Reeannuh Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 @aalyssa17 Love that you were atleast invited to interview, rock on! How was their whole process? Did you feel comfortable there? Did you feel confident after their interview? Were you surprised you were waitlisted? I interviewed last year at three places and felt like I was under prepared, my nerves got the best of me... and they just go so FAST!

Reeannuh Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 @LeBronisGOAT Dang! I feel you on that... for how much their program cost, you'd think they would want to know more. Did you re-apply? Did the sub app ask more personal questions to get to know you more to off-set the weird interview style? ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time applying, I haven't been offered an interview yet! I was just curious of the students stats for those offered interviews last year.

shells77 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hi guys. I am a current student at this program. I am a little over half a quarter in. The way that Davis picks their students is a little bit different than most schools. The main purpose of the interview is to get a general sense of your personality, make sure you'll fit in with the culture of the program, and look for any "red flags." The secondary is your chance to really shine and tell them what makes you unique. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you receive your interview request and do they have more then one interview session? Also could you tell us what the secondary application was like? Was it more essay style questions? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeannuh Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 @shells77 wonderful insight, thank you! What's the best part of the program so far? How much studying are you doing in a given week for your comfort level? Do you remember what you talked about during your interview regarding your uniqueness? Did you come from out of state? I currently live in TN and wanted to get some reference about travel & housing agendas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only program in the country where NP and PA study together, what is that like? I also heard that there is a lot of independent study in this program, is this true? What is the percentage you must get on exams before you have to remediate? Did anyone in your class decelerate or leave the program? Current student. We were in most classes together with about 20 NPs. They are phasing this out to separate the programs but I don’t know when that takes effect. Class for us was on average 4 days a week with 8 hour days give or take. Not sure what you mean by independent study. PA school in general requires a lot of time outside the classroom, on your own, learning material. You can not get below a 70% on an exam without remediation. Some individuals took time off due to personal reasons but no one dropped out as far as I'm aware. Hope this answers your questions.

I was waitlisted the first time I applied (2017-2018 cycle) Is anyone a reapplicant here? I was wondering if they keep track of reapplicants or previously waitlisted applicants. The CASPA application didn’t ask if I was a reapplicant or what I have done to improve my application overall... I am also a reapplicant! I was waitlisted last year, so I'm giving it another go since this is my first choice. I am hoping that they keep track of the waitlisted reapplicants... that would give me a little more confidence/hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received an invitation on 9/28 last year so I'm assuming it'll be around the same time this year. They send out a mass email to sign up for an interview date on a website Edited September 5, 2019 by LeBronisGOAT 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into the forums from last year and the year before, and it seems like invites were sent out during the last week of September. If so, we are almost there! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaGiwa Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hey Everyone! Goodluck to all of us! I'm hopefully that we hear back this week. Last year was on a Friday and the year before was on a Tuesday on the last week of September. So fingers crossed. I live on the East coast, so would that be 5 pm California time?
