I want to add that I had a friend last year who got an interview invite after being rejected! I assume from those who declined. stay positive! If not this year (if not this program), your time will come! It’s a numbers game! Really? I thought once you're rejected, they don't open your application for review even if seats are open. Was this all in the same cycle of applying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehopefulpa Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 As a pleasant surprise in all this waiting I got an invite to another program but I’m keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for the U!! I’m curious if any of you have had virtual interviews with other programs and if there’s any tips you can give? The idea of zoom deciding my fate makes me really anxious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve adapted really well to this new online/hybrid model and I am grateful everyday. The faculty is top notch and they know who they want in their program. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Hey!

I haven't taken the test yet but I am planning on using Mark Neilson's Anatomy Textbook. He is the anatomy professor at the U. His Advanced TA's teach for the school of medicine and I am totally speculating but I would assume they used him or his TA's for making the test.

MedicineMom Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I wonder if they are doing notifications in chunks. Maybe they are doing some today and some another day. Still waiting on the email. This is so stressful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLangi Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 One of the links I found for those interested: https://nielsen.biology.utah.edu/courses/ has his lectures online they are free (as far as I can tell) You can find his textbook here: https://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Human-Anatomy-Mark-Nielsen-ebook/dp/B005G14LQM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely is tough to keep going, but if you feel like it's what you're meant to do, keep pushing! I'd be happy to talk with anyone about being a reapplicant and my journey to PA school. Please reach out! Is the exam for the interview multiple choice? What can you tell me about things to review if you remember??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: Being on the alternate list and having to wait even longer to find out if you get a chance. (happened to me last year) I feel you everyone! Hang in there! Did you eventually get pulled off of the alternate list and got an interview ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYang2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 @pathgirl20 Sorry, just read up on your response to another post afterwards— did you end up getting accepted ? Also, would you recommend for those waitlisted for an interview to select the earliest date of preference or should we be flexible and say no preference ? Thank you so much!

PA0698 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 3 hours ago, EmilyJean said: Received an interview invite today!! I am elated!! Rejected last cycle. Anyone who has interviewed before have any advice for what to review for the basic anatomy and physiology exam we have to take??? The U is my top choice. Time to dust off the ol’ text books. Good luck everyone!!! Hey congratulations on getting an II! I interviewed last year and was accepted into the program. I pulled out my old undergrad anatomy lecture manual (BYU). I ran through that during the 2 weeks before the interview so it was all fresh on my mind. I can honestly say out of 125 questions that I reviewed and had fresh on my mind about 50% of the specific questions! I wouldn't have known those answers without it, though I could have made educated guesses. I went through every single small detail. I really think that is the thing that got me into the program! I bombed a few of the MMIs but had a really strong score on the test. You can do this! I know almost everyone will tell you there is no way to really prepare for it, but my opinion is different. It is also motivating to know that the interview score difference between the #50 candidate (who gets accepted) and the #75(who doesnt get accepted) is only one or two points. Get all of the interview points you can. Best of luck to you! This is an amazing program and I still feel like I'm dreaming. I'm hoping to see you around campus at some point!
