Jellyfish135 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi there! I have my interview next week (9/28) and am pretty nervous. Just trying to prepare the best I can to relieve some of the anxiety. Good luck to you in October! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchi Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Can I ask when you guys had your CASPA verified and how long it took Rush to contact you? Its been month for me so Im kinda getting nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyfish135 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Muchi My CASPA application was mailed out around the end of June and Rush contacted me July 31st. They said it can take four to six weeks for a response once they receive your application on their website so keep your hopes up. Good luck to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmithpa Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hi megrun519,how did the interview go? I have mine on 11/02/12. Any advice you care to share? (js2news@gmail.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiten4 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Accepted today. Anyone else? To answer your question balyak, my science gpa was a little over 3.5, and i have around 2,000 patient care hours. Majority of those coming from being an EMT. As far as the interview goes, attempt to answer questions through recalling past events in your life/work as examples. Personally this helped keep me loose and relaxed and probably offered the interviewers a good look into who I am and how I function. Good luck.

jsmithpa Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Congrats whiten4 on your acceptance. I was accepted as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchi Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Anyone one else interviewing on November 30th?? I'm so excited/nervous because Rush U was my reach school. To those who have interviewed, did you study for the medical terminology exam? Also, did you guys dress up very formally or just business casual? Sorry if that seems like a dumb question but this is my first interview. My stats are: science gpa 3.5, cumulative gpa 3.65, about 1,500 health care hours, 160 on both verbal and quantitative GRE, and 5.0 analytical.

kmness Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Rush was my stretch school as well...and I got invited for an interview today. Now I've got to find my huge stack of med term note cards and get studying! I interview on January 11th. Who knows if there will be any seat available then. I'm most nervous about the essay. Was it terrible?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchi Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The medical terminology exam was tough but they say it plays no part in your admission decision. They say many ppl fail and still get accepted and they keep giving it to you til you pass. So i wouldn't worry too much about it. The essays were not bad either. There were two and they were both hypothetical situations. There's no way you can really prepare for them so just make sure you write a thorough, thoughtful essay! You'll be fine. Good luck!

patachok Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Is anybody else interviewing January 11th? I got a call today that there is an available spot for Friday... While I am super excited, have lots of work to do as it is my first interview... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmness Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Congrats! I'm interviewing on the 11th as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patachok Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know it has only been a few days since the Friday interview, but I am counting every hour for the 2-3 week waiting period. I am hopeful, even though feel shaky about interview and essay! Good luck to us... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balyak Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 @patachok Congrats on finishing your interview!! Any advice? Was the interview portion hardball type questions or more of a get-to-know-you type environment? Congrats again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patachok Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 @balyak: I want to say it was pretty standard, to the line of why a PA, and tell about yourself, and things like that. Also, some ethical questions, but again, nothing stood out... Exam in medical terminology was hard for many people, but like they said, you can always retake it. Essay topics were given ahead of time, early in the day, which I am sure helped. :) I only had three days to get ready for the interview and it was a first one for me. When are you interviewing?

patachok Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 O.K. I had interview Friday the 11th, got my acceptance email this morning! :) I am sooooooooo excited! As for my stats: GRE 302.5 (not great), GPA 3.97 and science 3.91, ~9000 HCE (Registered EEG tech), work on a day to day basis with PA's, MD's and nurses. Anybody else from the Friday interview got an acceptance email? Rush here I come! :) Krystsina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
