Soulfari Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Dude it's Yale. Buy a ticket or you might always wonder, "what if..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The only time I'd roll the dice and not head up to Yale is if you have an spot somewhere else you like or you really don't like Yale. Otherwise, buy the ticket on an airline like Southwest or JetBlue where there are no or low change fees and head up there. There are worse places in the world than New Haven. Just sayin...

jlbrooks321 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 A couple of questions that I'm not sure anyone has the answer to: 1. Has anyone heard a definitive "no" yet, with or without an interview? 2. Has anyone been called after the initial interview invitations? In other words, have they called a second round of applicants for interviews? Because it seems like, from what I've been reading, everyone who has interviewed already or has one in the near future was called around 3 weeks ago. Any insight is appreciated. Good luck everyone!

Paramedic Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 They are doing 7 rounds of interviews and have only completed 3. With the deadline just pasted they still have plenty of applicants to process, the waiting period sucks, trust me I desire a phone call every day and have yet to receive on for acceptance. I am sure they have not scheduled all the interviews yet so keep your head up and I only know of a few, around 6-8, people that have been accepted so there is room for you and me.

reinita1002 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I attended this weeks interview and I have not been called either. Patience is a virtue :) There are still many individuals to be interviewed so I know they aren't giving acceptances out so fast. jlbrooks321: They are still calling applicants. They have not filled all the interview spots yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate123 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'll be declining my invitation to interview at Yale due to my acceptance at UF!!! I cannot stress enough how awesome the interview experience is at UF. They do an amazing job at immersing you in all the aspects of the UFPA Program. Good luck to anyone still waiting on interviews/acceptances!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonden Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 On a positive note, they have only filled around 10% of the class and have interviewed almost half the interviewers. The odds are in our favor, let the waiting game continue! :) Best of luck to everyone about to interview. Too bad everyone can't get in. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one interviews for a wait list spot at UF and everyone interviewed has a fair shot. This is reflective of how everything is run (fair but rigorous) and IMO that's a good thing.

I agree, when I heard about this, it really made me appreciate the program and that they are truly here for their students. Thanks GC, you are amazing! :) Still keeping my fingers crossed.

TDubz Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi, guys, I'm new to the PA Forum, and from the info I've been reading, I'm glad I registered! So I sent my CASPA Aug. 29 (I know it's really late in the app cycle, but I had to find a job first... didn't want to apply with zero patient contact hours), but it didn't mail til Sept. 6 (which I know is past the priority deadline). My GRE, supplemental, letters, and everything is in, but I only got one email on Aug. 29 basically saying thanks for applying to UF. Haven't gotten any notification that my application has been forwarded to review... nothing.I emailed Melinda asking her if she could please confirm receipt of documents a few days ago. Understandably, she's busy, so I don't expect a reply til later. But should I be legitimately worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcw10e Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I was in last weeks interview group and got my call this morning! So excited and happy. Can't wait to meet everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currin21 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Just got my call from Melinda this morning, and she offered me an interview spot for November 4th and 5th! Super excited! Anyone else interviewing on those days? The waiting was difficult, but definitely worth it. Best of luck to everyone still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Sounds like Melinda had a busy Monday. Congrats to all who got calls today! I can't wait to almost lose my voice again meeting the next round of interviewees :) Hi, guys, I'm new to the PA Forum, and from the info I've been reading, I'm glad I registered!

Things are a bit busy round these parts. However, there are quite a few interview days left, so no need to worry just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddster76 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 For all of you that are already in the program, how long did it take to hear after your interview? And how did you deal with the "waiting game"? I feel like I'm developing a twitch because I look at my phone so much haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I just kept myself busy, stayed positive, and focused on the fact that I would hear something eventually. School is a ways away. The time to call is pretty variable across the class. I heard after a month and a half, some people in my class heard immediately, and others got calls in May. The good thing is that you will know if you are on the waitlist by January, since the school puts together the "final" lists by the end of the semester. This is a waiting game unfortunately. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinita1002 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hey everyone! So I interviewed on Sept 30 - Oct 1 and just got my call of acceptance from Melinda on Monday! :) I am so excited and cannot wait to be a Gator once again! Just be patient and stay positive as GreatChecko said! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

currin21 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm still waiting for Melinda to send information about my interview details for Nov. 4th and 5th, but I'm wondering if anyone who has already interviewed can tell me an approximated time that Orientation starts on the first day? Is it early in the morning or that afternoon? Trying to make travel arrangements. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Mills Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm also waiting for information on the interview but from what she told me on the phone about the orientation on Oct. 21st was to be there at 1:15pm. Not sure if it's the same time for all interview sessions but i'm guessing all the orientations take place in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Monica is right it starts at 130 pm but be there 30 minutes early because parking can be difficult, if you can arrange pickup and drop off, it would be smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
