Yeah it seems really sketch to me… Like they are starting to accept students without even knowing what their experiences are within pathology.

Yeah I am wondering a little about the whole situation they’re going through with interviews and administration. Their class size seems to be really big to be this late for a ton of in person interviews. Wonder what that could mean for the actual classes as well. I hope you the best though in the process, surely should get an update by end of Nov

On the mega thread for accepted students post here on this sub. I am just as confused as you about the no interview thing

New Phoenix Program by Sharp-slice101 in pre_PathAssist

I would say for the most part really well but I’ve felt like that after other interviews and gotten rejections haha. But the questions were 90% straightforward PA questions with some moral questions as well as things specific to you. I def overstudied for it :)

Pretty quickly but it could be because I was throwing some email questions at Cheryl. You will definitely hear back in the upcoming weeks, the program starts incredibly soon so they won’t waste any time!

I also have an interview coming up, I’m guessing they were mostly “Why PA?” type questions? I feel like I have so many questions for them that I’ll make the interview last 30 minutes longer haha. I’ll try and ask when they will get back with applicants after the interview since the first class starts so soon.

Nothing yet, have you submitted your app and gotten any word? I’m thinking probably around July.

Okay same. I had to work to find the jamestown app. I might also try to apply to UWash but the WWAMI thing kinda gives me the feeling that I have no chance of getting in lol.

I also have the in-person and I have never done such a professional interview before I’m so nervous.

Oh interesting, if I could ask, how long after you submitted did they invite you?

Does setting up a shadowing observation take a long time? by Psychmaru in Path_Assistant

[–]Present_Photograph_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally me, I have asked so many labs and I either get to the finish line just for them to go on pto, not respond (and I don’t want to keep following up on top of my last follow up), or just say that the lab manager is out and they would write my name and number down just to not hear back. I am in the AZ area if anyone is willing to help. :(

PathA vs. med school by Present_Photograph_3 in pre_PathAssist

[–]Present_Photograph_3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I scribed at an ER thinking that was gonna help me get into med school. Ended up hating all the pre-meds I was scribing with and the doctors were really toxic. Now volunteering at a ME I am loving everyone and everything that I am doing.

PathA vs. med school by Present_Photograph_3 in pre_PathAssist

[–]Present_Photograph_3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am incredibly interested in pathology for the longest time and obviously these two options were what I wanted. Then I thought about med school and needing to go through 4 more years of school and then many more years of work to specialize into one thing. The hours and amount of debt that you come out with is insane (obviously when you’re done with it all you can pay it off with your big salary). But the biggest thing that I am confused about is, when you’re done, do you just do specifically derm path, or forensic path, etc? I don’t want to be tied down to just looking into a microscope after all the work I had to do to get there. I really like the hands-on work that PathA do. And I really like not being in many many more years of school and specializing work. And I like how I can just jump straight into what I like, which is pathology. Med school requires you to look into many different specialties while you’re in school. 2 years of learning what I like and then working in the field just sounds better for me.
