Does anyone know how long the interviews normally run? Just trying to figure out if I'm able to go into work afterwards. Good luck to everyone interviewing!

Haven’t heard- when do you interview?

About 2.5 hours. Includes a 15 minute writing prompt.

For those accepted - which location ? Do they let you choose? I imagine first come first serve?

I interviewed on 9/5 and was accepted 9/11! 

[FuturePAInTheMaking]

I was accepted and I'm struggling with which location I should choose. Does anyone have any recommendations/ pros and cons? Any insight at all would be very helpful!

Are you from the area? Not interviewing until November but did they give you a choice of all three? Is this your top choice school? Congratualtions. I don’t know the area very well but I guess it would depend if you want a bigger city more accessible - then Harrisburg but if you want the college campus environment then Lockhaven?

I am not from the area. I'm from Maryland, so it doesn't really matter to me. They give you the ability to pick your top 2 locations and then place you from there.

Any tips for the interview without giving specifics? Interviewing Monday and just trying to be as prepared as possible. 

How long was the actual interview? 

Did they say how long it will take to hear back after the interview?

TIA

Thats great! I have my interview coming up and was curious to know what kind of writing prompt they have you complete. Is it like a clinical situation which you have to address?

Have you heard back? I was also placed in the hold category and have not received anything yet.

I was placed on hold since September and received an acceptance today. There is still hope!
