jakegordon Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I got an email today that simply said, "Welcome to the upap_2ndInterview list." Is this the email the rest of you got? Not sure what it means, as there was no further information provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qman1988 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I am starting to get worried I won't get an interview. I have heard nothing. I interviewed here last year and I have improved a lot from last year in my opinion. I will be really disappointed if I do not interview again.

soccernut Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Wow, I thought I was a really good applicant for UPAP. I heard that in previous years UPAP sent out all of the interview invites on the same day. It's not looking good and looks like I'm moving out of state. It's a sad day. Good luck to everyone!

JJC Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I was rejected today but I only have 3,000 hours so i'm not surprised - oh well time to move from Utah will probably be a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcreek Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Rcreek. Your an advanced emt in WJ? Who do you run with? What agency? I don't run with a fire dept., I'm an ER Tech. The emergency department I work in requires that we are certified to at least the Advanced EMT level. I have worked some other jobs as an EMT before that, but never on a rig.

mandyt Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 On the website, it says the average accepted individual has more than 5000 hours of healthcare experience. I personally exceed this amount. But, I believe the school can miss out on some good people due to focusing too much on this criteria. Either way, good luck to everyone.

rcreek Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 On the website, it says the average accepted individual has more than 5000 hours of healthcare experience. I personally exceed this amount. But, I believe the school can miss out on some good people due to focusing too much on this criteria. Either way, good luck to everyone. At the time of my application I think I had about 4,500. But I wonder if they ever accept any who just barely meet the 2,000 hr minimum. UPAP used to be a MEDEX program, and MEDEX currently has a 4,000 hour minimum. I am actually glad that this program values HCE so highly. There are many who don't and are on the opposite extreme by accepting students with very little experience at all. I think that is a detriment to the PA profession. I really feel that the program does their best to accept well-rounded applicants. Of course with high numbers of applicants they have no choice but to first look at key quantitative measures like HCE hours and GPA. Qualitative evaluation starts with the personal narrative and letters of rec, but really begins and ends with the actual interview process - of which UPAP probably has one of the most extensive and grueling. I'm staying hopeful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcreek Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just wrapped up my interviews at this AMAZING program a couple days ago. I wish everyone the best who will be interviewing in the second group this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew17 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What was everyone’s GPA, and clinical hours/clinical job? I have a 3.46 gpa and 8000 clinical hours doing cardiac ultrasounds and x-ray. I didn’t get an interview but just seeing how I can improve for this next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
