Hi everyone! I was curious if there are any current students or alumni on this page that could point me in the right direction. I am trying to do research on the school and the benefits of the program or some great opportunities they offer (ie clinicals, cadaver labs, scholarships, community engagement programs, etc) and I haven't found much information. Anyone have any ideas on where to look? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Best of luck to yall in this crazy (but hopefully rewarding!) process.

I interviewed 08/05 and just received an email this morning that I was waitlisted as well. Anyone received an official acceptance or rejection? I’ve only seen waitlists on here. Good luck, everyone.

I know two people personally who have been accepted

Hi all! I was just offered an interview for 8/21 and was wondering if any of you all who have already interviewed had some tips! I am a first time applicant, and this is my first PA school interview so I’m a bit nervous and would appreciate any guidance 😁

They asked us not to give out details so everyone comes in as blind as possible. I will say this has been my most challenging interview process thus far. For me, it was hard to give unique answers and the way it’s set up makes it hard to know which parts you are being evaluated on and which parts you can be “at ease”... at least for me, which take with a grain of salt because I am very neurotic lol.
