lelawadi Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Good luck to all of those who got interviews scheduled. I'm still hanging onto hope :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelawadi Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 And from the looks of it, last year a person received the call to interview on March 31st so there is definitely still time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddjillian Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does anyone know how many people they are interviewing this year? I know in years past they interviewed 60-70, but when I asked a current student there, she thought it was about 4 times the amount of seats they have this year. Just wondering if anyone knew if she was right or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev9901 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 At the informational meeting last month they said they interview about twice the number they intend to take. Your number looks right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddjillian Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 That's what I thought. Thanks, Trev, and good luck on your interview tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewelsh2 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi everyone! I am new to this thread and have applied to the program for fall of 2013. I received a call today for an interview that will be in Friday. For those of you who have already interviewed or been through this process in the past- any tips or suggestions? I am extremely nervous, especially with only about a day to prepare! Any thoughts would be great and best of luck to those interviewing/ waiting for a call!

Rosmarie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I got a call today too (on my cell), so apparently calls go out on other days besides Mondays. My interview is this Saturday. Does anyone know what interview format they use- group, individual? Anyone else scheduled for Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewelsh2 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I spoke with a current student and she said the interview process is done individually, and there are three people doing the interview process. She typically two PA school staff/ teachers, and one non-PA school staff member. Anyone interviewing tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelawadi Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey, congrats to everyone that got a call/interview already. If you don't mind sharing, how many volunteer hours did you have? Also, were your references letters from PA's? Just curious :) Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddjillian Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks, lelawadi! I have about 5,000 paid patient care hours and about 700 volunteer patient care hours. I had one letter from a PA, one from a MD, and one from an old boss. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev9901 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have just under 18,000 paid patient care hours and no volunteer patient care hours. Two letters were from MD's and the 3rd was from my EMS coordinator who recently left for medical school. Thanks and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akbazzi Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Congrats to everyone that's received an interview. For those that have, would you mind sharing when you submitted your CASPA and supplemental application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saklausmeier Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I just received a call today for an interview for Monday. I'm so nervous already! But to answer you question, as far as HCE I had around 2,000, thats between working at a hospital and doing home care. As for letters of recommendation I had 1 from a PA that I shadowed/worked with, 1 from the former owner of the home health care company I worked for, and 1 from the daughter of a woman I did home care for. When I went to the PA informational meeting at U of D they said that they weren't placing a huge emphasis on the amount of volunteer hours. They were mostly interested in your HCE, grades on the supplemental application, GRE, and she also said if you have a interesting personal statement that helped. Hope that this helped! Good luck!

trev9901 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Akbazzi, if I recall correctly my CASPA application was received by UDM in the first week in January. I mailed the supplemental application in the 1st week of February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
