ToppDog Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Several applicants have said that they would like to practice their interview skills with each other, & for any of you that have read the various getting into PA school guides out there, you know this is highly recommended. So, some of us have arranged a meeting where this can be done. For those who would like to participate & are able to be in Auburn, WA on November 10th, we will be meeting at the Auburn Public Library from 10 am until 2 pm. If you would like to attend, let us know here so we can get an approximate headcount. Seating is somewhat limited, as it's a smaller room, but we would like to try to accommodate anyone who wishes to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToppDog Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just a reminder that this is happening a little more than a week from now for anyone interested in joining in or meeting other MEDEX applicants to discuss things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I was also thinking this would be a good opportunity for all of us to brush up on some of the current issues facing PAs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerlily Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Are we going to exchange statements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yeah, I liked that idea. For those that are coming & are interested in doing the mock interviews, we are each bringing a list of common PA school interview questions & for those that want a more realistic MEDEX interview scenario, bring along 2 copies of your CASPA & MEDEX statements so the mock interviewer can use them to ask questions, as this WILL happen to you during your interviews.

ToppDog Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Now that it's going to be a week away, let's try to get a headcount. So, who's definitely going to be there? I am :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerlily Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm there, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I am! My A&P instructor had actually been accepted to MedEx also before he decided to pursue teaching full time instead of PA... I'll see if he can send me some tips on interview prep :) Are we coming dressed prepped for interview? Maybe we'll get lucky and hear this next week if we're in on the interviews :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 ...Are we coming dressed prepped for interview?... If you want opinions on an outfit you have planned to wear, then sure. Otherwise, casual is fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Sounds like a plan! I'll need to go shopping as soon as I hear if I've gotten to interview or not. I've lost 80 lbs over the last year - so between that and an invitation to interview - I vote that I have a good reason to go and spoil myself!

tigerlily Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That's fantastic Tracie, congrats! As far as shopping goes, I will also wait until I find out if I get an invite or not. I also wish we could find our about the interviews soon; but I heard that the last couple of years they didn't send the invites for Yakima until around Thanksgiving :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Both if I get my invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerlily Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Both if I get my invite. Of course, sounds good. I don't think any of us will go shopping for suits/business wear until we find out whether we get an invite or not. Are you in the area? If so, we will look forward to seeing you on the 10th (this Saturday)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
