th. I literally don’t think I said anything I planned on saying. I can handle emergent life and death situations at work every day but put me in front of an interview panel and it appears I’ll crack under the pressure. I’m just hoping they could see past my nervousness and at least see I’m genuinely interested for the right reasons. I’m so ready to get started and I’m just keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to you! I hope we get good phone calls in April! It would be so exciting to meet all the classmates and hear about everyone’s journey and experiences. I think that’s one of the coolest parts of PA school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
