MimiPA Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Ya I tend to blank out even if I know the answers bc of interview nerves. What were your stats if you don’t mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaviPA Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 GPA 3.78, science GPA 3.35 due to my freshman year/sophomore community college years where I sucked at chem but my undergrad years at a 4 year school I had As after working on my studying/organizational skills.

Did they take into account your current location. Like if you had to travel to go to the interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaviPA Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I am not sure. I live about 40min drive away so perhaps they do and that's why I was given a date so close to the confirmation email? Anyways, so everyone does come at 9am. When you get here, the front desk guard will let you know what time your individual interview is. We weren't told in the email, we were all just told to come at 9am so if your interview is in the afternoon, its a long wait. Once everyone is there, you are given your 30 minute timed essay to do. Make sure to bring snacks and your notes just in case you have a long wait for your interview, once it's your time, they will come get you. The people there seemed very chill and fun - that goes for both the prospective students, the faculty, and current students. The interviewers were all past PA students of the program and the interview itself was very relaxed, the questions were more about getting to know you. By the end of it, I felt I was more nervous for nothing because of how nice they were, they make sure you're comfortable and that the environment is inviting. They're all very sweet. Don't forget to send thank you emails as well and show you know their program well.

Bria1111 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I live in Georgia. Does CUNY only prefer NY residents? What are my chances of getting an interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shared my experience up above and that is all I am limited to say. I wish you luck on the interview! The fact you got invited means you already got one foot in , congrats!!!

PrePAEmily4 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 First of all, congrats to those who have gotten interviews! Does anyone know if they are still sending out interviews? I have 3000 pt care hours and a 3.8 GPA and haven’t heard anything yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaviPA Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I believe they are still interviewing. It's not on a rolling basis so it shouldn't matter when you applied. Final decisions go out April 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
