I really enjoyed interviewing there! Even though the interview lasts the whole day, the time went by fast. The students and faculty are all very welcoming and truly just want to get to know you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, congrats on your interview! I am a current student, outside of specifics I would recommend looking up answers to common PA interview questions (why do you want to become a PA?, etc.) and have some genuine responses rather than rehearsed ones. The environment is relatively relaxed compared to other interviews I have been on and the faculty are all very friendly. The best thing you can do is to come in confident, dress to impress, and be ready to showcase your strong points as an individual and team player.

Out of curiosity, what do you enjoy most about the program as a current student? So far, I really enjoy the low student to faculty ratio. As a new program they really want the students to succeed and I feel we get a lot of time and focused interaction versus bigger programs. Our class was slotted for 25, and if accepted your cohort would be 35, but we are also getting additional faculty soon. We've also had opportunities to go out into the community and provide volunteer care which was really cool. We are currently looking to incorporate an annual mission trip too. Students have also become part of the interview process, so we will all see you there August, feel free to ask me anything in the meantime!

The faculty's main focus is on the students, I never feel as though I am put on a back burner to things like clinical work or research. This was one of my biggest reasons for picking St. Bonaventure over the other school I was accepted at. The modular format is my favorite part, personally. When we are learning about the lungs in physiology, we are learning lung pathologies in clinical medicine, how to do a lung exam in assessment, and so on. It really helps keep me focused.

epark Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Started looking into housing (obviously still early so not looking to commit to a place yet) but I'm having a terrible time finding anything... Any advice? @Laotian @KE5004 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice? @Laotian @KE5004 Yes, it's definitely even harder than last year being such a small town. I spoke with some of the faculty and it seems they have a potential dorm solution for graduates in the works and are meeting about it soon. I can update you as this develops, but occasionally checking apartment listings and FB marketplace has worked the best for me. We can give you feedback on areas of town you might be looking at and definite no-gos in terms of apartments because some students have issues and they ended up moving. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harshada Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hey you guys! I have an upcoming to the interview on Friday, 8/6 and I am really excited! I had a few questions. I had a few general questions regarding what I should bring for the interview: would I need a laptop during the interview? Any other suggestions on how to be ready for interview day would be greatly appreciated! Cannot wait to meet all that are coming to the interview and the other students already at the program!

Hi there! Looking forward to meeting you on interview day, I will be around for the afternoon portion. You don't need a laptop, but you can bring one if you needed it for notes, etc. Definitely get a full night of sleep, especially if your commute or travel is long. The faculty and current students are all very friendly if that helps to ease the nerves at all. The best thing you can do for the interviews is to be ready and confident to showcase yourself as a strong candidate. If you haven't already definitely check out some of the common questions PA programs ask! Edited August 4, 2021 by Laotian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also be around for the afternoon with Mark, and I agree, you won't need your laptop if you don't want to bring it! I would bring a watch to keep track of time. The program will provide most things, like a pen, water, lunch, etc. Good luck, let us know if you have anymore questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering about the timeline when we should hear a final decision back. Hi there, it looks like the last interview date is September 18th. No definitive timeline, but I imagine they'll get back to most people within a week or 2 after that with updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
