leah-t Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Are there any graduates of Pacific University's PA program here? I applied and would like to ask some questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenyabill Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm a current 1st year student there. Maybe I can help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leah-t Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Great!! I have questions about why you decided to apply there, other than meeting admission requirements? How does the faculty help the students succeed? And it's modular curriculum design is different from the other schools to which I have applied, do you think that is a strong point?

primadonna22274 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I am an alum c/o 2000--we were the guinea pigs! You guys have a beautiful new building and established faculty. We met in a double-wide off-campus and we all did ok :) I'm proud to be a PUPA but agree a more recent PA-S could help you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leah-t Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 One more question, what was their interview process like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted October 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 28, 2012 The interview process, which I last participated in in 2011 (as a 2nd year student), is pretty straightforward. One get-to-know you interview, with a faculty member and a community PA who is often a program grad. One writing sample. Group presentations with Q&A, mingling with students, fellow applicants, and faculty. When I interviewed in the 2009-10 season, I liked Pacific and UNE's interviews the best. No tricks, no "gotchas", just an open and direct interview process, where they selected the class from the best 1/8th (or so) of the applicants.
