joshuajonmical Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks Cody. Actually, what I'm looking to discover is the time frame between TNU letting you know that they received your application and when you received TNU's invite to an interview. My application was verified sometime in September and TNU notified me that they received it on October 10th and now I am waiting to hear from them regarding an interview (or rejection). So it's been approximately 25 so far with no word. Thank you Cody! Joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnicole Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 For those of you still waiting for an email to interview there is still hope! The admissions committee is meeting one more time Dec 17 to choose their last round of applicants to be interviewed in January. I have been trying to keep up with admissions and am hopeful for an email- good luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuajonmical Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 bnicole, When you posted "disregard accidental post", did you mean that your previous post was incorrect? Or do you know that the committee is meeting on the 17th? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrisc Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Has anyone from the Dec 6th/7th interviews heard anything yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjordan32 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 So if you haven't heard anything by this point you're probably out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosminskbf Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 They would let you know if you didn't get in. From our round of interviews in October, they said that if we didn't hear anything, that meant we were put on the waiting list. I interviewed on Thursday, October 25 and they called me the next Wednesday. I don't know when they were meeting to decide for you guys, though! Best of luck!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjordan32 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I submitted my CASPA October 25. But it wasn't verified until like November 30. I was just curious when they let the last round of interviewees know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljgiblin Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 My husband just got an interview for either January 10th or January 11th! We might come as a family to check out Nashville as we're coming from Maryland and we have some friends that live there. Any one else interviewing in January?

bnicole Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Joshjon- No I know they were meeting. I had made a second post accidentally and tried to delete but it wouldn't allow me to - sorry for the confusion. Has anyone received an email today?

ljgiblin Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hi bnicole, see above, my husband got an invite. Did you get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnicole Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 So if you haven't heard anything by this point you're probably out? Not necessarily- I imagine whoever is chosen for the last set of interviews in january will find out in the next few days. They don't send out rejection letters so if you don't hear anything come January, you can call the school and ask if you have been rejected- unless you are talking about hearing after an interview. I haven't been lucky enough to have had one yet but my understanding is that you will know if you are in for sure within a few days but I'm not sure about being waitlisted.

bnicole Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hi bnicole, see above, my husband got an invite. Did you get one? No unfortunately I haven't but I'm happy to hear that for you and your husband. So he just got an email tonight? Wow that was fast! If you have any questions about nashville feel free to ask- my husband and I have lived here for about 4 years now and it's a great place. One thing I will say is that I think campus if beautiful - don't be detered by the fact that it isn't in the best part of the town, there are lots of great areas nearby and surrounding!

ljgiblin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks for the advice bnicole...got to get past the interview part before we start to think about where to live for 2 years! We have friends who live in Nashville as well so if my husband does get in, we'll probably get some help from them. Glad to hear you like it so much - are you originally from Tennessee? Yes he got an email at around 5 pm tonight. He applied to 7 schools, got an interview in September but didn't get a seat at that school, then 4 more rejections and we've been waiting on 2 schools but somewhat discouraged. So when he got the email he told me a little bit in shock. very pumped but also know how easy it is to get excited and then get turned down...

frackgirl33 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I also received an invite this evening! It's the first program I've heard back from so I'm stoked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnicole Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 LJgiblin- no I'm not- I'm from nebraska but the people here are friendly and there is always tons to do! Uhh I feel your pain- rejection is so hard. Believe me, this is my second time applying and next year will be my third but I'm only applying to Trevecca (I know, sounds silly) as I like the school and work with several PA's who went there- plus I am not willing to do long distance again with my husband who has to stay in Nashville. Every time you are rejected it feels like it takes a little piece out of you, but try to have faith- it will happen when it is supposed to happen- that's what I keep telling myself. I have a competitive resume but a-not-so competitive gpa so that's not a quick fix unfortunately. Surely he knows this and I know you aren't asking for advice but if he got an interview at another school and wasn't accepted, help him to consider what he learned from his last interview to improve on for this one so he can knock it out of the park! Good luck to you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjordan32 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Bnicole, did you have direct patient experience? I believe that is my down side. My advisor did some heavy research about this. I'll graduate in may an I'm 21. The average age going into Trevecca is 25 with 3 years working in the medical field. Based on what most people are posting, I'm definitely down on the age thing and I'm guessing the health care part is big too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdangerous Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Age generally isn't a factor in admissions decisions. Applicants are obviously selected on the basis of maturity level/preparedness for the intensity of PA school, but that may or may not have anything to do with age.

joshuajonmical Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Does anyone know if they are finished inviting all applicants to the January interviews? I saw that two posted that they received invites last night (Monday evening) and I'm wondering if they are still in the process of inviting other applicants or if they're done. Thank you.

jnjordan32 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Right, but as I said 25 is the average age going in, not the deciding factor, which brings into play the average of 3 years of experience. I'm 21 and not graduating until may. So I only have shadowing hours, not hands on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
