ABpa Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hey everyone! I just got a letter in the mail being asked to interview at the end of November. Anyone else heard back or know what the interviews are like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarciKiser Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 ECU is a pretty traditional interview - they usually schedule it in half-day blocks (a morning and afternoon session), and do two individual interviews and one small group exercise. In the small group, the faculty will task you with developing a solution to some sort of health policy problem ("is full-genome sequencing a good thing or bad thing for patients", etc.) They're not terribly interested in what you come up with, but how you act in the group: do you dominate the conversation, do you contribute nothing, etc. They're huge proponents of "PAs are part of a team-based approach to medicine." ECU is also the only PA school I know of that has put a specific commitment to improving rural health care in their mission statement, so you might want to think about specific answers as to why that appeals to you.

schurch1 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I also will be interviewing on November 30th. I have a good friend who is in their first year of PA school at ECU and he said everyone was very friendly and the interview process was relaxing while still asking questions that make you think on your feet. Good luck and hope to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desekc Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I interviewed today (nov 30th). Did anyone else that interviewed today get a straight answer for how long it will be until we get a decision on if we got in or not? It seemed like everyone I asked had a different answer...

harvey Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If we are in their top percentage of interviewees, then we will find out by Christmas. If not, then February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramey Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I interviewed on November 30th as well! Hope to hear something soon! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewpirate Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Applied to ECU, hoping to hear soon about an interview! The letter they sent me earlier this year said I'd be notified in mid-December whether I'd get an interview or not, with the interview coming sometime in Jan, so I'm keeping the fingers crossed. Already had an interview down at UAB, which was very much like Marcikiser described...waiting to hear back from there too. Good luck to everyone already interviewed, hope it went well!

harvey Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I interview at 1pm on November 30th. I don't think any of us have heard- it freaked me out though that two of you morning people had!

69fordfastback Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think I might be the red headed step child of the bunch. I was notified of my interview on 1-3-13 and mine is on the 11th @ 1:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
