soraya1217 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Does anyone have an idea of the interview format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmmcginn Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Me too!!! So excited! Jan 19th, 8am. My name is Charlotte and I look forward to meeting all you. Let's all get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarraeo26 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Does anyone have an idea of the interview format? There should be some posts from former topics on the interview format. It's a LONG day and you will be broken up into small groups. The day consists of 2 one-on-one (sometimes 2 on 1) interviews with faculty, a group interview led by current students, an essay, a meeting with the Program Director to ask questions, a tour, a "game," and I think that's it...The interview is pretty enjoyable and they will provide you with breakfast and lunch--usually sandwiches/chips/soda. The most important part is the individual interviews so prepare for those. How to Get Into PA School is a good book to use. If you have any questions let me know, I won't go into more detail about the interview day because that would be unfair, so don't ask, unless its something practical such as what to wear or bring with. They should also provide you with some sort of list of places to stay. Otherwise feel free to ask logistical questions (send a message, I rarely am on here). Oakland has a bad reputation but please don't let it scare you away! Oh, they also have an informal pizza dinner before the interview to meet current students. I highly encourage you to go because it makes the following day less stressful. It has no bearing on your acceptance but it's a bonus for you!

cstarkwe Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Sarraeo26 listed many great details about the interview day.... most important advice? --- You are always being watched! But, that goes for any interview. Be polite and kind to others. - Chelsea Ps. So excited! Just finished my last day of PA school today at SMU! Had to share!

OleshanJ Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I also got an invite for the February 9th interview. I too am SO excited! Have you received your information packet about the interview process yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amireland3 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I am interviewing Jan 19th at 8:00am as well! Quick question though, in the information packet it says "You have been selected to be interviewed for admission into the Master Physician Assistant Program at Samuel Merritt University starting in the Fall of 2015." Is there a typo? Or am I misreading it? This interview is for 2013 matriculation, graduating in 2015 right? Anyway so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpreet2203 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 :( i am still waiting..this program is very important for me . I am also an international student in california and want to earn Masters. I have a PharmD degree from my country but no luck in USA. Also did any of you get an email regarding some fast track scholarship program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtreib Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I believe all candidates received the scholarship information. I've been told the applications are still with faculty and invites are still being sent out. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyanneSD Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I got the email regarding the scholarship yesterday. I am supposed to be interviewing on Jan 26 but haven't received anything in the mail with additional details. After calling earlier today I was told they would mail out my packet today. The scholarship sounds great and I would love to do my rotations in Hawaii but I don't have any personal ties to the area or the demographic. Good luck to everyone else who is interviewing or is still waiting. I will try to do an update after my interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
