PiperBrad Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks!! The interview process was great, there were only eight of us so we got to know each other well. Basically, I think the board is looking to see how you act in a group setting. It was emphasized by multiple staff members that they select candidates whom they think will work well together.

shawba08 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 gobuffs1996, Caspa just mailed my application yesterday or this morning. I completed my Caspa application 9-25 and my gre scores were sent to OHSU on 9-12. I dont know how long it takes for them to send a confirmation email that they have everything. I called last week to confirm an appropriate pre-req course and they did have my supplemental application. I didnt ask about my gre scores but I hope to receive an email today that they have all the materials needed to begin reviewing my application. I wonder if anyone else knows the turnaround times for this. I am getting a little anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalameda Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hey just wanted to see if anyone else was given the status as an "early alternate." and what are my chances of being accepted now? Of those of you who interviewed... how many of the alternates did they take last year? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risktaker Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 lalameda, when did you interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagildersleeve Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 And lalameda, how/when did you hear of your status? Email or phone? My understanding is that right now, as an early alternate, things are probably looking ok for you. It sounds like the Adcom meets twice a month to discuss candidates; anyone who has a status as an "early alternate" is looked at each session as a potential candidate for the class; so, really, you could be accepted next week, or you could be kept as an early alternate until February, at which point they would put you on the waitlist. It's hard to tell your chances, so to speak, so if you liked OHSU, I would just keep hoping for the best, and pursue other options in the meantime. Best of luck to you!!!

Lyn6 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Haven't seen any recent posts on here...anyone know if all the seats are filled or interviews are all done? I haven't gotten notice either way for an interview, so I don't know what to think at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagildersleeve Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I am not positive, but I believe interviews are going through January. Since the interviews are purposefully composed of small groups (6-8 candidates per interview session), they have a lot of them. Final class selections are made by February, and at that time an official waitlist is generated as well. So, I think it's safe to say that since you haven't gotten a rejection letter yet, you're probably still in the running for an interview. Good luck Lyn6!

sartort Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have an interview Dec 13th. The e-mail said "We will be adding January dates as interview options, but for now we are only scheduling up through December 13.� Please keep in mind the OHSU PA Program utilizes rolling admissions. Interviews occur September through January and positions in the class will be filled as interviews progress." That e-mail was sent out on Oct. 23rd.
