Not positive though I wonder if they will push it back ...because of accreditation and since they just changed the deadline date as well. Things will be very rushed if not.. Just an opinion....

Krist97 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If my status says “screening in process” that means my application is still under review right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkPAStudent2022 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I just got an email stating that due to COVID-19 and all in-person campus classes being shutdown my in-person interview on Monday is now a phone interview....BUMMED.

minority3246 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) How do you guys feel about it? Like in person interviews come with a different atmosphere and stressors that a phone interview won't have, same about being able to connect with your interviewer through a phone conversation, like you won't have that face to face interaction. What about the essay portion? I don't know how to feel about the whole scenario change for future interviews. IDK how to feel about it tbh Edited March 12, 2020 by minority3246 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkPAStudent2022 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I really like talking in-person as you can reaffirm how everything is going through body language, the atmosphere vibe and I think show deeper interest. Also, has anyone who has interviewed asked about the probation status? The report that was put on this page a while ago http://www.arc-pa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Accreditation-Actions-Summary-2019S-1.15.pdf Showed reasons such as lacking evidence of safety addressing appropriate security and personal safety measures for PA students in all locations and lacked evidence all instructional faculty serving as supervised clinical practice experience [SCPEs] preceptors hold a valid license... These are alarming but what I find most alarming about possibly getting accepted into a program that is on probation being reviewed in Sept 2021, is that what if they fail this review? Would the class that gets accepted now, not graduate on time in 2022? I know you have to graduate from an accredited program to sit for the PANCE exam....

YorkPAStudent2022 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 So i had the phone interview yesterday, I think it went well.... was about 1 hour an 30 minutes. Such a crazy timing with everything, they changed my time three times that day due to emergency meetings. I don't even know if they're going to have in-person interviews after all of this or they're going to let the weight of a phone interview determine if they are going to extend a seat in their 2019-2020 class? She also mentioned how I am short 20 hours of the 250+ community service hours, but all volunteer programs have been shut down for now. I wonder if that is a heavy determining factor for admission.... I hope not. STRESSED over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
