Audidane Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I applied and got an email stating that there are currently no seats available for May 2018 and that they will contact us to interview if any seats open up. I wish I would have saved my money and not applied here because I highly doubt they will interview anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moleashish Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I felt the same way at first. However, I believe few seats opened up last year due to their BS to PA student dropping out or failing to meet requirements. I don't know how many seats will open up this year. It is hard to decide to accept to go interview for a waitlist. I feel like what if this is the only school that will accept me and to not give it a try might hold me back another year. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psych2PA Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I also applied to this program but received no such email.. and I'm kind of confused about this... CASPA opened in APRIL. How in the heck are all their seats filled up by now for next year? Am I missing something? Did they interview people within the time CASPA opened till now, and filled all their seats up? I find that hard to believe maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have I believe 5 year BS to PA program and majority of the seats are already filled up through that. So, the only time we would get chance to interview for a seat is if one of the students in that program drop out or do not meet the requirements. I had to read the previous years thread and read through the schools website about their BS to PA program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padream127 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I just received an interview invite for the waitlist. I agree with you and doubt that there would be students dropping their seats- they already got into their master program so I don't see a reason to waste money to apply for other programs. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moleashish Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I just received an email inviting for interview for the waitlist as well. Even though it is for waitlist, I needed this as having started to get rejection emails from few schools already. I emailed and requested Oct 9th interview date. Hopefully, things go well and the waitlist people get chance to matriculate. My application was completed 6/19. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStillwagon Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I have a friend who graduated from this program. She was called last minute from the waitlist because several people didn't pass the undergrad portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinaprepa Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I also received an email for an interview on 10/09/2017 for the waitlist. I was accepted into another program and do not know if it is worth it to go to the interview? I would like to keep my options open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejw50 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I also received an email today saying I was selected to interview for the waitlist on either 10/9 or 11/17. Excited for this opportunity, and best of luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like your coming out from my state. Im leaving out of LAX on the 8th into Pitts and staying at a motel next to the airport. Ill be driving in on the 9th from Pitts and its about a 2 hour drive. From my research this was the cheapest option even if its a bit out of the way. What part of cali are you flying out of?

KW_prePA-S Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 are people bringing a portfolio to the interview? I've seen on other threads that's a common trend for some other schools, but I feel like with this being such a long day it might be awkward carrying it around all day?

ejw50 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hey guys, The 10/9 interview is coming up and I will be arriving this Sunday (10/8) at a hotel 15 minutes from the campus. Does anyone want to get together that day to check out the campus, and discuss any details about the interview? As this is my first interview, I know the process can be a bit stressful. Feel free to pm me! Thanks, and best of luck to all of you! --Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
