GingersHuman Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 In the interviews that I have been to (not at Duke), no one has brought a guest. I'd avoid it if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glgkbh Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I would also like to know what to expect at a group interview. Do they ask you questions one by one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbondoc Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 One of my fellow interviewees brought her husband, but he only stayed for maybe the first hour or two. I didn't think it was terribly awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaeaAM Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 They just give you a topic to discuss as a group for the predetermined amount of time. Then you have individual interviews where they ask you questions about yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjohnson3604 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Do most people bring a guest to the first part of the day? One young lady in our interview group did. It's only for the morning/tour session (a lot of families want to see the campus). That young lady either turned down or did not get accepted. However, in my first year I saw several candidates bring a guest (a couple ARE in this years class). Up to you, I also thought it was strange/ill advised but it did not hinder some. (clear as mud, I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rena0123 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 There were two people in my interview group that brought guests (I was one of them and I did get in). They actually encourage it, since choosing a PA school can be a joint decision if you are married or are going to be moving specifically for school. My guest was actually the son of a friend who is looking into applying to PA school, and wanted to learn more about Duke. I didn't find it awkward at all, and since they actually offer, I don't believe it counts for or against you in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emoses Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I was put on the Duke University interview wait-list. Has anybody been offered a wait list spot and been accepted for an interview yet? I know they interview well into February, but I haven't heard either way. Like the great Tom Petty once said - the waiting is the hardest part! Thanks & Good luck all!

EMTrey Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Emoses, I was on the interview waitlist and was offered an interview, as were one or two other people in my group of 10. I am not sure when the last date for interviews is, but hope that helps. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinpa Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Interviewed on January 9th and found out January 14th that I got in!!! (I know...this post is a little late) I still can't believe it and I'm so excited to attend Duke this fall!! Good luck everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhodes Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Did anyone who got accepted already send a thank you email/card? I just interviewed yesterday and I'm curious :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allmota Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Did anyone who got accepted already send a thank you email/card? I just interviewed yesterday and I'm curious :) I interviewed on a Tuesday, wrote a personalized message on each card that night, and stopped by the post office the next morning on my way to the airport... I got my acceptance email the following Monday. :wink: Whether or not the thank you cards had any effect on their decision, I don't know. Regardless of the outcome, I wanted to send the cards not only to show professionalism but to show my gratitude for such a wonderful experience. The faculty/staff/students at Duke did a great job making me feel at home (which made me want to get accepted into Duke even more!!!) In my opinion, send them ASAP! Even though it's ideal to get the cards in the recipients' hands before the adcomm meeting on Friday, it won't hurt to have a friendly reminder of who you are if you were to be "tabled" for the alternate list.

kabby Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hey dancinpa, can you give me an advice since you already got in. I interviewed already and i sent an email as a follow up to the program but didnt get any replies. Do you think this is a bad sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glgkbh Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I did the same thing and no reply. A few days later I received an acceptence email. So no I do not think it was a bad idea. You will hear one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinpa Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hey dancinpa, can you give me an advice since you already got in. I interviewed already and i sent an email as a follow up to the program but didnt get any replies. Do you think this is a bad sign? I don't think it's a bad sign...they're probably just busy. I had another interview right after the one at Duke so I ended up not having time to send thank-you's or an email and I still got an offer. I know the waiting is difficult though...good luck!!!

sarahluby88 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Does anyone know when decisions will be made on tabled applicants? I interviewed back in October and haven't heard anything since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaeaAM Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 They told us in our interview that applicants whose applications were tabled would be revisited in March. There's still time. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
