hannahkris Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I applied a bit late (received verification 9/25). I'm hoping there are still interview spots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgenPA Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I just emailed the program and they told me they dont plan on interviewing anymore applicants. This is what I got from them: Hello Andrew, Thank you for applying to the MSPAS program at Dominican University of California. Your application has been reviewed, but at this time you have not been selected for an interview. Currently, there are no further plans to interview more students; however, if that changes, you'll be contacted should your file be selected for an interview. Thanks for your patience. Kind regards, Katherine Vaughan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexisv97 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I just received an interview invite from them today, for Saturday November 6th. I wonder how many spots they still have open, since this appears to be the last interview date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25338891 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Did anyone take their prerequisites through Portage Learning through Geneva College? Did the program accept your prerequisites taken through them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melina228 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 For those who have been accepted, congratulations!! I have an interview coming up this Saturday, does anyone have any tips or advice as to how to prepare? Were the questions traditional, ethical, behavioral? Any help would be appreciated!

Honest advice without being unethical is... Be yourself and make the most of your time. I felt that the interview was extremely short in comparison to the last year that I applied. Probably due to it being on zoom, but try to make an impression early because the amount of time you are actually going to be speaking is pretty short and shared amongst dozens of other students in some cases. For September interviews, they stuck to the schedule that they send you in the email down to the minute. That is the best advice that I can give without oversharing the experience and giving some an unfair advantage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the same issue with the first interview session. I emailed them and they said at 5pm (I think. Could have been 4pm) we would get zoom links. And right on the clock at 5pm we got them. Good luck everyone interviewing tomorrow! I visited campus yesterday and it is beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, like you mentioned a few days prior, the actual time being interviewed felt really short. I think we were asked a total of 5 or 6 questions, so definitely not a lot of time to showcase who you are. Overall, everyone was very kind, and the program looks great. Based on the initial zoom introduction, I think there were around 50 people being interviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very relaxing actually and the most comfortable interview I’ve had thus far! The questions were very fair and the faculty did an amazing job of making the students feel more at ease.

I hope you guys get that exciting call in the coming weeks. I actually missed my call but the voicemail was pretty exciting. Feel free to let us know the news when you get it.

CaliAbcPA Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi everyone! For those that interviewed, does anyone know if any announcement was made in the beginning about whether we are required to send in a professional photo? My internet dropped for a minute in our introductions and I just wanted to make sure we had no additional actions required post-interview. Thanks! Best of luck to all of you!

NFPA24 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi all! So in terms of Dominicans accreditation, does anyone know when they are up for their next review? Also if Dominican were to lose their accreditation after Aug 2021, students who start next year would be able to graduate and sit for the PANCE right? I'm a little confused about it all and worried about attending a program that isn't fully accredited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little confused about it all and worried about attending a program that isn't fully accredited. I have friends who are currently attending Samuel Merritt PA school. They had been placed on probation as well and my friend told me that regardless of if they lost accreditation, they would still be able to graduate the people that are still in the program and be allowed to take the PANCE. I would imagine that Dominican and all other PA schools would work the same way, but I couldn't be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
