2019-2020 Application Cycle


Recommended Posts

I received an invite to interview 8/8! I received the "we have everything we need" email on 6/3.

To answer some previous questions, I do NOT have all the pre-reqs. I've registered for stats and microbio for the Fall.  I had a 3.97 undergrad (cumulative and sciences) and a 4.00 masters. I have just over 400 hours in health care (medical assistant, scribe, and hospice volunteer). Only 12 hours shadowing, but I indicated that it’s ongoing. Non-HC Employment hours ~7700; Volunteer ~900; teaching ~300; leadership ~600; and research ~660.  Hope that helps!  Good luck! I'm looking forward to meeting y'all there!

Hey! I interviewed for HSU a year ago today and the program won me over completely! I was accepted 2 days later and will be starting in about a month! I may not be there yet but I know some current students offered advice last year that was really helpful to me so if you need any interview advice or info about the program just let me know and I can do my best. Best of Luck!

So excited for you! What kind of interviews do they conduct? 

Haven’t got an interview yet but wanted to start preparing. Hoping they will reply soon!! I’m not sure what order they review the applications.

I want to say first, they may change what they did last year, but we had 2 one-on-one interviews and a group interview. All had basic interview questions and mine ended up being more like conversations. The group interview was a small group and is nothing really to worry about.

Candidate selection for us was rolling! Each application was reviewed as it was submitted and this continued throughout the interview season. So after every interview anyone who didn't receive an acceptance or rejection was put in a pool which was again reviewed with every applicant who had interviewed previously. Basically if you don't hear a No, there's still a chance. The faculty just want to be sure they are selecting the best students for their program and don't want to miss applicants if they applied a bit later in the cycle!

Wondering if there are any applicants here that applied the first few weeks after CASPA open and have not received anything at all yet 😮.

It's radio silence, at least give me something! Lol

I'm with you. I received the "application complete" email on May 24 and have not heard a peep. I'm getting so nervous because people who applied after me have received interviews.
