Chiyoko Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I just submitted my supplemental application! I submitted and got verified on CASPA early June but was occupied applying to rolling admissions schools first so I just got around to finishing everything up! Now time to wait! Good luck to everyone that applied so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadKat Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I recieved an invitation today at about 3 o'clock for an interview on October 5th. I'm guessing this is their first interview date as their application deadline was recent. Yay! Good luck to everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Just an FYI to those applying who may be anticipating an interview. There are only three interview dates. Oct 5th, Nov 9th, and Nov 23rd. I got this information from my interview invitation via email.

ecwaters Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I received the same email yesterday - looking forward to meeting folks on 10/5! I am still a bit hesitant with the probation status, but I have been very impressed with what I have read about the program, especially its focus on rural medicine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canfield Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Those of us who live in Oregon know the caliber of instruction at Pacific whether it be Optometry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy or Physician Assistant. Practitioners in my area who are graduates of Pacific have excellent reputations and quality of work. I am not concerned in the slightest about the Accreditation-Probation status and, since Pacific is so forthright about the issue, I have greater confidence in the program which seems to have just completed a rigorous evaluation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so it says on the prompt instructions not to disclose the exact prompt or other information. Hopefully this isn't saying too much but, it's not a question necessarily about "getting to know you." It's not a typical essay question that you would have been anticipating (or at least I wasn't anticipating). You can't really prepare for it. I guess I would just say be good at problem solving. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niksee Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 has anyone else gotten recent interview invites for october? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisbabaya Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 To the people who received interviews, congrats! So exciting. Do y’all mind sharing stats? I know they’re super big on gpa but I have a 3.76 and I’d like to think that’s competitive, in my humble opinion lol. Pacific is my top choice I literally check my email constantly for pacific specifically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck though and hopefully we’ll hear back about a second round of invites soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT2041 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Is the interview invite from Pacific or do they send it through Caspa? Also, does anyone know if Pacific requires students to find their own clinical placements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does anyone know if Pacific requires students to find their own clinical placements? You should receive the interview invite directly to the email that you listed on CASPA, as Pacific will not contact you through CASPA. Regarding clinical rotations, I’m pretty sure that it’s an ARC-PA requirement that schools set up and manage your clinical rotations. Some programs (Pacific included) do allow you to contact a clinical site to see if it’s possible to utilize them as a rotation if you desire, but it’s never a requirement. I hope that’s helpful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
