AZRRTtoPA Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi all! I received an interview invite 8/26. I will be declining since I've already accepted a seat into my top choice program. I really hope this means that someone else who is waiting for an interview invite with ATSU will get one really really soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWell24 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hello All, Does anyone know how many people get offered an interview per cycle and what the rate of admission is? Also, does anyone know how many people are invited to each interview date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustturnedPAS Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 For those who have interviewed, is there a room where we can store our luggage during the interview? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Yes they were able to store luggage for at least one person from what I saw. But most people said their hotel was willing to hold on to their luggage till they got done.

11123 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Anyone willing to share their experience interviewing here? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't / can't say exactly which questions were asked in the MMI portion but they were pretty standard. This was my first MMI experience and I was thoroughly pleased. I enjoyed the opportunity to make an impression with multiple staff/Professors. 1 in the file review and 8 in the MMI portion, and of course everybody else that was there that you interacted with. I feel like I was articulate and answered the questions sufficiently but ultimately I don't know how I did or how everyone else did that I will be compared to, but one thing I can say is that EVERYONE that was involved with the entire process was extremely nice and pleasant. I know you have probably heard this countless times and I know I didn't truly relax until 1/3 through the day, but really don't stress. If you have prepared for the MMI and also traditional questions then you will do fine. They want to see how you handle yourself in stressful situations, your communication/people skills, as well as critical thinking as it pertains to ethical situations. Wish everyone the best of luck!! It is still very early in the cycle and plenty of opportunities to get a seat. Joel 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of people that left it with the hotel, but I didn't want to have to uber back to the hotel, and then to the airport. my luggage was a carryon size so it wasn't that much of a hassle for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely super nervous but the entire staff and faculty were really encouraging. You're basically one on one the whole time when they ask you questions, and the only time you're with a group is for the exam and when you're waiting to go into an MMI station. The staff and faculty are extremely open to answering any questions or concerns you have. If you have a personal question (had a few about prerequisites that I forgot to ask during my 1:1 file review), they'll immediately call someone over and make sure it's addressed. During the MMI each person I encountered was extremely nice and engaging, and made sure you feel like your answer is addressed. Good luck and don't forget to have fun! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without disclosing any information that you can’t. Was this an anatomy and physiology, med term, biology, biochemistry exam? Anything difficult I should expect?

The test isn't used in the admissions process. They are just gathering more data to determine if they want to use it as part of the admissions process in the future. It is an assortment of anatomy/biology stuff. Nothing crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vmundo Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Does anyone know if they have a cadaver lab? I’ve researched a lot but have not seen anything on the website in regards to them have a cadaver lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have one but from what they told us during the presentation we as PAs won't have much interaction. They will explain that they want to teach us anatomy in a more realistic manner that we will use in clinical settings rather than in an autopsy setting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of everything! there are times you're with everyone, in smaller groups, and one on one! I feel like the time you spend in each setting ends up being the same.

It seems like whenever people asked about it they would deviate from the conversation, so it seems like we wont have to do with it (if you look on their brochure they advertise they have a virtual anatomy lab). One of the staff members said if you want to get involved with cadavers you can join an autopsy club haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
