Same! See you guys there! 🙂

Yayy me too! Excited to meet some of you there. I heard it's a group/panel style interview, and that it depends on the group of interviewers if they want to ask all interviewees the same questions or give them each different questions. This uncertainty is a little frightening to me lol

There's also a tour worked in, but groups will do the interview and tour in different orders (so you might tour first, then interview OR interview first, then tour). I'll ask my coworker more questions next week when I see him!! He interviewed last year. I'm sure he'll get tired of me soon 😛

I interviewed last year and wrote about it here. I didn't get accepted or put on the waitlist, so I don't have much helpful advice for doing well haha

Has anyone heard any more info on times for the interview? I got my email on December 10th but haven't heard anything since.

I re-read the invitation email to see if they gave out any information on when we'd hear details. Unfortunately, I realized I never sent in my fall grades by Jan 5th so I have no idea if I will still be considered. I called a left a message so if I find out anything I'll let you guys know.

Yeah, all that the email had said was to give them 2-3 weeks of processing to finalize the interview schedule. But I'm unsure if that meant 2-3 weeks after that email was sent, or 2-3 weeks after the RSVP deadline of Jan 3rd.. I have a feeling they're not going to send specific time slots to individual interviewees until a week before interview day.

You should definitely email Ashley Hart about your Fall 2015 grades! I had a weird situation with my Fall 2015 grades, and she was able to work with me. She was very quick to respond via email. Good luck!

Thanks that gives me hope! I'll shoot her an e-mail right now to.

Go an email on Friday (Jan. 15th). Interviews are Saturday Jan. 30th starting at 9:30am. Looking forward to meeting other candidates.

 

[jnetPT]

I got a confirmation email too and I'm guessing I'm part of the second group because mine starts at 1:20 and goes until 4.

Hi jay2316! I do have one question, though I'm unable to send you a message. Is it all right I ask here?

do you know what kind of students tend to get admitted?

what are they looking for specifically.

do they like research oriented students more?

I'm having the same problem DMing you! But I would love any information you'd like to share. You can try to DM me if that works better

Now, I was going to ask this at the interview.. But I'm hoping you had some insight as to why Fresno State's 1st time pass rate is so low at ~75%, per the information presented on the program website. Even the ultimate pass rate and employment rate are both less than 95%. I've been hearing for years that the PT program at Fresno State was top of the line, so these stats seems so incongruent. I really want to give the program the benefit of the doubt, so any insight you might have would be very helpful!

Anyone looking into room sharing the night before interviews? Book a hotel and split the cost?
I will be flying in from Colorado from an interview at Regis and have spent more than enough on flights and hotels -__-
I have already booked this room ( http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/fatri-residence-inn-fresno/ )
E-mail me for info.

Good Luck everyone!
