las257 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 They call you if you got an interview right? It’s not over email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonoToPA Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Is the interview invite by email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshvalencia Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 @SonoToPA @coles357 I can't speak for those who may have received a phone call, but I received an e-mail giving me my interview date and all the information that comes with it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewsOkay Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 @joshvalencia I received my invite via e-mail as well. Hope that's helpful for everyone awaiting their invite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taraliskaaa Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 @coles357 @SonoToPA I also received an email! @AndrewsOkay @alexowen2 I have heard that in the past they have done a 3 on 1 interview (3 faculty and 1 student), but I'm not sure if that is still how they do it! See you guys there! Congrats and good luck to everyone getting invites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondTime Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 For those of you getting interview invites, do you mind sharing your stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewsOkay Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 @taraliskaaa That matches up with what I've heard. I have a close friend in the D.O. program and he said the interview group sizes were around 8-10 people, and that interviews are done individually. @SecondTime Sure! B.S. in Medical Laboratory Sciences and Biotechnology Overall GPA: 3.5 Science GPA: 3.58 Patient Contact Hours: 6000+ (EMT, Urgent Care Tech, Phlebotomist) Evaluations: 5 (2 Work, 3 Academic) Shadowing done with a PA in the ER My GPA is definitely the weakest aspect of my application (Especially for PCOM) , but I think a handful of solid references were my saving grace. If you have any other questions, please let me know! Hopefully you get an offer for an interview soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Biomedical Science Overall GPA: 3.95 Science GPA: 4.0 Patient/Health Experience: 2000+ hours (too lazy to go and count I just know it’s past that) Evaluations: 3 no PA shadowing (because it’s damn near impossible in NYC) I have a ton of leadership/ volunteer/ mentoring/ teaching/ tutoring experience, which I have committed 5-6 years to. Honestly speaking, worry less about stats and just focus on what sets YOU apart from everyone else applying as you can see other people have lower academic stats than I do, but they compensate with other things in their profile that I may lack in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snnypa1 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) My application was completed on the portal on August 28th. So I am still waiting to hear back! I don't think we get an email for the completed app. We just have to check on the portal. Edited September 24, 2019 by SarahRNav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taraliskaaa Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 @SecondTime BS in Athletic Training; I have done 1 year of AT work and I am now working as a physician extender for spine surgeons. GPA: 3.72 Science GPA: 3.69 Patient Care: 2,000+ (as an AT, physician extender, working with an NP, mission trip to Costa Rica) Evaluations: 5 ( 2 academic, 1 preceptor, 1 PA, 1 NP) PA Shadowing: 500 (Shadowed in plastic surgery, general surgery) In my undergrad I held a lot of leadership roles on campus and was very involved. I was also an athlete and I've heard that many universities like that because it shows a lot of qualities such as time management. So if you were an athlete make sure you put some emphasis on that! I agree, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and you have to see what is going to set you apart from everyone else. I also think that getting your application in early can really benefit you as a lot of schools are rolling admissions! If you have any other questions let me know! Good luck! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about reaching out to them, but I know in the portal it says due to their volume of applications it can take up to 15 business days for the application to be marked as "complete" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
