LauraSiS Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I applied in mid august just waiting to hear now :O_O:. I just graduated in May from Stony Brooks Health Science program so I'm really hoping to go back cause the faculty is amazing at the HSC. Just wondering what some people who received interviews stats are? Just wondering if I am anywhere close to getting an interview =) Good luck to everyone with all of their applications and interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centosan Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Stony brook just sent a supplemental app yesterday. Hopefully i complete it by next week. How soon am i expected to hear back after i turn in my supp app? I read a post under the SB forums that it took SB a week before getting back with an interview invite after submitting the supp apps, that is assuming they like you enough for one. I don't know how it works exactly...but if they're requesting a supplemental would that mean our chances of an invite are higher? Just thinking optimistically I guess. But I'm in the same boat, got my supp app yesterday. Going to try and complete it today or over the weekend. Though it's a long weekend, so even if we submit the supp app this weekend they won't officially receive it until Wednesday (due to the holidays). Waiting is so daunting.

RosePA Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 hey for those who already had their interview on the 20th how was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantvm Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It was more laid back than other interviews. They ask good questions though, not like other places I have gone. (and by good, I mean questions about yourself, not the "if you were a pencil in a blender how would you get out" type). Well organized and mimimally stressful.

SAD127 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I felt really relaxed during the interview. Everyone was extremely nice, both the faculty and current students. Everything was very organized and the day ran smoothly. It was like they had thought of everything (including mints for during the interviews).

constantvm Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I just heard back today! Apparently they are very quick on decision making/getting back to you. I got in! I didn't believe it at first! Good luck to everyone going to interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKay52 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Congrats on getting in! Would you mind posting your stats? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosePA Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Wow congrats constantvm on your acceptance. Stony brook is my first choice so far I have been interviewed at Albany and it was very laidback interview as well but I have heard that many schools can be cut throat. My interview is next month hopefully all goes well good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaznugget Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hey Jaz, when did you submitted your supplemental? I submitted my supplemental on August 20th. It took them a month to get back to me. So don't lose hope if you're beginning to feel discouraged. I know I began to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantvm Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Keep in mind this was my second year applying. I got rejected by 8 schools last year, but I am just going to list the ones I applied to this year. I applied super early this year, though if you haven't heard back from any place don't worry. I didn't hear back from most of the programs until October/November last year though. Undergrad Ed School: Indiana University of PA Cumulative Undergrad. GPA: 3.50 Science Undergrad.

rlh123 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 PA school are so strange. I just looked at your stats, constantvm, and I have totally different stats, some better and some worse than yours. My top choice is Stonybrook, so what do u think my chances are at getting in? Age:20 CASPA submitted: late August Supplemental Application submitted: September 15 GPA:3.9 science GPA:3.9 Direct patient care: pediatric intensive care 50 hr, Medical Assistant 200 hr, volunteer for children with special needs 500 hr, and 100 hr shadowing PAs. Do u think I could maybe get in? I got an interview with PACE and have not heard back from any other schools yet (Touro, PCOM, Phila U, Salus, Drexel, UMDNJ) thanks...

When did you get the interview invite with Pace? I have the same stats as constantvm in terms of grades, but different DPT. I applied early August and submitted my Supplemental same time you did. PA Programs are pretty weird in terms of whom they give out invites to. I've seen people denied at pace and accepted at stony brook and vice versa. Like each school has their own particular criteria. In any case, congrats on your invite from Pace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constantvm Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Not necessarily. I don't know about Stony Brook, but I got interview invites in December for some schools last year. Keep your head up! so no word from SB yet.. gave my supp app at 9/12 applied 8/24so I;m guessing rejection letter, cuz no interview invite this late in the month means bad news... depress :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosePA Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hey for those who got acceptances did they contact you via mail, email, or phone? Is there a writing portion.? And how many interviewers did you see? And is there a group interview? Sorry for asking so many questions would really appreciate your answers.
