AshRRT Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Rejected (with no interview) today as well. Not sure what they are looking for as I have done nothing but improve my application from last year and received an interview last year? There are tons more applicants this year so I’m sure it’s just that much more competitive! Good luck to everyone and don’t let a rejection get you down! Look at it as a sign and move forward!

ccrodriguez Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hello Everyone! I'm Cintia! I am from California and I work as a medical assistant. I submitted my application on June 1st. This is my first application cycle! After so many years of being out of school, I feel more ready than ever to embark on my dream career as a PA! I am feeling quite nervous, but excited!! Wishing everyone positive vibes, and many interviews to come! How are you all preparing for interviews? I bought a book via Amazon to help me prepare, but I am also interested in hearing how you're all preparing. Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/Physician-Assistant-School-Interview-Guide/dp/1732076006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really sorry to hear that. Keep your head up, and I am wishing you the best with your other applications/cycles. This is not an easy process, and there is a steep learning curve.

Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/Physician-Assistant-School-Interview-Guide/dp/1732076006 I used a lot of The PA Platforms stuff, including mock interview and their interview course. I found then helpful helpful in building self-confidence and forcing to me to reflect on past experiences, which is about as good of prep you can do for an MMI (imo); they’re so hard to prep for! The again, I guess that’s kind of the point? You’re supposed to just be yourself. Easier said than done in such a high stakes situation!

I used the PA Platform resources as well, including this book! I found the book and mock interview helpful by boosting my confidence before the actual interview. I also will say there is nothing you can truly study for. A mentor of mine told me to be myself and to relax because no one knows myself better than me. I live by this advice, especially with MMI style interviews. We have all worked SO hard to get to this point, so I understand the pressure of wanting to prepare as much as possible. The best advice I could give with this format of interview is try your best to be confident, be you, and hopefully we are all offered acceptances!

tx808 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Did anyone submit a resume? This was suggested last cycle but I don't see info on it this time around unless I'm missing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an amazing program, hope to join y'all a year or so later Bummer! I know that MANY people don't get in on their first application/interview. I interviewed last year and did not get in, hoping the interview the process this year is more successful. Did you do an interview or get a rejection after review?

I missed the priority deadline by a couple weeks last year and still got an interview (The interview was late July, I think). Good job getting in in so early in the application cycle though! It's hard to get everything done right after CASPA opens. Good luck!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous in the “waiting room”, but trying to stay busy, lol. Just remember that no matter what, we made it to the interview and that speaks volumes. Be proud of yourself for every step along the way. We WILL be PAs, it’s a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ . We’ll keep encouraging one another just like we would as a cohort and celebrate our accomplishments along the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goosecharger Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Anyone have a rough timeline on when we should hear back on decisions from the first round of interviews? The post-interview session was really great and drew me in even more to the program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our small groups the students said we would probably hear something in the next few days! I wonder why they had everyone attend that information session if some are going to get denials after?? Just hoping they accept all of us that attended !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from last years forum I think people heard anywhere from the Tuesday to Thursday following the post interview session. Just read all 100 something pages of the forum and that’s the pattern I saw . It seems like they are already doing thing slightly differently this year so who knows! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad a few of us spent the time going through all 100 pages . I loved how supportive and encouraging everyone was, it was great to see those who got acceptances were already well on their way to being friends before class had even started. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
