q4zhang Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Has anyone gotten interview invites? I submitted my supplemental application less than 2 weeks ago, but haven't heard anything back from them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acozadd Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Unless they have changed their process from last year, they do not send out interview invites until winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudypa Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Agreed, they interview in Dec/Jan, so don't expect much until end of Nov-Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyPrePA Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How to Apply: UW-Madison PA Program | UW Family Medicine. The bottom of that page gives you a time-line for their process. Sometimes I wish it happened sooner than mid-December! Oh well, I guess I'm learning patients. We'll have to update each other as we hear from them. Good luck everyone!

rudypa Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I read last years blog, and I'll say this, Wisco is looking for a very specific candidate based on their website, or are picking some extreme creme-de-la-crop!! Im guessing the former, they really want to kick out primary providers and like students coming from rural areas, particulary, rural or underserved urban wisconsin.

COMountain Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Nada - I actually submitted my application in August, and also haven't heard back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypa Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Wisco recently added a video of their informational session they have once a month. If you have applied to Wisconsin, it's a great 30 mins to watch. It really tells you who they are looking for and the interview process. They had 700+ CASPA applicants last year, that got par'd down to 580 that actually "qualified" based on pre-reqs. 424 returned the supplemental app. And they invite 70-80 interviewees. The interview is in Jan, you are notified in mid Dec whether you are invited or not. You come with 7-8 other applicants, get a tour, meet with students and have 2 seperate 15-20 min interviews with 3-4 interviewers. Laid back, they just want to "talk"! Having a 3.9 GPA and saying nothing about yourself will not got you an interview. They actually look at the applicant as a whole. They rank the interviewees based on "Acceptability" to their program. I've read in past posts how applicants have applied and not gotten an interview, but got one at Yale. They just don't care about high GPAs. They want a complete candidate. Just an FYI to everyone :) Hope this eases some nerves for those of us that applied to Wisco, it did for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yenta Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 hi rudypa! this is funny...i actually just watched this video and then decided to come on here to see if anyone had been posting anything for this year's cycle...it is a good video to watch i must say! have you checked out the other ime videos? they make me so excited to get into pa school one day! although this is my first year of applying and i had a wee bit of a crazy summer, so my application was not the earliest! so we will see what happens, will definitely keep trying if this year doesn't work out. my friend kelsey graduated from uw-madison, she LOVED it here! i just got to catch up with her a few weeks ago at a wedding after not seeing each other for years and i had told her i applied here. she had so very many positive things to say not only about the pa pgrm, but also the people and city of madison as well. i definitely know who's ever applied to this school made a very good decision! anyways, good luck to everyone! i really don't want time to fly as i have so many things to catch up on, but i am really crossing my fingers and it is so hard to wait for things like this!! :) jeanette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaabbb123 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 My prediction is this is an Interwebs game of telephone and the intel meant to say, "The Week of the 13th." It'll probably be days of horrible waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avirchow Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 my eyes have been glued to my inbox all day....and nothing! anyone else hear anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amasoccer Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Nope, nothing. I did the same thing, even though I figured they would probably start calling or emailing mid-week. Who knows!! I've never been this impatient! :) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I checked my email way way to many times today and was really nervous and anxious all day........ all for nothing.

yenta Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 you guys are all making me feel much better here...i mean checking your email every hour isn't obsessive compulsive is it (and that's a very conservative estimate!!)? last year they sent out notices on the 15th, so i bet we will have to wait until tomorrow...uggghhh...i MUST find another distraction!!
