MamaPA Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Don't fret annabug! It took a while to get the letter. If you are concerned, call Susan. She can tell you if the letter has gone out or not. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aschaale2158 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I got a call today for an interview. Mine is December 9th. The lady mentioned interviews after the new year so I'm sure they'll be interviewing for a while longer. Good luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaPA Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Got my letter today! I was afraid it was lost in the mail because I got the acceptance call 3 weeks ago! I told you not to worry! :) Have you thought any more about housing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabug Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I told you not to worry! :) Have you thought any more about housing? No, I'm still trying to decide between two schools! If I got to LMU I think I'd like the apartments on campus. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aschaale2158 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks greyoctober! The interview went well, and I was really impressed with the school. One of the aspects of LMU that I liked the most was that they incorporate some of the Osteopathic Manipulation Method into their PA program, which is extremely unique. (I'm not sure if any other schools have this) LMU was probably my last choice before interviewing, but now it's likely my first. The only downside to it is that the program starts 9 days after I graduate and there aren't any breaks in between blocks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschaale2158 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'll probably find out in another week if I made it in. As far as not having breaks between blocks, I don't know if that's common. I haven't had an interview at any other school yet. The others that I've applied to are Trevecca and South College. South doesn't start their interviews until after Jan. 1, and I haven't heard anything back from Trevecca. Where else have you interviewed/applied?

mdsmith0429 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey guys. I'm currently in the first year at LMU. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask. I saw the previous messages about breaks in between blocks...are you talking about breaks between the clinical blocks or the breaks between semesters? aschaale...have you heard anything yet? I was the "unofficial" student rep while the others were taking their exam that day and we talked for a couple minutes after your interview. Mamapa...sorry hadn't replied to your last message, but I'm glad you enjoyed your bone pathology lecture that day. For all those looking for housing, before we started we created a facebook page so we could all got to know each other and everyone shared housing information with each other and found roomates long before school even started...just an idea. Anyway, congratulations to all. Next May will be here before you know it. Enjoy your free time while you can! :) Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabug Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Aschaale, I applied/interviewed at Trevecca, Harding, Musc, South Ala. mark,I'd appreciate any info you can give me! How has it been for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschaale2158 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hey Mark! Thanks for your help last Thursday. It was good to meet you. I was referring to there being no breaks between the semesters...am I right about that? I haven't heard anything yet. I think they'll let me know something in the next week or so. So hard to wait! :) Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsmith0429 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 If I remember right, we had about 5 or 6 days between summer and fall semesters, and now three weeks for Christmas break. I think they have mentioned we will have about a week between spring and next summer and then a week between the end of didactic and the start of rotations. They definitely try their best to get us the most time they can towards the end of the semesters. Annabug...so far so good. It's definitely a lot of studying. The material isn't difficult but it is a lot of volume. I like how everything in a block is related. The stuff we learn in pharm is related to the stuff we learn in clin med is related to our physio...you get the point. It definitely makes it all appicable to each other instead of jumping from topic to topic among courses like some other schools. And the faculty is down to earth and does everything they can to help you succeed as long as you put the effort in. If you have any specific questions, just ask!

aschaale2158 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I was put on the alternate list, which is a little disappointing, but it gives me time to hear from the other schools I applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyoctober Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 how do you know? i still haven't been contacted. and i interviewed before you. so i guess that means i was rejected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaPA Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 I am planning a trip to Harrogate in a couple of weeks to go apartment hunting. I will let you all know if I find any particularly useful nuggets of information. I am recovering from my unexpected Christmas present; gall bladder surgery so out of commission for a couple of days. Yuck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdsmith0429 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 annabug...sorry, was away from the internet for a week. Right now, if you want to do rotations close to home, you have to set them up yourselves (find a doc or PA to precept you, then the school does all the paperwork). If you don't find your own rotations, then the school will just put you wherever there is an opening. The shool has an affiliation with Yale University, so if it is still there for you guys then you can do 6 of the 12 months up in Connecticut (OB/Gyn, surgery, internal medicine, peds? and ortho?). Long term care is in Harrogate, ortho is pretty much in Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City, emergency medicine is in Cleveland or Kingsport, TN. Hope this helps!

annabug Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 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.
