PLK18 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Sorry I didn’t respond directly to you, but I’ve been using Savanah Perry’s interview guide (from Amazon) and creating talking points for each of the questions. If you’re interested in running through mock interviews together just let me know! Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find out more about it here. Additionally, I've completed a mock interview and scheduled a couple more with providers I work with for practice. And I've reached out to friends and family asking them to call or text me out of the blue and ask random interview questions. Good luck to everyone!!! We got this!!!

It was really helpful honestly. I then sent that recording to PAs and other medical friends I have to ask for feedback on my answers. Having just finished my first day of interviews, I can tell you doing this made me much more confident on the big day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR23 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If I applied may 30th (out of state applicant) when do you think I would hear back about an interview? I submitted the supplemental app a few days after my CASPA. They would notify if I wasn’t receiving an interview right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted my supplemental on July 19th, took the CASPer on the 31st and just received an interview invite this morning for September. So hopefully you'll find out soon!

I have almost exactly the GPA they posted as average for a PA student and nearly three times the amount of clinical hours they listed as average. Not sure what could be holding up my application. 20 hours ago, Kwreev said: I submitted my supplemental on July 19th, took the CASPer on the 31st and just received an interview invite this morning for September.

Run4fun Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Does anyone know how strict they are about the supplemental application deadline? I sent mine in the day after the due date that the email stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xivvii Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I just wanted to check back in to see how everyone is doing. I hope everyone is doing well! I'm continuing to stay hopeful for everyone, and I wish us all the best on our journey to becoming PAs! If no one has mentioned it recently, you all are amazing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammydh Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just got an email today from UNM saying that I'll "remain in consideration". Bummed that I didn't get accepted out the gate, but also encouraged that I didn't immediately get rejected haha. Good luck everyone! Let me know how ya'll do!

Hey there, sorry for the delay, it was a long day. I did receive an email as well, and unfortunately was not accepted nor waitlisted.

JonesNtoBPA Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hi everyone, I got an acceptance notification, but turned it down because I got into a school closer to me. I hope my seat goes to one of you guys! Best of luck everyone! Keep your heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR23 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I applied to this program at the end of May and handed in the supplemental application on time. Seems like people are hearing about interviews acceptances and rejections but I haven’t heard anything at all. Any idea what the reason is?

justanotherprePA22 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Since it is a small cohort, I imagine they are being very meticulous with selecting and offering interviews. I am hoping they have further interviews in October, and I imagine they will since their site states they will interview into the late fall. Just a waiting game for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prepaKM Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi all, I received an interview invite on 09/06! Does anyone have any information on format of interview type? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub828 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hey Everyone! I got an interview invite for next month and I am really excited! I have one question though. What month does the program start? So far I have found that it is a summer start but nothing other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconanas Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 They are aiming for early July but it's not set yet as they are waiting to follow the med school schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
