No actually, I was given 2 optional interview dates. I tried to click on the July option but it quickly filled up. Okay! Above you said “Submitted and verified 5/24” and you also posted that on 6/29. But in this comment you said you submitted your supplemental application on 6/29 which would me you submitted your supplemental and got an interview email all on 6/29? Sorry just confused!!

I'm so sorry for the confusion! I think I sent that comment really late at night so I was not paying attention! Yes, you're right, I had my Caspa verified and submitted 5/24 and then I submitted my supplement 2 days afterward. Interview offered 6/29.

It will be alright, just be yourself. Try to show not to tell only. You can connect your answers to how it impacted and shaped you with an example. Have a good breakfast and do your best and that's all you can do at the end of the day. Sorry for the questions, but what do you mean exactly by this? Lol do they ask a question about something impacting and shaping you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol do they ask a question about something impacting and shaping you? Here are my 2 cents: I believe the interview is there for them to know who you are and why you're interested in PA ( I have people saying, it is for them to make sure you are not a serial killer, lol). Any interview will assess your background, experience, and your goals to see if they align with their mission. Disclaimer: ( This question is not part of any real interview. It's just a made-up question for discussion, and it doesn't break any rules or integrity of any actual interview.) Why do you want to be a Chemist? Background(tell): My passion for chemistry began with a fascination for fireworks on my July 4th birthday. I was captivated by the dazzling displays of fireworks on my special day. My lifelong fascination with fireworks sparked my passion for science and curiosity, leading me to major in chemistry during college. Show: I have conducted research during college and performed chemistry magic shows for four years. As a TA for organic chemistry, I honed my teaching, pipetting, titration, and chemical analytical skills. Currently, I work as a research assistant in nanoparticles, and I am eager to expand my understanding of how organic materials can contribute to saving and improving human life. Conclusion: Becoming a chemist through your program will allow me to unravel the mysteries of the natural world and make a positive impact on society.( tailor it to the program goals and mission) This answer demonstrates how my fascination with fireworks has shaped me to become a chemist. This is just my suggestion that I have found to be effective. Regardless of the question, the above technic can be applied to all of them. I recommend to read "How To "Ace" The Physician Assistant School Interview" or The Ultimate Guide to Getting Into Physician Assistant School by Andrew J.

I read Savanna Perry's Interview book to prepare, and I would say it was the most helpful. I practiced almost every question and recorded myself, making sure I stayed at the 2-5 minute mark. It was really helpful (and cringey) to hear myself! I also had my little sister ask me questions. I paid for a mock interview a week before my interview through the PAplatform, and although I got great feedback, I do not think it is necessary. I was extremely nervous beforehand, and I wish I could say something to help, but unfortunately, I don't think there is. Be confident in your journey thus far and remind yourself of the story you want to tell because, believe me, the interview goes by so fast! Good luck!!
