Good luck with your applications!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stolt180 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 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? Congratulations everyone! I have not started a forum or group yet. Is this something you're interested in starting soon, @ppelavin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to, I'm from Pennsylvania so the drive isn't terrible but I think it said it doesn't start until 5pm? Unfortunately I would have work early the next morning, and I'm trying to reserve any days off for interviews :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainerRD12 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Does anyone know how many applications they received last year and how many seats they have? I just added them to my CASPA today - looks like a great program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubenstein Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Can anyone give some tips on what to expect for the interview? Seems kind of involved compared to my others and I'm quite nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainerRD12 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 No I've heard nothing I have sadly accepted the fact that this is probably not my year ....really tough when you want something so bad and thought it would pan out just fine then BAM now gotta wait another year. ....

Bjackarmy0001 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 When did you apply? With a deadline in march, i am sure there is still a chance for us! I just wish there was more interaction on this forum...feels like not many are on here with a ton of info and it is so new...you apply anywhere else?

jgaboria Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I applied in July but I didn't hear anything so I emailed someone to ask. I got a response in mid-august stating this, JWU operates on rolling admissions meaning we review all the time. We don’t always make an immediate decision on an applicant. Sometimes there is a wait period as we bring in some applicants for interviews and place others on hold. We will mail you a letter if your application is rejected and if not than your application is still considered to be under review. Keep the faith alive guys!! :) I haven't heard anything since that email in August but it's not over until you get a letter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainerRD12 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I interviewed at Pacific U in OR and was denied - waiting to hear something from Samuel Merritt in Oakland but they only have 40 spots for 2000+ applicants so not holding my breath - it seems the East coast programs have much lower applicant #'s from my research, just more programs out there....we own a house in CA so not sure I would even want to be away from my husband for 2+ years to do an east coast program.....competition is so tough - I knew it would be tough and looking back I should have applied to WAY more than 4 programs......I still have anatomy in progress (re-take due to being 9 years ago) so some programs would not consider you if classes in progress. Anyway good luck to all, and hopefully we'll all end up as PAs some day ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatch1485 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Does anyone know how they notify you of an interview? I know some schools email but I thought I saw on here that JWU will call or mail a letter. Just curious. The waiting game is torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlf54 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi there, I have decided to attend the JWU PA program class of 2017, so I thought I would post here and offer the information I have, and maybe it will help some people out. I submitted everything in late June/early July, got a phone call and an email in mid September (I think) inviting me to interview on October 10. There was only about 11 of us at the interview, and I believe it was either their first or second interview date. It was my first PA interview so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the program president and all of the faculty were so friendly and helpful and I got such a great vibe from the atmosphere. There was a powerpoint presentation about the program, a small group activity/discussion, a 15 minute writing sample, and two interviews that were 15-20 minutes. Then there were 3 current students that came in to give us a tour of the facility (it is BRAND NEW and so gorgeous) and took us to one of the campus restaurants for lunch. They were so helpful in answering all kinds of questions about studying and living in Providence and their daily routine, and seemed to love their experience there thus far. I ended up getting an email and a phone call that same evening to say that I was accepted and that I had 4 weeks to put a deposit down. Out of all of my interviews, I enjoyed this one the most and ultimately ended up choosing a spot here. I believe there are 24 spots, so I am very excited to meet the rest of the class! I don't think there is a facebook group or anything made yet but I will keep an eye out...hopefully this is somewhat helpful and if anyone has more specific questions I can try to answer them. -Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
