I was originally scheduled to interview in person but just received an email that my interview will be virtual b/c of COVID. Did anyone else receive that message? I got the same email!

Michellet163 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hi guys! I hope you're well! I was wondering if anyone was in the same boat as having their application on hold? I got that email back in May and haven't heard anything since so i've been feeling a little anxious. Congrats on everyone who got an interview!!

chiprepa Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Do you think it would be too late to apply at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an email 7/13 saying my application was in the review process, which would take 7-14 days. I still haven’t received anything back from them, not in junk either. Should I reach out? Or is no new good news? I'm hoping to hear something soon as well. I'm just at the 7th-day mark. Morgan, Could you keep us posted if you hear anything? Good luck!

PA20232024 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I’m thinking of applying but not sure if mid august is too late now I applied to other schools beginning of June and just came across Emory. It’s seems like a fantastic program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Megalodon, I submitted my application on July 30th and received a confirmation email of everything on August 3rd. In your experience, how long does it usually take to get a response about an interview request? As I know, around this time is the busy season. In addition, I know the email states it takes 7-14 business days. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give them a little bit more than two weeks, just know they are working on thousands of applications. As long as it is confirmed that it went through, you are good for right now. Best of luck!

Also do you know if we can just casually visit campus for a tour? Or is there someone you know that might be able to facilitate a tour. My interview is virtual but I would love to at least come down and check out the campus and city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interview is virtual but I would love to at least come down and check out the campus and city. Hello! Someone else asked for interview tips so I will post that in my next reply! As far as tours, I emailed our director and here is an email from him. "I will host a 1 – 2 hour Emory campus tour for interview candidates starting at the Emory Bookstore Starbucks lobby Sundays 2 – 3:30 on 10/9, 10/23 and 11/27 Guests are welcome. Sign up at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q_KiZJUxADnYk8jwROz-o_Xt-Dw1pmpOrWBG2eEENTw/edit?usp=sharing Free parking behind the bookstore at Oxford Road Parking Deck 1390 Oxford Road NE, Atlanta 30307 https://transportation.emory.edu/visitor-parking " I know these slots are after most interview dates, but decisions don't come until after Thanksgiving, and even longer if you're on the waitlist. Definitely go if you can and show your interest :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interview is MMI style (Multiple mini interviews). You will talk to multiple people for around 5 minutes and they each will ask you different questions. I used a book called "How to ace your PA interview" I will link it. It helped me so much in preparing for common questions asked during PA interviews. But ultimately, show your passion for the career, be yourself, and stay humble. Link for the book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Physician-Assistant-School-Interview/dp/1724839853/ref=asc_df_1724839853/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312446862670&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6192513948122149332&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010926&hvtargid=pla-569966492864&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyes14 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Just curious, I am about to submit my application but my supplemental essay is roughly 600 words and 3700 characters with spaces. Is anyones essay this long or more concise than that? Also does Emory have a secondary fee besides the initial CAPSA fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you happen to have any formatting issues when submitting your Emory specific essay? Mine is also about a page long but when coping my essay into the Emory provided word document I am not able to add any spaces in between paragraphs. Instead it just copies as just one long paragraph instead of 4 to 5 smaller paragraphs which is how I typed it up. Did you have this issue? And if so how did you fix it, or did you just post yours that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 1 page explains your story then do it! Some people have to take more pages to get their point across while other can do the same in 1 page. You will be fine. Good luck!

I remember thinking the formatting looked weird, but it all looked fine once it was uploaded to Caspa. I wouldn't stress it, and good luck!
