bwienz5 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I just got an acceptance email! But it does say that they changed the start date to January 2023… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I hope it doesn’t start in January, I just emailed Alyssa Holtz let’s see what she says Edited December 7, 2021 by 007PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does say that they changed the start date to January 2023… I'm so confused because their website has not been updated and no one from enrollment has gotten back to me. Can anyone else confirm this as well? I received an email yesterday of matriculating being August 2022 and the same day received it being January 2023 by someone else.

007PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Could it be that they’re dividing the cohort some starts august and some in January Edited December 7, 2021 by 007PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZParamedic2PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I interviewed in the last round. No emails yet. But I also checked the website and no updates. If it is January, I wonder if something happened that forced them to push it back. Interested in hearing what Alyssa has to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZParamedic2PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 If Alyssa is the one who said it's January, then I don't feel like it was a mistake. So, maybe they are splitting up the cohort, or maybe it's all pushed back. Interesting! P.S. Id be happy to start anytime, just send me that acceptance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZParamedic2PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Thanks for sharing this! So, it sounds like the committee meeting was pushed back... I know they were supposed to accreditation decisions in March / April 2022. So now that the decision wont be made until August, we can't start before then. Makes complete sense, but yes, everyone should be getting updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZParamedic2PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm completely fine with a push back of date, but yes - I would have wanted to be kept in the loop (more so if I had already accepted a seat). I wonder if some people may choose to go elsewhere because now it's a year out to start (potentially). I wonder if the interview acceptances are going to cease from the last round until they meet to decide their plan. Sounds like only 1 person has heard back.

007PA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Honestly I might turn it down, since it’s starting next January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSA91 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I just got my acceptance email, interviewed 11/30. My email also said starting in Jan 2023. I’m fine with a later start date as long as I get to be a PA. But I wonder if maybe they want the cohorts to align with their on campus cohort? Not sure. They seem to be very well prepared either way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap382 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hi guys. I interviewed literally an hour ago. The start date is definitely moved to January. They said that it is not because of any issues specifically, they just want to make extra sure that they have trained the preceptors for clinical rotations properly. They emphasized that it was not because they were lacking in anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that there were about 2,000 clinical sites. Do they place you in rotations in the area/community you reside in with any available preceptors there? Or do they use their own preceptors for your location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA9008 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Does anyone who interviewed know how clinical rotations work? Do you get placed in your community/location that you reside in? Do they work to find you preceptors or do they have preceptors in multiple states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZParamedic2PA Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Anyone else waitlisted? (from any cycle of interviews)? I wonder how likely you are to get off the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabby1212 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I interviewed 11/30 and heard back on Tuesday that I got accepted, but I did call and they said they were moving the start date back to January 2023. So I declined the acceptance. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViVish Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hey there! I got waitlisted for the interview. Hopeful they will eventually invite me for the interview, I also plan to get additional license and sent it to them, maybe it will bring me some points. I think I’m lacking clinical hours compared to other people and that is the problem, because my gpa is pretty good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied late, like a few days ago because I just heard of the program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2021pabound Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! Here’s some clarification from the program about the start date. They wanted it to line up with the in-person program so that the hybrid classes and clinical rotations ran smoothly.
