PAok Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Do they accept mostly UNC students or do they not give preference to where you are from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbwiley Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't know if they give a preference. We have two students who graduated from UNC undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurepa1122 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 They don't offer interviews until after their deadline passes. So no interviews should be expected until after August 1st? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbwiley Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Correct! They do not offer interveiws until after August 1 and they will most likely offer all of them at the same time because the interviews Will all be in the same week . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbwiley Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 They also said that there is no preference for UNC grads vs other applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n577 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I know last year the interview invites went out only a couple weeks before the interviews. Does anyone know if we should expect a similar time line this year or if it will be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncnative Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Do you know how many applicants are offered interviews? I just received an email for an interview offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mischiefmanaged Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Do you know how many applicants are offered interviews? I just received an email for an interview offer!I think they did 60 interviews for 20 seats last year. Not sure if accreditation has allowed them to bump up the class size or what they'll do differently since they now have a year under their belt.

futurepa1122 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Do you know how many applicants are offered interviews? I just received an email for an interview offer! When is your interview? Are they doing them like last year where they have a week in October to choose a date and time from? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabound2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Correct! They do not offer interveiws until after August 1 and they will most likely offer all of them at the same time because the interviews Will all be in the same week .Im really hoping this is not the case this year as I haven't received any news of an interview offer and it looks like someone has already gotten one. Congrats to everyone who has gotten one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabound2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Does anybody know if they send out all the invites in one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncnative Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think all the invites went out in one day with a link to a survey with 5/6 different date options. Not 100% positive about this but am pretty sure! Did anyone interview at UNC last year and have any comments/thoughts/advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbwiley Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi! I interviewed last year and am happy to answer any questions you have. They will be different than they were last year so I can't tell you exactly how they will go but ask away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apressley Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hey! Can you tell us some of the questions they asked and what your interview was structured like? Did you like the faculty and campus? This year the interviews are from 8-4 so I'm sure they will be different, but it's worth asking. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcomber Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Best of luck to all applying and interviewing! I'm very excited for my interview on 8/29 and greatly look forward to meeting everyone else interviewing that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncnative Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Those were the exact questions I was going to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbwiley Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I love the faculty and the campus is beautiful! As for the interviews- they are very different from what they were last year so I can not speak to what kind of questions there will be. My best advice is to think about why you want to become a PA, what motivates you in that aspect, and go through the generic questions they tend to ask at interviews. Practice them out loud and figure out exactly what you want to convey to the panel. Make sure you show them what you could add to the class and what different experiences you bring to the table. I honestly believe you just need to be yourself. They chose you out of a ton of applicants so you have already impressed them. Now is the time to show them why you would be a good fit for this program and not just give the answers you think they want to hear. It's cliche but seriously- be yourself. Practice generic questions out loud with someone too. It really helped me to see what they got out of my answer so that I could tweak it to make Sure I was explaining myself better the next time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apk1025 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Has anyone been accepted yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enc3221 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Has anyone been accepted yet? I interviewed on 8/26 and have not heard anything yet. I got the impression that they plan to wait until all interviews are completed. Not positive though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
