PA student TN Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It is an impressive school isn't it! No breaks? Is this uncommon for PA schools?Did you get in? I'm wondering how much of the class is filled? where else are you interviewing? I am in the 2012 class and we do have breaks between semesters and during the semesters. We had a 10 day break between Summer and Fall semester (and a week of during the Fall semester to go to TAPA - it is not mandatory so you can go to the conference or you can use the time to study or do whatever you want). Also, 2 weeks off for Xmas and New Year. During Spring we will have a week of to go to DC for a conference and Spring break in April. This course is only 27 month long, full time...so don't expect to have tons of breaks. Even if you have one you may be using it to catch up with lectures and readings. PA school is no joke, you may sleep only 2-3hrs per night and still feel like you wished you had a 48hr day instead of 24 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaPA Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 annabug, I can't find that group on FB anywhere! Did you just put that in the search box on the homepage? I found the DO webpage for nothing for PA students? It would be nice to get acquainted with some of the fellow students before arrival!. Hey guys! Just in case you didn't see my other post I wanted to let you know that there is a Facebook group for LMU class of 2013. I'm holding off joining until I make my decision but you guys that know for sure can join. I found it under the title Lincoln Memorial DCOM Physician Assistant 2013.

annabug Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 That's weird. When I typed it into the search box I couldn't find it. I tried several times! Thankfully, I bookmarked it. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_181811115176196 If you join, maybe you should email the guy who created it and tell him something is wrong with the search of the group. I may be joining you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabug Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 MamaPA, did you ever find that facebook group? That's weird that it doesn't show up in the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaPA Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I know! I bookmarked it like you did but I still don't get it to come up in search; I have to use the link. And I thought I was relatively proficient with FB! LOL I think they had about 7 or 8 members the last time I looked. I haven't joined yet. Are you any closer to making a decision about where you will be going? How long do you have to decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabug Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Really laid back. They'll ask you a few easy questions. You'll chat a bit about your application. You may ask questions if you like. Nothing to fear and no essay to write (at least that's how it was when I interviewed!) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredcliche Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks! Is it a group or individual interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabug Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's individual with a small amt. of time spent in a group. I think (I might be confusing it with other interviews!) It's not stressful at all. No worries! Thanks! Is it a group or individual interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenderson48852 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Mwilli5009....What is your name so I can know someone before that day? My name is Courtney and I look foward to meeting you. I heard from a PA student there that the interviews are very relaxed and they are just trying to get to know you. I have visited the school and it is top notch amazing. The labs are great and the people are very sweet. Sumya.e you will have to let us know how your interview goes and make sure that you are very social!!!

theredcliche Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I interviewed last week. The interview was very relaxed and they asked basic interview questions. They try their best to make you feel relaxed before your interview and it really is not as intimidating as it seems. Apparently all the profs are at the TAPA conference this week, so I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for them to call me and (hopefully!!!) accept me.

Mwilli5009 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi Courtney! My name is Matt! I'm definitely looking forward to the interview process. I've heard it is very laid back and I have heard nothing but positive things about the school from students and friends who have interviewed this cycle. @theredcliche: Just to inform you, a friend in my organic class who interviewed with your group hasn't heard anything either, so don't stress over it!
