cvkme 3 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Got an interview invite! I’m so hype!!!! In two cycles, this is my first one and I really love what this program offers. The interview is only 15 mins though so I’m concerned about getting everything right in those 15 mins... Any insight into how the interviews have been would be great! Like if it’s more conversational or do they grill you idk but anything would be helpful! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sloffee 24 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Does anyone know anything about how the separate campuses work (PA vs. DE)? I read something online about how students at the DE campus have to commute to the PA campus for classes sometimes (~90 minutes?). Not sure if this is true or not?

My interview was conversational, and the professor who interviewed me was very friendly! I was definitely nervous because 15 minutes is a very short interview especially for PA school, but the interview was more relaxed than I thought it would be. Good luck!

SarahD 13 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 For people who already interviewed, how long did it take to hear about an admissions decision? I interviewed for the dual MPH/PA program, and at the end of my interview I was told I would hear back from Arcadia in about 2 weeks. It has been 3 weeks and I still haven't heard back from them.. I'm starting to become concerned! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm starting to become concerned! I was told 2-3 weeks, and I just hit the 2 week mark. Still no news yet, but I was told the dual degree decisions may take longer! Hopefully we’ll hear back any day now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My interviewer did not tell me that the dual degree decisions may take slightly longer, so thank you for letting me know! Hopefully we will hear back any day now; waiting for an admissions decision is definitely anxiety-producing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm very anxious too! They said hopefully before the holidays, but I didn't know if that meant Thanksgiving or sometime in December. Hopefully soon!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fez98 0 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hey guys! I'm currently on the waitlist and have accrued about 800 additional hours since I applied and want to inform Arcadia of this. If I update my experiences section in CASPA will the schools I applied to automatically get notified? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anxiety is at an all time max I interviewed 11/9 and have still not heard anything, although my faculty interviewer said I should hear back from Arcadia in about 2 weeks. So I totally understand your anxiety! If we don't hear anything, does that automatically mean that we are rejected? Edited December 6, 2020 by SarahD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had to update my hours after submitting my app because I completely spaced out and miscalculated my hours, and I sent an email to each school I had applied to up until that point. They also confirmed receipt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I updated my application before submitting to Arcadia, so I didn’t need to email them. You could try reaching out to Marybeth Smith: smithme@arcadia.edu. Her email address was on the general PA program info session invitation as a “reply to” address. I hope that helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a bummer, but there is still a chance we will be moved off the waitlist and be accepted into the program. Congratulations to those receiving acceptances for the PA program and dual degree program; it's very exciting! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
