PAhopeful2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hey everyone! Submitted my application last cycle with just 3 days left due to when grades were posted (!!!) and got an interview/waitlisted. Applied again this cycle and met priority deadline and my application is currently under review. Keep up the hard work and good vibes, we've got this! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltaformation3 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi everyone! I have my interview on the 15th. I wanted to ask if anyone knows whether there will be other candidates during the interview/any group activities? I know sometimes that is the case in MMI interviews in which there is one group station. However I'm not sure if Yale would have that, especially with the online format.

AZFuturePA Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hi all! I'm a little late to the forum, but I just wanted to say I looked at the application cycle from last year and it looks like decisions from the first interviews took about two weeks. Just thought I'd drop that here for anyone else who is stressing over the timeline like me. Good luck to all who interviewed today! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyandhopeful Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 For those people that interviewed today, way to go!! Go relax and feel super proud of yourself for what you accomplished just in getting an interview! I know the website says 6 10 minute MMI interviews and I was wondering if they let you take notes during the 2 minutes of reading over the prompt at the beginning? Also, obviously I know you can’t share specifics but did you guys feel you like the MMI more than a regular interview format? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylrmchl Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 After the interview, I felt overall really confident on how I did. Is it normal though to second guess yourself after something this important? Maybe I am just playing mind games with myself by only thinking of ways I could have done better. I also think a part of it is still the fact that I do not look like their student profile. Any advice on how to navigate these feelings? p.s thanks for all the support on the day of the interview. High key being vulnerable right now and sharing that I received 19 rejections last cycle. Really need a win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High key being vulnerable right now and sharing that I received 19 rejections last cycle. Really need a win. I can completely understand how you feel!! Last year when I interviewed I did the exact same thing... replay everything I said over and over and convince myself that I could have answered each question in a much better way. I think it’s normal! I think in the end you have to just trust that you did everything you could have (far easier said than done I know). I also know that YPAO places a high value on diversity, so I wouldn’t worry about not looking like their student profile! Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High key being vulnerable right now and sharing that I received 19 rejections last cycle. Really need a win. Not sure if this helps, but admission people are human too. They're not perfect and know that no applicant is perfect. Last year, after my interview, I sent a note to the wrong person to thank them. SO my second interview started with , "Do you know what you did?" HUGELY embarrassing (I posted about it last year as CLBluebonnet). There are other stories embedded as well from then-interviewees and now members of my cohort. Second-guessing is normal, but they picked you for a reason. I wish you the best in this process!

tx808 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Do we need to submit a resume this cycle? I know there was one last year but I don't see it in CASPA this time.

Something came up for one of my letter writers and I didn't want my app seen without her letter (which will come in today). It looks like everyone is hearing back pretty quickly whether its interview invites or rejections. Also, do you know if we need to submit a resume this cycle? I know there was one last year but I don't see it in CASPA this time. Thanks, guys and good luck to everyone! I’m in the same boat. I missed the deadline as well, but I’m still hoping to hear back.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I love these types of discussions where you can get a feel for who the directors are as people. It definitely helps to reduce a little of the anxiety around potentially interviewing. Has anyone that got verified around 6/1 heard back for interviews or rejections? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK1993 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I just interviewed! To anyone second guessing themselves, that’s totally natural and something we all do. All you can do is your best. If you or I aren’t accepted, it’s easy I think to take it personally, because it feels like they didn’t like us. But we truly do not know why we are or are not accepted. All we can do is our best and if we fail, follow up with honest self-reflection and feedback from others. This is all easier said than done and I’ll definitely have to re-read my own post if I get a rejection notice! good luck everyone. You’re all amazing people. As important as all of this is to each of us, don’t let it consume your identity. There’s so much more to who you are than a PA applicant! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to “prepare” for, which makes for a lot of stress (for me at least) leading up to the interview. But at the same, once it started I felt really comfortable and like I could be myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashierCaitlyn Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Good afternoon! I completed my interviews last week and looking forward to the post interview this week with current students. Hopefully they give admission decisions and interviews to those of you anxiously waiting VERY soon! Praying I get an acceptance and we are all classmates this next cohort! One day at a time!
