Strawmaryblonde Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thank you so much!! Did you hear back from them yet? Enjoy the experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyfish135 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 No problem! I am currently on the alternate list and hoping for the best. Midwestern was awesome and, compared to my other interviews, was the most laid-back. You spend a good portion of the day with your specific group before the actual interview which allows for the nerves to settle just a little bit :smile:. All in all, I had a fantastic experience.

Mariam410 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hello future PAs! I have an interview this Friday and was hoping someone could help ease this anxiety a little. Was there only a group interview? No individual interview? I have never had a group interview before and don't really know what to expect. Do we each get a chance to answer the same question? Or are they more personalized questions directed at each candidate? Also what type of group activity is there? I am imagining it will be some type of ethical or problem solving assignment we will have to solve together, am I on the right track? Thank you so much for your time. Any help would really be appreciated. Good luck everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawmaryblonde Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Mariam410, Yes it is a group interview, about 4 students:2 faculty. I felt the same way you did, was nervous going in, and immediately felt at ease. The kids in my group were more encouraging to one another, and it didn't feel super competitive or anything. I had Dr. Noronha (prgm director) and the biochem teacher and they were both relaxed, down to earth, and fun. Basically they ask you questions about why you chose the field, experiences, and other questions about yourself. Just be confident! I think they just wanna know there's more to you than just medicine, and that you have an understanding of the career path. you all have to answer each question, they just change up the order your turn is. You get to answer first, last, and in between, so try not to repeat what others have said :) Not really any group activity, just a writing assignment beforehand. you get to sit in on a class! and get a tour with current students and eat lunch with them and your group. I enjoyed myself, and was accepted! Hope this helps---you can do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muchi Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I also interviewed December 7th and haven't had a decision. I called last them last week. I know they have accepted some of the people from my interview date and from later interview dates but they told me they still haven't made a decision on some of the candidates yet. So keep hoping for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shnooks952 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Anyone know how long interviews go for??? I still haven't heard anything, not an email not even a rejection letter since October!!! Should I basically just assume I'll eventually receive that rejection letter and start preparing to take the GRE again and create a stronger app?

onil22 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hey shnooks, Im in the same boat as you. Haven't heard anything. I dont think it would hurt to start preparing for the GRE again, but dont lose hope just yet though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie05 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Gave up my seat last week! Someone should get good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnooks952 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I just can't believe we still haven't heard anything. I'm starting to think it's a lost cause this year though because I heard they interview only up through February... but yeah I guess who knows right??
