hugmeyet Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Nice to see so many posts since yesterday. I am curious as to how many seats will be available for the Tacoma class? Is it going to be a significant increase in MEDEX total student body or are they going to accept less for Yakima and just have Tacoma as an additional site to train with 2 smaller class sizes i.e. Yakima & Tacoma. I interviewed in Yakima last year, the room where we did our testing/information session was the class that Yakima students used for lecture and it was pretty small. I know that they did not fill to capacity this years Yakima class. That is the origin of my thought that maybe Yakima and Tacoma will both be smaller than what Yakima previously accepted (roughly 27). I am not trying to get mixed up in some numbers game, but as you all know our minds can do some pretty tricky things while we wait to hear about interviews.

asterlington Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Those are good questions, I would assume that the addition of Tacoma would potentially mean 20 - 25 more spots, but I don't know???? Like you, my mind can get kinda crazy........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistercire Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Tacoma will add an additional 24 seats to the MEDEX graduating class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Steve Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hahaha.....We'll make a great group huh! I heard a recent interview on NPR suggesting that OCD is a good thing! The interviewee stated that it is a sign of good multitasking skills!!!! I say YES to that!!! What scholarship sites are you looking at mister? I should probably be doing the same thing. ps. I made the cardinal sin in my essay....."Physicians Assistant" vs "Physician Assistant"....I agonized over it and in the end went with the advise of my PA friend to make it grammatically correct, as in context of my sentence....I think that it was a BIG No No!! I am willing to bet serious money that the possessive S will not be a reason (if you don't get accepted) that you are rejected from the program. They look at a much bigger picture.

ToppDog Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The invites for Tacoma will most likely start going out in the next week or two, after they've completed the Yakima interview. Good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 That's what I'm thinking ToppDog! I know that the UW goes on break, effective 12/17, so I think that invites will go out the week before. Keeping my fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburch Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Im stressing out! I was told by Mariah they will do a second round of Yakima interviews at the same time they interview for Tacoma! Has anyone heard anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 No, not yet but I think that we might hear something next week. I am assuming that they follow the universities break schedule which begins the 17th and ends like the 7th.....I am making the assumption that interviews will be during that first week back. Its just a guess so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
