I just applied :) I was reading about the brand new building that was built for the sole purpose of educating PAs. It interested me. I hope to catch you at a virtual fair. Have you began interviewing students ?

[JJC]

Interview Scheduled Sept 20th!!! I can't believe its finally time!

[la03]

jacecrawford, me too! I received a letter in the mail today with a formal invitation to interview and a phone number to set it up but I'm assuming I do not need to call because I already made the appt over the phone? Also, have you received an e-mail or letter in the mail with interview details such as directions, address, etc?

[DMaistre]

When did you guys apply? I applied back in June, but didnt send in my GRE scores till July 26

[JJC]

I submitted my GRE on my caspa June 6th. My app was mailed June 21st.

 

Are you interviewing anywhere else ?

[la03]

submitted july 15. jacecrawford, have you received anything from JWU with interview details?

[DMaistre]

Yes I have interviews at quinnipiac and stony brook so far. Maybe it because they didn't get my GRE scores till end of July/early August. Fingers crossed!

[aks90]

Anyone interviewing Oct 4th? I am so excited I can hardly wait!

[bstar9]

I'm interviewing October 4th! For those of you who interviewed on the 20th, how did it go!?

[la03]

It was laid back, not high stress. The faculty really just want to get to know you! Good luck!

[bstar9]

Have any of you heard back yet on an acceptable who interviewed already?  Did they mention what the turn around time would be for the decision making process?

[stolt180]

bstar9--

 

I was accepted 3 days after the interview and have chosen to attend JWU in June!

 

I've also interviewed at South University and GW, and have interview invites at OHSU, Quinnipiac, Drexel, University of New England, DMU, and Rush, but I've decided to cancel because I had such a positive experience in Providence. 

 

Good luck to you!

Hi Stolt,

 

When did you interview at JWU?  Did they call, email, or send a letter?

[bstar9]

Just heard back with an acceptance...so ecstatic!!!! :):)

[krissten27]

bstar9- congrats! I think we applied to a lot of the same schools :)  JWU is my top chioce, when did you submit you CASPA? They didn't get all my info till the end of September, hopefully that is why I haven't heard about an interview yet!

 

do you mind sharing your stats? or you can message me!

[stolt180]

Congratulations, bstar!

 

Have you decided if you are going to attend JWU? 

I would like to start a forum or Facebook group for the class of 2016! :)

[bstar9]

Yes please do!  I have a few more programs to interview at but JWU is at the top of my list :)

Hi, first off, congrats to everyone who has interviewed and/or been accepted!! I was wondering if any of you could comment on what the interview is like, I'm interviewing on Nov. 1st and it sounds laid back but I'd love to have more of an idea of what the day is like. Thanks so much!

[bstar9]

There are two interviews and the interviews are 2 on 1 (2 interviewers, 1 applicant).  It sounds a little bit intimidating but everyone was very nice and welcoming.  I actually found it easier because it's less stressful having to focus on and make eye contact with one interviewer; you can kind of switch the direction of your conversation back and forth.  There weren't any crazy, unusual questions.  The normal stuff like tell me about your experience or something specific on your CV, why PA, why now, etc.  There is a group discussion activity and an easy writing sample also.  

 

The first part of the day is an overview with light refreshments and pastries, and at the end of the day they treated us to lunch at one of the school's restaurants!  Let me know if you have any other specific questions!

[ppelavin]

Thanks so much bstar9, I'm really looking forward to it, sounds like a fantastic program!

[ppelavin]

I just heard back with an acceptance after my interview on Nov. 1st and I'm so, so excited!! I was so impressed with everything that I heard and saw at the interview and am fairly certain I'll be attending JWU in June.

 

Stolt180 - did you start a forum or group of any sort?

[la03]

I would also like to know about a forum or group for the class entering next june! Very excited (:

[mnm823]

do you guys mind sharing your stats? I submitted my application at the end of Oct (late i know :/ ) and am still waiting to hear back from them....
