rywinter Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I received my acceptance packet last Friday and sent my deposit in today. Couldn't be happier! Great program, great faculty. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitchbraun Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I received my acceptance letter as well! Anyone from the area know when to start looking for housing to sign a lease? Also places to recommend? Hopefully we will receive contact info eventually for other students to exchange this info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlaveofGod Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 During the interview, did they also ask for a writing sample? Can anyone briefly explain the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgancrandall Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 You just read an article and state your view on the issue For those accepted, I need a place to stay too! I'm from Indiana so I literally know NOTHING about the area and everyone graduating with me is either going to Chicago or St. Louis or something midwest so I know no one! Should be fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esklar Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I just got an interview! I was so nervous since I applied late. Hopefully I still have a chance though since it's only the 2nd group of interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholland0812 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sent my deposit in yesterday! Can't wait to meet everyone! For those of you interviewing.. just relax and be yourself! They aren't trying to trick you with questions, they genuinely want to get to know you. They will ask you why PA, not MD or NP; and how your background has prepared you for their program. They do a great job of making you relax! The writing sample wasn't a big deal.. just read a short article and write a short response. Good luck!

morgancrandall Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Also, I feel like there should be a Facebook group for admitted students! Does the school do that? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esklar Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Did anyone from the last interview group stay over in a hotel before the interview? I'm about 2 hours away so I'm thinking about driving up the night before and just crashing somewhere so I'm not rushing there in the morning of. Didn't know if anyone could recommend somewhere to stay. Just looking for something clean with a shower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiral905 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I stayed at "The Worcester" you can literally see the campus from the front of the hotel. Its a block away. Very convenient and it also has good breakfast incase you need it lol. Did anyone from the last interview group stay over in a hotel before the interview?

Getting super anxious now! Really hope the interview goes well. Anyone else going on the 18th? When did you all find out after the interview one way or the other?

esklar Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Starting to get nervous for Thursday! Does anyone who already interviewed mind sharing was there just one interview or were there a few different people to meet? And was it one-on-one or a panel? I looked on their website it seemed like just a one-on-one interview (it says an hour to more than a few hours depending on the program) but I wasn't sure if that was for undergraduate students or graduate students. Anyone mind sharing a little info? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone mind sharing a little info? Thanks! It's a one-on-one interview and it's really relaxed. There is also a writing component for like 20 or 30 minutes. They also give a tour. No panels or anything like that - they keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esklar Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for the advice morgancrandall! Just got back not too long ago. Long day... Hi to everyone I met today! Hope it went well... and now the waiting begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mzigwig Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I got accepted as well :). I moved all the way from Minnesota to the East Coast with my husband last fall so I really had to research the programs I was applying to. Its a great primary care program, however, I have met excellent surgical PAs that came from Manchester as well. For anyone interviewing, this was probably the more relaxed of the interviews I have had. I wouldn't be nervous going in- they just want to get to know you. Its a one-on-one interview so just be personal and be yourself. There is a secret hidden gem of a book written by Andrew Rodican as well that was a great help in preparing for my interviews. Good luck to anyone interviewing and I look forward to meeting fellow classmates :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mzigwig Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yes, an e-mail is sent out after your deposit that states that they will create a private Facebook page for all accepted students to join in the summer. Did you receive an confirmation e-mail of your deposit and seat acceptance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mzigwig Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I spoke with an alum and she said to stick as close to the campus as possible. She lived only a mile and a half away and drove to school but she said that with traffic it could take 20-30 minutes. I am thinking renting out a house is a good idea and Manchester is relatively cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
