mandyq Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Has anyone heard recently? Are all interview invites sent out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDtoPrePA Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I just received a rejection, not even an opportunity to interview this round. I am unsure as to why given I am already a dietitian, have a 3.7 GPA in the sciences, have over 2500+ hours of PCE, and have worked in healthcare for almost 7 years in both clinical positions and administrative. I also received recommendation letters from a Hospitalist, PA, graduate school director, etc. Does anyone mind sharing stats? Super disappointed.

But they felt I would be a strong candidate for their PharmD program, Master of Acupuncture, and Accelerated Nursing program. Super disappointing. 3.0 Overall 3.48 Science with last 60 being 3.66 447 PCE as EMT which is on the lower side, but I have incredible experience in my previous life that brings a lot to the table. Still waiting for interviews from my top two choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDtoPrePA Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm sorry to hear that. I am pretty sure that part of the email regarding being a strong candidate for other programs is a canned email response because two of us received it as well. It's frustrating because I want to be a PA, not a pharmacist or RN. Just need to keep on trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kinds of questions were asked? I interviewed 10/13 at 3pm. They had us sign on (6) and gave us an overview. then they moved us to breakout rooms to interview one on one (about 30 min) then they brought us back into the overview room and summed everything up, said decisions can take up to 30 days (bc covid) and that was it! super laid back and fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjthepa Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I just checked my portal from the 10/13 interview and it says I was accepted. No email yet but hoping that’s a good sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePaDream7 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Has anyone else from the 10/13 interview heard back yet if they were accepted?? How do we know if we were declined ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my portal this morning as well and saw an acceptance but no email either! Guessing the emails are a little delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarissaC2 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I was waitlisted from 10/13 interview ....I am so excited still because that means still an opportunity. Does anyone know if they rank waitlist students or have an order that they pull from? Also if they take a lot of people from their waitlist? I can't remember if this was discussed. Thanks in advance, and congrats to all that have gotten accepted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is the case for you, as well! Any tips for the interviewing process? TIA! I was waitlisted as well! There might be a higher chance since we interviewed earlier. Plus they have a Jan start so I think more people might be pulled off of waitlist. It can be such a numbers game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interviewing January 21 and preparing through mock interviews with other pre-PA students. Any ethical questions/tricky ones that you weren't expecting? I was under the impression it was one-on-one the entire time! I just want to walk into this interview as confident as possible. Best of luck to everyone in this cycle, you all should be very proud of yourselves to even be in the position to apply to PA programs! I just had my interview today (November 5th). It started with an introduction to the program and what the interview process was going to look like, then we broke into our 1:1 faculty interviews for 30 minutes, then were brought back as a group to do closing statements. It was a very smooth process, and everyone was very nice and professional! Edited November 10, 2020 by SarahD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryshortal Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I got an interview invitation on 11/9/20! However, the only opening spot is was February anyone else have a late interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I read on some of the other pages for MCPHS that for this application cycle, some applicants scheduled interviews for the start of 2021. So, I think that people are receiving late interviews. Don't be discouraged; it is still great they offered you an interview invite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastudent5 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Just received interview invitation today. I picked Jan 21st as my interview day. They had opening for few spots in Feb, so I guess they will be sending more invites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
