thehustletownpa Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Well I have an interview and to help with some of you who haven't received word back and are anxious about grades, I'm an applicant with below average GPA 3.2 ovr, 3.5 sci, but stellar experience. So keep your heads up. I have been through rejection and interviews as well this cycle. Good luck to everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGM717 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Received an interview invite today for November 21st in Salt Lake. I declined, as I have already been accepted to my first choice. I hope it gives someone on the alternate list a chance to shine! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baj0411 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I received an interview for the 21st. I look forward to meeting others on the 21st! For those rejected, keep your heads up. I know it’s difficult and it sucks, but just keep plugging away at it. This is my third cycle applying. My first cycle nothing but rejections. My second cycle two interviews and two rejections. This cycle one interview- waitlisted and now this opportunity My GPA’s are way below average, but you can make up for it in other areas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interviewed last year and there was a girl in my group that was called in the day of interviews. I have no clue what the odds are for that, but I know students can get pulled off the waitlist to interview that have been accepted into the program.

thelongglass Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I got an interview for 11/22. Looking forward to meeting everybody! This was my second year applying. Last year my patient care hours were quite a bit below average, but I decided I didn't have much to lose, so I submitted. I didn't get an interview, but afterwards I got a lot of feedback and encouragement from people in the field. My focus was on writing a better statement, getting more patient care hours, and taking a couple classes for other programs' prerequisites.

Ditto on the MMI! I had a superficial look at the website, but didn't see anything about MMIs. When Doris said resources can be found online, maybe she meant generally.

Burritobenito Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Rejected, no interview. 2000+ applicants with less than 200 interview spots is crazy, but such is the PA application game. Good luck to everyone interviewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have a little prompt, a couple mins to prepare, and then go into it. One might be dealing with an angry patient, another an unethical coworker, etc. Read their mission statement and vision, they are really passionate about that and likely will have an MMI about treating an underserved population or some other aspect of their vision that they just want you to discuss. Honestly the sit down interviews were really easy last year, and the MMIs a bit stressful. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
