Did anyone else who got confirmed 6/9 not get an interview yet? Based on last year’s thread i’m already losing hope 😔 

Also confirmed on 6/9 no response as of yet. Rutgers is my alma mater graduated in 1998 with a masters in biostats. Worked in stats supporting clinical trials in the pharma industry for almost 20yrs. Embarking on a career change & decided to go the PA route. The decision was brought on by a personal experience caring for an aging parent & my desire to fill a void in the geriatric community. I’m a pharmacy technician as well with an understanding of med math (dosage calculation), brand/generic & to which drug classification they belong in preparation for my new career as a PA. Recently worked in a COVID-19 vaccination clinic pulling doses alongside PAs. Good luck to all of us awaiting an interview invite!

I haven’t heard anything either! They said in the email they would inform us one way or another so I wouldn’t lose hope yet! It seems in previous years they sent out interview invites on multiple dates  not just in batches!
