lrncpa Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Is anyone still waiting to hear back since the initial confirmation of their application? I applied to both campus and dual PA/MPH and still have not heard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial email specifically stated notifications would be sent out the third week of December. But on the other hand, some people found out in early December, so maybe it’s not a concrete timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA12311 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Anyone have any interview tips from current students (specifically for the MPAS-MPH Program)? I know people have said "they just want to get to know you" but wondering if there are any specific topics I should brush up upon. Thank you in advance and good luck to everyone interviewing this cycle! Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcPA19 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hello all. Congratulations to those who received interview invites! For those who didn't...if being a PA is still your dream, please keep trying! I'm a current student in year 2 of 3 of the traditional distance program. I'm happy to shed some light on the interview at UW. As mentioned above, the program really is trying to get to know the applicant interviewing. They want to see if they are a good fit for the program and would be a good representative of the program in the community and during clinical rotations. They want to get to know you as a person and see if you're likeable and pleasant to work with considering you're in the program for 2-3 years depending on education track. I personally think the question you should think about leading up to your interview is "tell us about yourself." The faculty isn't looking for you to regurgitate your CASPA application, although you should be able to speak to it if asked. However, if there is something really unique about your application or your experiences thus far, share it! The faculty is interested in learning about what motivates you to be a PA, your journey to PA up to this point, and why UW in particular. You'll probably get asked some of the standard interview questions too, so be thinking about how you might answer those without sounding rehearsed. Unless they've changed the format of the interview, UW doesn't do the MMI style of interviewing. It's typically been each candidate does 2 separate 15 minute sessions with 2 faculty members at each session. Just be yourself and it'll go great! DM me if you have any particular questions and I'll try to address them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribyy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Any update for being pulled off waitlist? How are interviews going for people who are not on waitlist?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are interviews going for people who are not on waitlist?! What we were told was that the last round of interviews occur the last week of January. After the last interviews, the committee meets and selects the class. Decisions should be mailed out by the first week of February. My assumption is that after the deadline to put a deposit down for a spot in the class passes, they will then evaluate whether or not they will be pulling from their waitlists. Good luck to all!! Can't wait to find out!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SScurt Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Waitlisted again, for the second year in a row. Starting to get very frustrated with this program. Really wondering what I could possibly do better when I have been told by multiple admissions personnel that I am a mission match. Starting to think this isn't in the cards for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePAgirl29 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) They said they will send us information on class schedules and housing etc. when the class is confirmed and we haven’t gotten that yet. Hopefully that’s helpful for those on the waitlist! Edited February 9, 2022 by FuturePAgirl29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
