I thought the interview was an all day event? How is it managed 2 interviews at different times? The interview process for UOP is usually an all day event. Normally they have a group interview part and a panel interview. Due to COVID, most of California is quarantined so UOP decided to do interviews over zoom. Im guessing they are going to do all interviews over zoom to be fair but to do this they had one zoom interview as the group that lasted 2 hours and one zoom interview for panel interview. The panel interview was spread out across the day until the third zoom interview for Q&A with current students. I just happened to have back to back group interview and panel which is why mine were over so fast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't stress too much Thanks so much for sharing! Mine is next week and I'm pretty nervous... I know you can't share many details about what they asked, but would you be willing to share if the panel interview included typical PA school interview questions or more unexpected questions and if the group one had a lot of group based work or individual questions? I'm happy to hear the faculty is welcoming, I continue to hear that about UOP which makes me less nervous for sure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They truly aren't trying to trick you but just get to know you and your personality. They made jokes and made me feel super comfortable so just be yourself! The group interview was a lot of group based work to see how we work together. It was my favorite part honestly and it was the part I was worried about the most. Honestly I love this program more after the interview! just have fun with it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received an email saying i satisfied the initial screening. After this email is where I would expect a rejection or interview invite? I'm just a little confused about the whole process.

Soontobepagirl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Just finished my panel and group interviews! Waiting for the Q&A to start now. Overall, I had a great experience during this interview. I felt that both parts were pretty relaxed especially the group interview. The faculty did not ask trick questions, and I truly believe they just want to know who we are to see if we are a good fit. The group interview was about 2 hours and it was great to meet the other applicants! I like this program a lot. Future interviewees: try not to stress about it, be yourself, and have fun with it! We’ll see what kind of feedback I get within the next couple days! Edited June 25, 2020 by Soontobepagirl 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
