I read somewhere that some applicants are getting supplemental questions. I am applying with a gpa in the low 3.0s, but have experience as a scribe, pt aide and a lot of volunteer work in the ER. I got the same email. I didn't hear about a supplemental application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorder5 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I got an email on 6/14 that my casper & CASPA app was received & they would send an email when my app is officially under review. I still haven't gotten that email about it being under review.. anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally emailed them and asked, and they said they had sent me the "under review" email at the end of June! I definitely did not receive it and received their previous emails so that made me super nervous that I'm missing all kinds of emails from schools haha. They resent it to me when I said I didn't get it. Wonder if it was their system and this happened to multiple people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizEstrada Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hi everybody! I know interviews are not till mid November and we're not notified if we get an interview till October. But I would like to practice on mock interviews, public speaking, interview tips, etc. in the mean time. I thought there was mock interviews available through PrePA advising at the U, but I can't seem to find it on their website. Can someone help me if that's still available? I would appreciate any feedback on any other resources regarding preparing for an interview. Thank you in advance and good luck to everyone!

EvanDSmith84 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I would appreciate any feedback on any other resources regarding preparing for an interview. Liz EstradaLiz,Check out Savannah Perry's book (https://books.google.com/books/about/Physician_Assistant_School_Interview_Gui.html?id=-pKkswEACAAJ&source=kp_book_description). I interviewed at two schools last cycle and was waitlisted at both. I just had my first interview of this cycle and I felt like I performed much better after reading Savannah's book.If you decide not to buy the book, one good tip I learned is to write down three attributes that you want your interviewers to know about you and find ways to show those traits. Also to go into the interview assuming that they have not looked at your application, but you also don't want to just re-state your application.Best of luck with your applications!

Liz Estrada I called the PrePA office at the U last week about mock interviews. They said they are still figuring out how to do them for this year. She said to keep an eye on the PPA advising events page on their website. That is where they will post info about mock interviews (if they end up doing them!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer01 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 This is the only school I applied to due to finances. I'm hoping I get in, but what's the best way to handle rejection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloresPA Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 As a second time applicant, I think the best way to handle rejection is to not give up! Keep working hard and improve your application all around. Know that it is not an easy road and that your time will come. Good luck!

acorder5 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 In their last email they said interviews are in November, so they will begin sending out invites mid October. Im thinking itll be a couple more weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandyq Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Do we think they are going to keep the interviews in person?? I saw they had that in the email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
