PAkatl Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I would love to hear from current UTRGV PA students! 1) What is your favorite part of attending UTRGV? / Why did you choose to attend UTRGV? 2) What resources are available for students to succeed while in PA school? (office hours, tutoring sessions, cadaver lab, student organizations, etc) 3) What is the student culture like at UTRGV? Thank you so much in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrr2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hey guys - So just like last year, they've asked us not to give out information regarding the interview process to protect the integrity of their program and the way that they conduct the interviews, which I totally respect as those of us who were the first group to interview had no idea what to expect. I can say the following: it will be over zoom, just as you were notified in your invitation email. They are very proficient at zoom so if you're worried about that process, don't be. It will be fine. You will get an email a day or two before with a link and a schedule. Prepare like you would for any other interview. Hope that helps. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulPAC2021 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Super random question.. what was your background during the interview? Would it be okay if we did it in our bedroom with our bed in the background? And what did you all wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could tell, it was only the faculty that used the zoom features to change their backgrounds. I'm assuming it would be OK for you to do that as well, but sometimes those backgrounds are weird and finicky. I, myself, was in my bedroom. I set up an area with a comfortable chair and made sure my background wasn't busy or distracting. Dress as you would for an in person interview.
