amberDEE Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thought I would start a new thread pertaining to this cycle's interviews. I received an email invitation for an interview in December. Just wanted to let the rest of you who applied know that invites are out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveleatherson Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Is it too late to apply? Curious if anyone from previous classes have applied this late and received an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I know that the deadline is closed Dec 1st. But to be honest the earlier your apply, the better your outlook. It isn't an instant rejection or wait listing, it doesn't help you. But go ahead and apply, it can't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trav814020 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I haven't received anything about an interview yet, but I also haven't received an e-mail saying I was rejected. So i guess no news is good news at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie797 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'll be there on Nov 13th! Anyone else going to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmghanem Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 How long do they take to respond after your application is under review to determine if you have received an interview? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huyenvu Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I will be there Dec 6th. Good luck everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Good luck to everyone. I remember being in your shoes around this time last year. They are starting later this year, but they haven't told us the dates formally yet. Most of the class officers knew interviews were starting in November, but it hasn't been talked about publicly in the class yet. I am sure some of our class will be in to talk with you to say hi and good luck on the interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrg2266 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Any recommendations for the interviews or what to expect (question types, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I am sure that you have already heard this, but be yourself. There isn't an essay or "think fast" type of questioning that they will put you through. Be professional, look professional, act professional and you will have about half of the interview down. They haven't really told us what we can and can't tell everyone yet, so that is about all I recommend. Be ready for the basic questions that you will be asked about yourself and your motivation about becoming a PA, what a PA does, etc..... You will be amazed on how many people fumble when it comes to the basics. They just want to make sure that your motivation matches what you wrote and to see that the person on paper matches what they see in front of them. Do not stretch or rehearse your answers to make yourself look better. In short just be you and know a little about the profession you are wanting to enter. This isn't a test and there will be no swinging light above your head. I would be happy to share more after the powers that be say it is ok..... But honestly what I have already said is enough.

lumina Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I am not sure if interviews have already started this cycle but I was just wondering if anyone knew how many people they interview each date (i.e. Nov 5, Nov 13...etc). Just curious. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I can say Nov 5 will be the first set of interviews. I want to say when I interviewed last year it was anywhere between 10-12 people. I could be slightly wrong on that number, but it was a small group than what you would see at some of the other interviews. They like to keep the number down in order to have enough time to get to know you. Since they are starting late, I have no idea if they decided to raise the number this time.

LadyJ Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 trav814020, I'm in the same boat with you. I guess we just keep our fingers crossed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinatrang Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Be prepared for the common PA school interview questions and just stay relaxed. They just want to get to know you to make sure you're a good fit. Ask questions and know what type of program you want to be a part of. Also, before you leave, be sure to pick up an apartment finders catalog somewhere. That way, you'll have a good collection of all the available complexes in Midland so you can start looking once you get accepted! It's difficult to find housing out here so start looking/get on waiting lists as soon as possible. My roommates and I were on a waiting list from January-May before we knew we had a place to stay. Good luck with interviews, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
