I assume since they say interviews are Sept-Nov, it will be the same this year! From my understanding, decisions will be sent the beginning of November. So quite a long wait from interview to final decision...I'm sill waiting to hopefully get an interview. But, I did submit rather late...I'm sure they are going through the stacks and stacks of applications by date (when both apps were received). Fingers crossed!! Being a single-mom, I'm pretty limited to the schools I can apply to. Have to either be somewhat local or online/hybrid options... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePAandMomingIt Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Would those who have gotten an interview mind sharing their stats? CGPA/SGPA/HCE Hours? I'm sure many of us are curious as to where we stand among those who have already heard back. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pa2021a Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I have an interview this week. My gpa is a 3.2 and I have almost 5,000 hours. They take a holistic approach too so for anyone with gpa’s on the lower side don’t feel discouraged because there is more to the application than your gpa! Wishing everyone luck, I know how stressful applications can be especially being on my second cycle but we will get in where we are meant to be! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt more like a conversation and they give you plenty of time to think and to ask questions. Don’t be too stressed and take a deep breath and you will be fine!

Their faculty is amazing and friendly. I agree that it definitely felt more conversational than pressured interview. Definitely prepare though and be you!

AJprePA Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 when did you submit your application? if you don't mind me asking, it is very encouraging to see a gpa that is not 3.7+ On 9/13/2022 at 1:58 PM, Pa2021a said: I have an interview this week.

Chs614 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Hi everyone! I’m a current student at MUSC- I just wanted to come on here and remind you guys to not let this forum and seeing everyone’s updates get you down!! I remember this feeling from last year and know it’s so hard to sit and wait, but SO much can happen in the next few months and they still have so many invites to send out! Our classmates all had our interviews at different times, all across the timeline, and we all made it here. Don’t stress or let yourself compare yourself to everything you see on here! You got this! 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about this year with 97 but last year I read on post and courier for 2017 when they accepted 60 into their class, they interviewed ~200 for it! https://www.postandcourier.com/health/as-physician-assistant-programs-proliferate-schools-find-trouble-training-students/article_2ecf44ec-c87e-11e7-9247-f7a40b595bbc.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlitosPA Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hey guys! Quick question for those who have interviewed, I'm wondering what to expect for the q and a session with the PA students.. did you find that to be pretty laid back? Or did you still dress formally and treat it like a faculty interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice that anyone was dressed formally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
