patriciayvette Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I interviewed on 10/5 and honestly feel so bad about it. I have done MMI style before but this one felt way more difficult. I feel like I was so nervous and couldn't get myself to collect my thoughts. I know I also tend to be super hard on myself and misremember things as worse than they actually were but I have just been completely devastated these past few days because GW is my top choice and I feel like I blew it. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement for me? I also felt this way! I had done MMI before but definitely felt this was more challenging and thought I BLEW it but I got a call last week don’t beat yourself up too hard!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement for me? I was in the same boat. I definitely felt like I bombed some of the interview questions and felt like a lot of the people at my interview were wayyy more qualified than me. I walked out not expecting to be accepted/waitlisted at best and I was accepted Sept. 18th!! I think it’s natural to have self doubt after such a stressful experience.

Just FYI, my email saying my decision was posted to the GW portal went to spam even though no other GW emails have. Thank you! Mine said it was due the same day it was sent, 10/5. Also went to spam, and I woke up to a very disappointing email yesterday. Turns out it was a clerical error that they corrected today.. Phew! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriciayvette Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 After a lot of discussion and several pros and cons list I have decided to give up my spot in the program. Hope someone just as deserving gets my spot! Can't wait to see all of you in the future as ROCKSTAR PA's 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shejera Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I know it's difficult but try to stay positive. I was invited just days before my interview. They seem to start sending invitations about three weeks in advance so it might be a bit early for the November date. Everything is still possible until the last interview day comes and goes. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement for me? I interviewed 9/6 and pretty much immediately took GWU off my list of potential schools bc I thought I messed up the MMI so badly. During one of the stations I had pretty much no valuable insight and was so nervous and wasn't vibing well with the interviewer at all. And the station ended on the worst note because I asked a question in response to his question and then time was up and then a week later I had a really easy traditional interview where I thought I did fine. But then on the same day I received an acceptance call from GWU I was rejected from the other school. That's my long winded way of saying this process is so incredibly unpredictable at times. I only felt good for about half of the MMI stations but was still offered acceptance when I didn't even expect to hear anything back until December. I ultimately have made the decision to give up my seat at GWU because I was accepted to the only other program I considered over it. Best of luck, and just trust yourself and trust the process!!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I really feel like I bombed it but who knows! We are lucky in that it is a holistic process. My fingers are crossed.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement for me? Honestly I thought I didn’t do well either. There were a few other posts that touched in it but the schools that I thought I did well, I didn’t get accepted and the ones that I thought I did horrible, I got accepted. It’s okay if you messed up on a few (I for sure butchered 2 stations). Keep in mind that you were selected for an interview for a reason and GW sees you as a fit for their program! Keep your head up! Hope it helps, good luck to you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuzMK Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm a current GW PA student and wanted to let you know that our class created a Facebook group for admitted students. Please feel welcome to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/410868703143420/. You will have to answer a couple questions to be granted to access as we are restricting this group to admitted students. It is a great way to meet other admitted students and also have any of your questions answered. The group is monitored by current students that can help answer your questions. Our class will also be putting together a survival guide for new students that will give you lots of tips on everything from housing to academics. Congrats to those of you that have been admitted and good luck to those of you with upcoming interviews! And for those of you somewhere in between, as someone who applied to PA school twice and remembers how brutal the process can be please trust me when I say that it does all work out. Best, Luz 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
