coocaro Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I picked October 18th to interview since I had a conflict for the 4th. CASPA has me at 3.59 science and 3.7 non-science. I sent my application in with 800 hours as a patient care technician at a hospital. 77% verbal, 69% quantitative and a 4.0 on writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Congrats to all and good luck to everyone still waiting!! Finally all that waiting is paying off!! Next step is the interview! My stats: UMass Dartmouth, 2011 CASPA overall gpa: 3.63, CASPA science: 3.61 >2500 hours HCE as a clinical laboratory scientist (med tech), phlebotomist, and research assistant (and a little volunteer here and there) And I just received acceptance for a publication on my senior thesis (clinical case study) from my clinical at MGH senior year in college! Anyone else from the Boston area applying? I'm from about 15 mins north of Boston, anyone else close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emedina88 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'll be there on the 4th! This is the most exciting news! I cant wait to see you there, Dchuk22! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emedina88 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hyperbaric technologist?! I bet that was amazing experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagildersleeve Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 It's been amazing, I LOVE what I'm doing - hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a really cool branch of medicine, if anyone is interested about hearing more about it, send me a message, there are HBO centers popping up in hospitals all over the country, and they are always needing techs! You just need to have a pre-existing certification in the medical field to get in, and you can work in the field while you are completing your certification to become a hyperbaric tech. Seriously though, not a bad gig, and GREAT experience with patient care - you get to know your patients really well, get to do patient education, wound care, and definitely deal with emergencies (just last week one of my patients coded in the chamber, but we managed to get him back, woohoo!)

jrausch1 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I just got an e-mail saying my application is under review. Any idea how long it takes them to review apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTC 526 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I received the same email August 22nd. Anyone have an idea? My guess is that it should be any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just a matter of time for everyone waiting! Have to stay positive! Btw does anyone know (members of previous classes) if the interview consists of a writting sample? Also are the interviews one-on-one or group interviews? Just trying to game plan a little. If anyone has a friend of knows someone who went through it in the past, please let me know! Thanks :D Good Luck to those who are waiting to hear back!!

amberDEE Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Received an invitation for an interview for Boston earlier today! So excited/nervous! I haven't scheduled it yet because I saw the message in the evening, I need to do that ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efhalsey Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I received an invitation to interview on Tuesday for October 18th, but I have a conflict so I am choosing the November 15th date! My CASPA was mailed end of July, and my supplemental was finished 1st week in August. Congrats to everyone who got invitations, and hang in there and be patient for everyone else. :) ps. Anyone who has interviewed already, what was it like?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhtoon1 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 congrats to all that got an interview! does anyone know how many interview dates they are having and if its a rolling type admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spring.kayla Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If I read the website correctly, admissions is on a rolling basis. I'm not sure how many interview dates they schedule, but it runs from Oct to Feb, I believe. I was just granted an interview about a week ago for October 18 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLStoPA Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello, Has anyone hear back yet from the Oct 4th interview? Anticipation is killing me! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberDEE Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 For everyone that has already interviewed, how did you like the interview process and the atmosphere of the school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emedina88 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The interview process is relaxed. They give you a lot of information and are really nice and helpful. Plan to be there until 4:30 pm or later. There is a short writing section (not a big deal so don't sweat) and then interviews. They don't try to trip you up or stress you out, just be 100% yourself. I know this sounds weird but try to enjoy the day as much as possible. You worked hard to get there! Bring something warm because the building is FREEZING!!! By the way has anyone from Oct 4 heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLStoPA Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Also interviewed the fourth (I was one of like only 4 guys hah!) and still haven't heard anything. They said 7-10 days after the interview, the anticitpation is killing me! And dougherty.je, when is your interview at Hofstra? I still haven't heard anything back from them about anything other than they received my supplemental app. Another waiting game over there! Hah!
