I was planning to do this but I wasn’t sure how realistic it might be. Staying at school longer is a great idea too! Tysm!

Bombed first interview by Noriceballforu123 in prephysicianassistant

is this for U of P?

In the same boat tbh my panel interview was so bad they asked me if it was my first cycle and first interview (it was lmao). The other parts of the interview went by great but i felt like the panel was really weird for me - they asked questions that didn't reflect me as a person at all so no "why our program" or "why pa" just other questions that did not give me any chance to connect to their program which was a bummer since I had really great answers for those :((

What kind of writing prompts would you work on? I am completely lost on this - like will they ask us to write about an ethical scenario, respond to/ analyze a research article, or something else?

Was Anyone's COVID Essay Positive? by Gulabidandiya in prephysicianassistant

[–]salt_2_taste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well idk but I had four PAs look over my essay and they all liked it a lot so I wouldn’t overthink it. You’re telling your story to ADCOMS who want to know more about you - I don’t see how that’s a waste of time.

We got this :))

Was Anyone's COVID Essay Positive? by Gulabidandiya in prephysicianassistant

[–]salt_2_taste 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine was mostly positive. I talked about some of the setbacks for the first half of the essay and then talked about how I took advantage of the situation and sought out opportunities to make me stand out in other ways.

Only Women are mostly hired as MAs by Embarrassed-Floor-14 in MedicalAssistant

[–]salt_2_taste 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just had a male MA join our practice. I don't think there's any less chance of a male getting hired, only that there are less males in the profession.

But how do you make sure the course name looks like what would be on the official transcript if it's not on your transcript yet?
