From the email, it seems like it will be an individual interview with a faculty member... Also in the information session, they mentioned a 1:1 interview so that's my guess.... but I am not 100% sure, it was not super clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidlily12 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Anyone who got confirmation on 06/29 from Arcadia that they received their application get an invite for an interview? I think it's mainly people who got confirmation in early to mid June that are getting interview offers right now, but I just wanted to check and see if anyone from late June got an interview invite!

I think people drastically underestimate the importance of the personal statement and additional aspects such as extracurriculars in addition to the numbers on paper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no way to know! Maybe you are right! Although, I am a reapplicant and completely reconstructed my personal statement and that did not help me with Arcadia unfortunately. Maybe they are looking for applicants with "diverse" experiences and backgrounds instead of just looking at the basic statistics.

Maybe they are looking for applicants with "diverse" experiences and backgrounds instead of just looking at the basic statistics. I guess there really is no way to know... All of that certainly plays a role for most programs. You get to a certain point in the applicant pool where you have say 200 students that look like, on a paper at least, they will do well in a PA program and pass the PANCE (which is ultimately what a program is looking for). The question then becomes what makes you stand out? Then at a certain level, it becomes luck of the draw and a numbers game as was alluded to. I can say that I've heard back from 5 schools with 3 interviews and 2 rejections and the 2 schools that rejected me I would have thought would be the easiest schools to get into. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatmeal77 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 They look at more than stats. The quality of the experiences, letters of recommendation and essays have to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statistics matter, but it is ultimately a "numbers" game and what each program is looking for. Focusing on what you makes you different and original certainly plays a huge role during the admissions process! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
