NeoTrion Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Be prepared for the common PA school interview questions and just stay relaxed. They just want to get to know you to make sure you're a good fit. Ask questions and know what type of program you want to be a part of. Also, before you leave, be sure to pick up an apartment finders catalog somewhere. That way, you'll have a good collection of all the available complexes in Midland so you can start looking once you get accepted! It's difficult to find housing out here so start looking/get on waiting lists as soon as possible. My roommates and I were on a waiting list from January-May before we knew we had a place to stay. Good luck with interviews, everyone! Defiantly take this advice on the living situation. This was a problem for a lot of us in our class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLM12 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I received an interview for November 15th. Good Luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aasweeney22 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 How long does it take after the interview to hear yes, no, or you have been wait listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathleenf Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 NeoTrion, do you know when applicants accepted from the November 5th interview might be finding out? Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sorry I don't know. I know there are still interviews scheduled for November 3, 15 and December 6, 11. I know you were a quiet bunch on the 5th though lol. I think they might wait until after the interviews are done for the month before letting people know. I know for our class is was a combination of people knowing the next day (which were mainly people that interviewed toward the end of the year) to taking a couple of weeks.

cinntsp Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 NeoTrion, do you know when applicants accepted from the November 5th interview might be finding out? Thanks so much!! If last year is any indicator, it can be as early as the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Looks like Chris and I agree! I know in our class different people heard at different intervals, but it was as early as the next day. The rest is just pure conjecture. Chris is an excellent person to ask/answer any questions as well, and might be able to offer a different perspective on things.

cis0010 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I haven't heard anything just yet. Neo, by chance do you know if they send out denial letters once they review your application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missclarissac Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The interview process is really really laid back. Try not think of it as an interview itself, more like a conversation. They asking typical questions you would expect... why do you want to be a PA, why their program, etc etc. Try not to be nervous, they are really nice people! I've been accepted into the program, it's my first offer, just have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missclarissac Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Is this Mary Grace? I remember you! I got in to! This is Clarissa Cuellar by the way, I was in the last group to be interviewed too for the day haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannyn C Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Applying to PA school was a last minute change of plans, so I didnt get started until mid October. My app is complete but not verified by CASPA at this point. When I spoke to Texas Tech admissions two weeks ago I was told the app only needed to be completed (not verified) by Dec 1. Any ideas on what my chances are of getting an interview this late in the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wait to find out whether or not you're getting an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannyn C Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I feel like my application is pretty competitive as far as classes and experience. I have been an LVN since 2003. I was planning on finishing my BSN first to take a one of the PA programs in my area but I didnt get into the BSN program I applied to so I decided to apply and Tech and move to Midland if accepted. Right now I have around a 3.4 average and 18k hours of HCE. I have three letters of reference from MDs that I work with in the ER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
