They told me interviews will be sent out in small batches leading up till the 21st of December because that’s their deadline of when they want to send out interviews. If you don’t hear back after the 21st, most likely a rejection Edited December 16, 2020 by Paapp20202021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strpa Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Wow. Their website says the 18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd that they seem to be offering conflicting information from what you heard at the informational versus what someone else was told over the phone earlier. Nothing we can really do now other than wait (some more lol) and see. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I kind of figured this was what was happening. It makes the most sense. Oh well. Maybe next year. Good luck to you all on your futures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Mlogan, why would you say you are hopeful based on the information at the session? I thought they said all 120 had been sent...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called today around 4 a clock and the lady I spoke to was talking to admissions in the pa department and received an email letting people who call know they will be sending invite emails December 15,16,17,18, and 21 and if you did not hear back about an invite on the 21st, then it’s most likely a rejection Edited December 16, 2020 by Paapp20202021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think what is happening is what I said earlier in the thread. All 120 have been sent and they have to confirm or reject their invite by noon on the 17th. After that the school will offer more interviews based on how many of the original 120 have declined.

Guest dean227 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I guess the only thing we can do for those who didn’t receive an interview invite today is wait until later this week. I hope there’s good news soon for everyone! Is anyone surprised they’re doing in person interviews at all? The other interviews I’ve had have all been over zoom so it’s kinda surprising it’s in person lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s going to be a big advantage for those who can attend in person, greater chances to increase rapport and be memorable but it’s a pandemic so it’s understandable for virtual. Also it’s convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschulte Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Wow, I’m kinda beside myself right now. I calmed my brain to wait for the 18th and all this from today has me going nuts lol. So much for restful sleep tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I agree eschulte. I was certain we would find out on Friday. This has been crazy that today was the day. I am a bit surprised though that only 2 people have informed us of interviews on this thread. I know not everyone who will get an invite is a member here but it does seem weird only 2 have responded with invites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflorece Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’m from California and also got an interview invite. Christine called me a few hours after sending in my confirmation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8jsp Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I received an invitation this morning. Interviews will be in person and i find this odd. Honestly I don't know how i feel about it lol. Have until Thursday to accept. Every interview I've had has been virtual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning to all and congratulations to all that have received invites to interviews. I did not receive and invite. I really thought my application was very competitive. I am an older applicant and this may have hurt me. Good luck to you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I am 48. I am not blaming it on that just could be factor. They may want PAs that can practice longer. Also, I am sure the ones who got invites were better qualified. I do not want to take anything away from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strpa Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 One thing I do worry about is what if your application didn’t even qualify? What if you made a mistake and put a class in the supplemental application from your transcript and it was the wrong class? Would they find the correct class on your transcript or would they just throw it out and call it incomplete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
