If you have more time on your hands you can explore the Dixie Rock which is at the top of Main St. And the shops on Main St are pretty sweet. Snow Canyon is a state park 5 mins outside St G, and Zions is about 30 mins from St G. Let me know who's all going to dinner and I can get us reservations I'll be interviewing on the 16th at St. George! Is there room for one more?

Have fun without me though! Awe same, my flight lands around 1pm and with luggage and rental car I probably won't make it. Anyone staying at the Marriott at University Park that would want to grab dinner?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not staying at the Marriott, but am staying closer to that area. I could meet up starting anywhere between 2 to 3:30 pm for an afternoon snack or something on 11/13 for the SLC interview. Can't do a dinner, but willing to meetup with anyone who can go a bit earlier! @JK2020 @Thehopefulone Maybe Pizza Nono?: 925 900 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84105?

ICF2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks for the recommendation @amandaaa22! Random question: My main mode of travel during my trip will be Uber and I haven't visited SLC before so I'm unfamiliar with their availability in this city, especially in the morning around 6:30am. Does anyone have any problems with available drivers when planning to uber to the interview in the past? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA55 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I was on the interview waitlist (the bottom half) and was notified today that I have been invited to interview on the 14th! I'm so surprised and so excited! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA55 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 They emailed me today! When I first was put in the interview waitlisted I asked for more information and all they said they could tell me was there was about 30 on the list and that I was ranked on the bottom half. They said they couldn't tell me my exact ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnitblue1234 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Has anyone who's been out of school for a while found anything to be helpful while preparing for the 150 question anatomy exam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farafish260 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) So I’ve been out of school for a while, however I took A&P about two years ago for to go back to PA school. My approach was to purchase the barons anatomy and physiology study guide and complete the book before the interview. I was notified of my interview on the 6th of October for the 14th of November. I focused on the really important topics like the skeletal system, nervous, muscles, endocrine, respiratory etc....I spent about 4-6 hours a day reviewing and I do work full time, and I have kids. I don’t know how detailed the exam will be but I honestly tried my best. Some say it’s easy while others say it’s hard...both are relative to the knowledge of the test taker etc. some chapters such as the reproductive I’m still really shaky in. But I’ll continue to prepare right up to the day before my interview. I hope that helped Edited November 11, 2019 by Farafish260 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA55 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've heard from current students that the test doesn't hold much weight, that apparently they only use it as a tiebreaker if they can't decide between two applicants.

I would have to agree. It is difficult to compare the test results of someone that was at the top of their class 7 yrs ago vs someone that took it last year with a much poorer grade. Perhaps the latter would have the better test results, but not do as well in PA school. I'm sure the faculty is well aware of this. They probably use it as a benchmark for how far back they should allow prerequisites, or also how they might group study partners or emphasize certain material in class.

Joyfeliz1 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) For those of us interviewing this Saturday in St George and are wanting to do dinner, I was thinking we could change the time to 6pm as thats the feedback I have recieved so far on the time that works best. Please let me know if you can make it so I can get a head count for reservations by tomorrow evening at the lastest.
