LNNDIOSA Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! Congratulations on your interview invites! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. I thought I'd start this thread so we'd have a chance to introduce ourselves and warm up to each other prior to interview day!

This is my second time interviewing for the Medex Seattle campus. I interviewed last year but was unfortunately not given a seat. Looking back, I was not as prepared as I should have been. Did a lot of growing since then and I'm excited for this second chance! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudonym Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Great idea! What an exciting time! Where are y'all from? Are you as tickled/existentially nervous as I am about this interview? I actually live about a mile away from the UW and have been in Seattle for over a decade, but I am originally from Yakima, WA.

PAgehopeful Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hello! I will be interviewing this day also! I am originally from Oakland, CA. but moved to the Seattle-Tacoma area 8 years ago for school! I'd love to do a zoom meet up before the interview to calm some of my nerves! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Definitely nervous, but also excited! I've grown up in Bothell, WA and went to UW Seattle for undergrad. This is my first time applying. Looking forward to connecting with you all! I second the Zoom idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily5771 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm from Bellingham, WA! Can't believe I got an interview. Go us! I know a couple of PAs that went to the UW PA program. Their advice for interview day was to seriously be yourself! We can't mess up too bad then right? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNNDIOSA Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Question- did you guys end up going to take passport photos? Or did you just take them yourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudonym Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I sent in one that I took myself against a white wall. It seems like it was accepted? Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily5771 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'll definitely just be taking it myself...but really don't want it to look like a selfie. Seems like plenty of people just do it themselves on portrait mode on their phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know we all had the same thought with this. My walls at home are an off yellow. I threw it back to 5th grade science fair and used one of those tri-fold poster boards. Whatever it takes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kprepag Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi everyone! I'm from Texas, & I will also be interviewing on 11/7. For those who have interviewed with MEDEX before, what is the format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNNDIOSA Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Hi! Last year, I believe we received a snail mail letter with our interview invitation along with what to expect on interview day. The confirmation email (the one we receive after sending our confirmation of attendance) indicates that conference documents will be sent out a few days prior to interview day! We had 3 interviews total. Each time with 2 other interviewees and 2 interviewers from faculty/staff. We also had a student panel and a group activity. Overall I sensed that the school genuinely wants to get to know you as a person. I would say be yourself, the best and authentic version of you! I think that a current student posted the format on the main thread for this year if you want to check out their advice/take on it as well!
