katzjos Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) On 9/5/2019 at 2:04 PM, mbartausky11 said: Those are two separate emails I received the "please allow at least 3 weeks for this review process" email on 7/10, and then the official interview invite on 8/27. The official interview invite email states that you will be called to set up an interview date, and that interviews will run between October and February. Hope that helps! To those who have received the official interview invite email, has anyone been called yet? I'm nervous about somehow missing the call, but I also don't want to contact the program quite yet as I know they are super busy this time of year. Congrats on the invite! I received a call this past Thursday and scheduled my interview for October 3rd Edited September 9, 2019 by katzjos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedle Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 For those that received the email to interview, did you need to complete the "online admissions course" prior to receiving the call to schedule? I received the interview email on Sept 5, but still haven't been called to schedule the interview yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't completed the online admissions course yet, but I'm also in the same boat as you as I haven't received a call to schedule an interview yet. I'm planning to complete the course tonight or tomorrow so hopefully they'll call to schedule. Anyone else having this experience? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananataters Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Just in case anyone is stressing. I received my phone call to schedule today, it was 2.5 weeks after I got my interview invite email. Rest easy they are working through a lot of candidates, and the person I spoke to on the phone was an absolutely delightful individual.

Kaitlynn was awesome and was super helpful when scheduling my interview. Don't stress! They are working hard to contact people. I missed my call but was able to reach Kaitlynn Good luck everyone!

starr101 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I just got invited for an interview (woohoo!) but was told in the email that since fall is full that I won't be interviewing until January. Is anyone else in this boat? I'm very excited and I guess I will just get a long time to prepare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I feel a bit slow, what does completing the course mean? All I did was put down my campus preference and the mission survey. The medical terminology course is just for those who have interviewed and either accepted or ranked for waitlist, yes? Help please, thank you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurenKS Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I got the call to schedule my interview today. Someone else may have said there were no interviews available until January (not sure which campus that was based on), but I was able to schedule mine for Nov. 11 in Caldwell. Kaitlyn (sp?) was super pleasant and helpful on the phone, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwyatt Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hey for the mission survey is anyone unable to answer yes on any of the questions that count for points? I feel that I can answer yes on living in an area with less than 25,000 people (Town of 11,000), but no on all of the rest. How badly will this hurt my chances? Anyone know of someone who got in but couldn't answer yes on any of the questions? Oh I also have a diagnosis of ADD and take medication for it, but I don't believe it counts towards the question about having a mental disability since it states it must substantially impede ones academic performance. Anyone answer yes on this and is diagnosed with ADD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone answer yes on this and is diagnosed with ADD? I guess it really depends on your current file score without the mission survey point. I can't really say how much it would affect your chances but it definitely doesn't hurt to have the extra point. I'd say if you have any questions to send Ann an email with your inquiries she would probably be able to answer questions regarding your individual case with much more certainty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwyatt Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Anyone know in what scale the interviews are scored? Is it 1-4, 1-5 etc? Edited November 1, 2019 by mwyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananataters Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Anyone know how low the file score cutoff has gone in previous years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKP94 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Accepted a few weeks ago! Interviewed on the 21st and Ann was really responsive a few hours after my interview. You can email her a few hours after your interview and she will give you a file score with the updates from the interview. My final file score wasn't good enough for the first round of acceptances but I got in after they lowered the file score threshold a bit to 10.20. Good luck to everyone, the interview was super laid back and the faculty and students were friendly and awesome.

GoldCE Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It looks like I'm lucky enough that I'm going to need to decide between a few programs, so I wanted to ask: What attracts you guys to ISU? What do you like about the program? What have you heard about the program? Why do you want to attend PA school here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
