mcpaim Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It was by email. Hang in there, ToppDog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpaim Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Reading the blog, I realize that some applicants will be travelling from out of town. In which case, it'd be a great idea to meet at the Hilton or Holiday Inn the day before Yakima interviews (Dec. 1) too. Maybe some time later in the evening once travelling is done? Would an applicant like to say when and where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I will have room for 3 others in my car to drive for dinner. I am thinking 6:30 or 7 pm sounds good? I will look up some spots to eat unless someone who lives there has a suggestion. Once we decide I will make us reservations :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corywhitlock Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hey guys, my name is Cory I'm a firefighter/Paramedic from Las Vegas. I got word Thursday for the interview December 1st. I'm pretty pumped and wanted to say hello and congratulations to everybody! Just as a note, I replied to the mass email in late October and selected Tacoma as my primary choice, but got an interview on December 1st. Not sure what that may mean, but I'm excited nonetheless. Has anybody been through this interview process? What can I expect? I read somebody say essay, activities, group interviews... Wondering if anybody had any details so I can get prepared. Good luck to you all and look forward to meeting you all! Cory Whitlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracie A. Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Second street grill looks good to me - variety on the menu, nearby hotels... anyone else have suggestions? http://www.secondstreetgrill.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Second Street Grill looks great Tracie! Got my room booked at the Hilton Garden, I think a nice casual get together will be a great ice breaker for us all, should definitely help with our group stuff on the 1st :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyridereburg Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The grill looks good to me, you can count me in. These meet up's definetly help the next day to feel more relaxed. I think 6-630pm would be a good time to meet. Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing a cold beverage . Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corywhitlock Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hey guys, just an update. I called to confirm my spot in the interviews and asked them about the Tacoma site interviews. The individual I spoke with in admissions said that they are combining the interview for both sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well that would be awesome!! But the person that I talked to said that they were interviewing for Tacoma in January......lol.... Who knows??? It is so nerve wracking to sit and wait. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Now I think that someone should start a "Tacoma Site Interview Thread".....get the mojo going, it seemed to work well for Yakima : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistercire Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Asterlington- I found two spelling errors and a few misplaced 's. Damn it. Oh well, im sure after reading 800+ essays they won't notice. The LAST WORD of my Caspa application has a gammatical error. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I feel your pain mistercire....hahaha......I am hoping that it will slide right on by.......... ~ AS ps. I have also decided that I really like my CASPA essay much better than my MEDEX essay.....So at least I have a jump on next year, should it become necessary. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistercire Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I also like my CASPA application more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
