pengcan2011 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The other aspect of my application is strong except my Casper. I submitted my CASPA in mid July and my supplement application in early August. Since many of you were invited for an interview in August. I guess I don't have a chance...

I feel the same way, but from my understanding they will continue to send out interview invitations until November/December so there is still time.

I submitted my CASPA at the end of May, supplemental July 7, and received my interview invite for 8/18 less than 2 weeks ago. Don’t be so down on yourself! This is just the first round of interviews, you absolutely have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreativePA123 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Did they mention how long it takes to hear back after interviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through last year's boards, it looks like anywhere from 4-5 weeks, but that's just an estimate based on when applicants posted they got interviews and then the same ones got acceptances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also waitlisted which I find interesting because my interviewer told me at the end that he would be giving me a very positive evaluation. I committed to another program anyway but I'm just surprised at how open he was regarding his opinion - it can really mess with a candidate’s outlook/confidence.

pengcan2011 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I am a bit nervous about the interview. Is it a 30-min zoom interview with one interviewer or multiple interviewers? Were the questions hard , tricky, or relaxed? Is it possible for you to share some of your interview experience? Thanks very much. Congratulations for your acceptance to a PA program already.
