beattie228 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Allison- I have an interview in mid-November. Did you have 2 one on one interviews? Any info would be appreciated as it is one of my top choices!! I had one interview with the program director and a current RFUMS PA student. To specify, they both were asking me questions simultaneously in the same room. It was really relaxed, and they let me know I was accepted in less than a week. All in all, I think you will be very impressed with the program. I would recommend you come with questions in hand because you'll have an opportunity to meet many folks throughout the day who are more than happy to answer them for you. Best of luck to you!

beattie228 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 How did they contact you to set up the interview? Congrats to everyone accepted! They send you an email and you respond to that email if you wish to attend. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okadam Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 So on my official hard copy acceptance letter...it gives me the option to accept or decline the offer of admission for the "Class of 2016 Physician Assistant Studies Program"....I hope this is just a typo on their part? Anyone else notice the typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonK_PA Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The interview is with one first-year student and one faculty member (it's about a 30 minute interview) both asked questions. from what I heard from the other people at the interview, all obvious questions were asked "why do you want to be a PA, how do you handle stress, what do you have to offer your classmates (what makes you unique) and more of those type of standard questions, and one moral/ethical question". It was an informative but very relaxing day including a group tour and a presentation about the school. It is such an amazing program and the school is so unique- having over 30 health graduate programs. The campus is great too! Like people have posted previously, they email you extending the offer to interview and there will be about 30 people at each interview cycle. One week to 10 days later they might email you with an offer. (I interviewed oct 12th and most people got their acceptance letters oct 19 but -don't be discouraged if you don't get it exactly one week later, seeing as I got my acceptance via email oct 23rd) A week after my email I got a letter of intent in the mail with more information about accepting the seat in the class. (I also got the 2016 typo- which the admissions director told me to change to 2015 and initial the change) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumina Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just confirmed my interview with RFUMS on Dec 7th! I had a pretty long wait before they offered me an interview so there is still hope for those waiting! Good luck everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumina Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 hey patachok. No problem! I had submitted my caspa 6/19 and it was mailed out 7/3. I got my supplemental fee request from RFUMS on 7/30. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopczh55 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just curious if the accepted applicants are willing to share their stats!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.busha Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I ended up getting accepted a few days later :) Would anyone be interested in starting a FB group? I think we need at least 2 people to start a group. Email me at r.busha@yahoo.com if anyone wants to start one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphisau79 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Has anyone from the Nov 16th interview session heard back yet? Ill keep posted if I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askemp Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Have not heard back yet from Nov 16th interviews. Admissions said they were still reviewing applications this week so I am assuming that with Thanksgiving break things were delayed a few days -so the wait continues!

svonholten Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Congratulations! Crossing my fingers that I hear back soon...I had the same interview date...this has been a stressful time. I'm jealous that you can rest assured that you're accepted, haha! Have a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weng521 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I interviewed Nov 16th too. I also received an acceptance email Friday afternoon too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balyak Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Would any one mind sharing the types of questions asked during the interviews? Is it really just a get-to-know-you type atmosphere, or do they include ethical type questions as well? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopczh55 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Does anyone have any idea when Rosalind will be having the next round of interviews??? :) Hoping to hear something soon!! :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svonholten Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hello! I was just accepted today! Let's see...my stats. Do you want the long or the short version? :) I have a BA in Athletic Training from North Central College (it's a D3 in IL), an MS in Athletic Training from A.T. Still University in Mesa, AZ. I have a really average GRE score, nothing to write home about...obviously not enough for me to remember, ha! 3.79 undergrad GPA, 3.92 grad. school GPA...I think 3.7 or 3.8 science. I have about 8,000 direct patient contact hours as an AT (I'm 27 and have been practicing for 5 years.) I think that's about all that you might want to know? Oh, and I believe I saw you post about interview dates...I think they have another one in January. I got an email from them in October for an interview in November (about 6 week time lapse.) My application was verified long before that but it seems that they have a ridiculous amount of applicants as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Or maybe shoot them an e-mail and just verify that they have everything they need and if they don't, please don't hesitate to contact you with questions? Sometimes it's just nice to reach out and check. You're the only one that can fight to get yourself into PA school. You can do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.busha Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hey all, I just created a Facebook group if you are interested in joining and getting to know each other a bit before May! I named it 'Rosalind Franklin Physician Assistant Class of 2015'. Let me know if there are problems finding it, I've never made a group before... so I hope it worked fine! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahluby88 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hey r.busha you should include a link to the facebook group. I am having a hard time finding it but maybe it's just me haha. Either way, if you could include a link to get to the group that would be great! Can't wait to chat with other accepted students! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.busha Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hey Sorry!!! I'm really not good at computer things :/ haha let me know if this works or not!!

balyak Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Currently on the waitlist and hoping to be part of the Class of 2015!! If anyone has decided on other schools please notify RFUMS to make some room for those of us on the wait list! Thanks!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svonholten Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Does anyone have any idea when Rosalind will be having the next round of interviews??? :) Hoping to hear something soon!! :/ Hey, I just looked back at my e-mail and they said they typically interview in six sessions, about 30-40 people in each session (that's about right) and I know they started in September. They should be having two more sessions! I hope you get an interview! I know it can be difficult waiting it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svonholten Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Currently on the waitlist and hoping to be part of the Class of 2015!! If anyone has decided on other schools please notify RFUMS to make some room for those of us on the wait list! Thanks!! :) Hey balyak! I just wanted to give you a little encouragement and remind you that nearly half of the people in the final class are from the waitlist. I remember seeing stats on their powerpoint for the past several years with just over 30 people all from the waitlist. And I can guarantee that there are some of those who are accepted that are still waiting on the shuffling around of other institutions. I still haven't heard back officially from another institution who still calls me a "competitive applicant" and given the fact that most schools are giving people two week timeframes to accept...you have to wait on those decisions. It also forces accepted applicants to hold their spots with deposits when they might not end up attending a school. So, keep the faith, I know it sucks waiting but hopefully after the new year when schools are back in session people will start making their decisions!
