I am glad to hear that it was more of a relaxed interview process, that makes it much easier trying to prepare for it. And yes, hearing about accreditation soon would be awesome!

I interviewed back in January (Jan 26) and was accepted the first week of March. Here are my stats for those interested: GPA: 3.7 science GPA: 3.2 GRE (verbal): 156 GRE (quantitative): 155 Shadowing: 120 hrs in the OR, 20 hrs in ED, 30 hrs clinical I had about 400 volunteer hours and about 1,000 hours of work experience in a healthcare setting (I was a sterile processing technician). I had no direct patient care experience! I also did about 2 years of neuroscience lab work, 1.5 yrs chemistry lab work, and 1.5 yrs demography research (all extracurricular). I hope that helps, feel free to ask me any questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really appreciate it since I am super nervous! The interview process was pretty casual and everyone I spoke to was very friendly! Pretty much all of the questions were based on my experience, I’m pretty sure they all had a copy of my resume in front of them! I was put in a breakout room with 2-3 faculty members so they could ask me questions, most of which were about my research experience and my shadowing hours! They also asked me some questions about why I want to be a PA. This was by far my most relaxed interview so no need to be nervous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdi99 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi guys! Has anyone heard any news on accreditation for this program? I'm interviewing next week and starting to think about the possibility of attending but living a few hours away it will be hard to maneuver a January start. Anyone else having a similar issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ent2019 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Can’t find anything about a deposit amount on the website. Those who were accepted, just curious- how much is the deposit for a seat? TIA and best of luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
