I met someone else on the fb group who was rejected after interviewing (not from the most recent interviews though). Not sure if it makes it any better. Can you share the fb group? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does make it better lol, I mean I was assuming I wasn’t actually the only one but it’s just weird I thought usually they notified accepted people first. I wonder do why though. Oh well. Nothing I can do now. I’m glad I made it that far this year. Hopefully I don’t have to apply again next year. I literally DREAD getting LORs every year. Hey there! I’m a current student at YPAO and just wanted to encourage you that you are absolutely not the only one this happened to. It seems like there are about 5-6 rounds of interviews with groups of between 60-80 interviewees. In each of those groups it seems 10-15ppl are accepted and around that many waitlisted. So if you are being generous with your estimations my guess is of the people who interview at least half are rejected. These are all just my own personal estimates based on the few application cycles I have watched (the program itself has never shared any of this type of info with us). I think not many people know about the forum and a lot of people won’t publicly share bad news, so the numbers you see here aren’t a real reflection. I say all of this to encourage you and let you know you aren’t alone and to keep chasing your dream! It also took me a few cycles to get in but it’s worth it!

qiuhas Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Has anyone heard back after the post interview session on 8/25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubs191 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I was rejected the morning after the post interview too. It was truly unfortunate timing too because I was heading out for a backpacking trip with my sisters, put a damper on my mood for that day lol to say the least. So @mfcfpa you definitely weren't the only one and you really should apply next cycle. I'm absolutely going to. It's just a kink in the road that's all. I truly wish good news for everyone else!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some that have heard back as early as the Monday following the post-info sessions!

CreativePA123 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) The advisor we were assigned when we applied to this program informed me that we should be hearing back by September 1 or 2 with decisions !

Talk about odd timing because it was right after I shared my rejection news with you all. I’m also a little weirded out that I seem to be the only one with this experience so far, and I’m already a reapplicant lol. But it’s also just strange that I’m the only one that heard anything. I mean obviously other people may have just chosen to not share their outcome. Who knows. Best of luck. I’m not sure I want to apply a 4th cycle lol. I know I can do it now, like right now. I don’t want to keep waiting. I’m waiting to do a lot of other things in life until after I achieve this…still all weird though. I wonder if I’m seriously the only one with this experience with this program this cycle as in interview and then rejected. Take this year to do something you have been really wanting to do! And then reapply! Things happen for a reason. Don't give up! I always have a plan B and try to have something exciting to look forward to. You got this!

Jawton Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Does anyone know how many more interview cycles they will be doing? I was a later applicant and have not heard anything one way or the other regarding an interview or rejection. The waiting game is definitely tough. Sorry to those that were rejected, and congrats to those that were accepted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jettan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 @brich22the pre-PA Facebook group @Jawton they do not fill the cohort until every application has been reviewed before the deadline. Hope you get an interview soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
