OlaPA Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I was invited for an interview but I respectfully declined bc I was already accepted to one of my fav programs. I hope that opens up a spot for someone else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradleyNguyen Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi everyone! Has anyone else interviewed at other schools in NY? Could someone please tell me why they are choosing this school over the others? Thanks! Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afutpa2022 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Just my two cents but I would think you would make your decision on where to go to school as a personal decision and not be swayed by another persons decision since it is based on their personal situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Hi Brad, I’m not sure why there is so much animosity in this thread but to answer your question, SBU is fairly cheaper than other PA programs in NY. SBU also has a pretty good reputation in NY. I don’t think reputation is as important though since getting a job as a PA isn’t as difficult as other occupations. I think you can also use your experience during your interviews to help you decide. If you get a good vibe from the staff and students then that might help you choose which program you want to attend. I would also recommend touring the campus but with COVID that might not be an option. If you have any questions feel free to DM me! I have been accepted to a few others programs in NY and I’ve lived here my whole life 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCgirl32 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi Brad, I would echo what Launa stated above. While your reasoning for choosing one school over another is certainly personal, some of the reasons why I chose Stony Brook and that you may also consider (I was accepted this cycle) was cost, reputation, location and program status/rigor. It is both affordable and prestigious, and is in a place where I am able to move to relatively easily in my current situation. I also love the design and length of the program - while it seems challenging, it also seems like quality education with a connected, caring faculty. I believe that Stony Brook offers a the perfect route to becoming a PA (for me) for many reasons and I am very excited and blessed to have the opportunity to attend. Hope my insight helps a little and Congrats! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePAS2023 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I also generally feel the same as the last two posters! I was accepted to other NY programs and have always lived in the NY area and SBU was my favorite because of cost, prestige, location, and the overall vibe of the program i had gotten from interviews. Interacting with the staff and second year students at the interview made my decision set in concrete that I was definitely going to commit to SBU. In regards to location, anywhere in NY is pretty cool in my opinion but with SBU the close proximity to the city and opportunity for rotations in some big name places was of high appeal to me! I also really enjoyed the length of the program of 24 months starting June and the set up for clinical rotations in general! Hope this helps answer your question a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climbingroses Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Congrats to all the accepted applicants!
