I never received such email. My email said interviews were conducted in person and a sign up sheet. I'm not the only one right? You are not the only one! A virtual option was never mentioned to me either. On this forum is the first I’ve heard about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrePAdiddy20 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I also did not receive the virtual option. I think individuals who received an invite later were offered it vs earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t really experience Nashville much but I did a little vlogging, which I plan to post later. For the most part, I think I interviewed pretty well. The faculty were very welcoming and approachable. The interview was definitely relaxing; a family feel. It was nice to meet the other candidates as well. We also saw med students and dentistry students walking the halls so it’s an exciting that come January, new PA students will be walking the halls in their unique scrubs as well. Best of luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrePAdiddy20 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 For the people that interviewed already, what were the females wearing? The dress code says business casual but I’m curious if people went more formal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dress code says business casual but I’m curious if people went more formal.. To clarify, business casual for guys is usually sans tie and the jacket is optional. Business professional is suit and tie. Majority of males were suit and tie. Females were pants, nice blouse, and suit or suit-esc jacket. Colors were professional mostly solid tones with some patterns with the females attire. Edited September 15, 2022 by OrcaPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the interview set up for those who has went already? It's all very relaxed and the MMI are on par with CASPER so you could practice using CASPER material on Altus Suit. It would behoove you to read through the schools material such as their goals, some history, and their mission statement. Because they do want to know you've researched them and shown that interest, also it helps to talk about you would fit their program.

OrcaPA Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Show up early, they start receiving prospective students at 0730. There is a Starbucks and small cafeteria open at that time which is colocated in the interview building. You don't need a computer or anything extra but a pen can be helpful. You'll get a folder with flyers in it which you can take notes on the back of. Remember, it's not about the correct answer but how you work in a group for group interviews. For MMI it's about your thought process and how you think through the topics. Think of personal stories to help demonstrate who you are while answering questions. Think of times when you showed your moral fortitude, demonstrated personal ethics, was a leader, went through difficulties that speak to your character in how you navigated those times, etc. These aren't the actual questions, you need to accept the uncertainty because telling you more than this is too much of an advantage over the other wonderful prospectives interviewing. So go in and try to be yourself/ not too anxious and accept that everyone is going through it together. Good luck.

Ealdaz Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Good luck to everyone interviewing! Had mine yesterday and agree with what everyone else has said. On a side note, I flew in from CA and also trying to enjoy Nashville while I’m here! If anyone would like to hang out before or after their interviews please feel free to reach out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAdiddy20 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thank you everyone for letting me know. I think I’m going to go more casual and ditch the jacket 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
