helpmebeaPA Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 What kind of questions were asked during your interview and how long is the interview itself? I received an email stating the interview will be an hour, which includes the check in and orientation. 23 hours ago, sabhad said: declined my offer of admission, hope this opens up a spot for one of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience with the interview was just blah. It was literally "tell me abt a time where...." Its up to you to keep the convo going or u will sink lol my interviewer never really added to my statements she just moved onto the next question so it was a bit awkward and i felt at the end that she didn't know anything about me but i still somehow got accepted lol best of luck! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar experience although my questions were not situational, but definitely not traditional like the past interviews lol. Super pumped to be accepted though!

Super pumped to be accepted though! Congrats! are your accepting your offer? so I decided to decline my offer. Didn't really like the large class size and just superficial nature of this university. Like how do you accept students you don't take the time to get to know or interview thoroughly? they never got to know me or my goals or my life story... I was just asked robotic questions and am pretty sure I got accepted just bc of my high GPA. Overall didn't feel a connection with this university tbh so that's why i decided to decline. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabhad Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 8 minutes ago, dean227 said: I interviewed Friday and felt like I didn’t learn about the school and their program. It’s a shame cause they had a difference in their curriculum but didn’t really elaborate much besides stating they incorporate western and eastern medicine. Congrats to all those accepted!! Exactly i 100% agree. The interview just didn't get me excited about this program at all and it was kind of a first glance about what it's going to be like to be 1/97 students here so i just couldn't go through with it a shame bc i really wanted to go somewhere warm lol but i'm thankful I have another acceptance to fall back on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrePA2020to21 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I had my interview this morning and it went well. The person who interviewed me was amazing! I'm so glad I had a wonderful opportunity with this program! Truly so thankful!! I wish I wasn't limited with the questions and time spent with my interviewer.. I hope she got a good understanding for who I am. I forgot to mention all my volunteer experience because of the way my questions were structured, but I still hope I stood out to them! It's unfortunate that some interviewers had a bad experience with this program. I'm from the local area, so I've heard great things about Western and my interview experience with them went great, as well. I'm so anxious for the decisions to come out! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA2020to21 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 For those that got in, how soon did you hear back from the program? I think they send out the majority of decisions in March, but for those who particularly stood out to them got to hear back sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilenia Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi guys! I applied to this program back in July and have yet to hear back anything. Is anyone on the same boat? Is it worth emailing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also local and have my interview on March 4. I was wondering if you would be able to give insight on if the whole interview ended up taking around 1 hour like the email said? Was a little confused on the process with check in times and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you log in to zoom, you will be with other candidates while they take role then they will send you to your interview room where you will interview with 1-2 faculty. You will be asked 4 questions and you have 5 minutes to answer every question. It is seriously so fast. I have to maintain the integrity of the questions obviously, but my best advice is to have like 5 personal stories that you can relate to ANYTHING they may ask you. If you can find a way to relate your responses, no matter what the question, to why that’s going to make you a successful PA student/ why you’re ready for PA school or why you want to be a PA, they will love that! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
