NT4816 1 Posted June 11, 2019 I would prepare for some of the typical pa school interview questions. Know your “why pa” answer well. It was a really laid back interview honestly. They just want you to demonstrate good interpersonal skills and get to know you. They may ask a question or two that will make you think, but nothing that will really deliberately trip you up(at least from my experience). Ask questions when they open it up for questions, in interview and during the different presentations. Good luck you got this! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmpen 2 Posted June 11, 2019 I had almost the exact same timeline and agree with everything said above! I submitted CASPA 5/10, verified 5/13. Submitted AMC supplement on 5/13, and application was complete 5/20 (when my 3rd LOR was submitted). Invited to interview on 5/29, interviewed and accepted on 6/5. My GPA and GRE were above their published averages, and I currently work at AMC so still getting PCE, plus an 11-month internship with PCE last year. I was nervous for the interview, but it's a laid-back day overall - info sessions on the overall program, didactic part, and clinical part, then two one-on-one interviews with faculty, ~30 min each. Mine were pretty conversational, and they didn't ask any tricky/scary questions - just tried to get to know me and fill in any gaps in my application. Definitely be able to talk about why you want to be a PA and how your past experiences have gotten you here/contribute to that goal. I turned in my deposit 6/7 and am 98% sure I'll be there in January - hope to see you guys there!! Good luck to those with upcoming interviews! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnozyk01 10 Posted June 12, 2019 I know it might be a little late in the application process for AMC since they are a January start program. I just submitted today with hopes of hearing back soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lkayprepa 3 Posted June 12, 2019 I just received my interview invitation! Does anyone have information from their interview that was worth sharing? From what you all have said it sounds pretty laid back which is a relief to hear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanaSchroeder 4 Posted June 20, 2019 I recently got an interview offer for AMC and I have been trying to do more research on the school to prepare for my interview, I have been trying to find the mission statement and I cannot find it anywhere?! The website says to explore the Center for Physician Assistant Studies website for more information but I cannot find the website anywhere! Anyone know where I can find more information?

DanaSchroeder 4 Posted July 6, 2019 I applied at the end of May probably about May 28th. I went into the interview fairly unprepared with regards to the specific program because I could not find a ton of information, but it was not particularly necessary because they do quite a few presentations before your first interview on the program so I took notes during that and asked questions and formulated why I liked AMCs PA program over others. They gave out a bunch of paperwork with information about the program that I will attach once I find it in my room. I interviewed on Friday June 21st and was accepted the following Monday so they work fast. They then gave two weeks to submit a signed contract and deposit. Any other question please let me know! I am happy to help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
