interview question

[snnypa1]

So, i have had 3 interviews thus far and each of them asked me, If you don't get accepted what do you plan to do for next cycle?

Is this a common question to be asked / is it a bad sign?????

I am nervous they ask because they will prob deny me.

For me, I would say work on my direct patient care hours to keep priming myself for a PA program... i have all the classes done, and there's really nothing else I can do!

Typical question. They want to see how fast you get up when you are knocked down.

They invited you for an interview, didn't they? Try having a little more self-confidence!

Very common question. Are you planning to hang it up and move on to Plan B or work to be a better applicant next time (a couple of classes, more PCE, etc)?
