Has anyone heard back from them yet?

Hey I have an interview at UOP 2/25... They called mid December to set it up

 

[neb19]

Same as TravelbugPT. I got a call mid-December and have an interview for February 25th.

 

[BRooney]

I have an interview the first friday of March. If you guys need any information on there I am an undergrad there and my gf is a first year so if I can help at all or you have questions about where to stay when coming please let me know and I'll be glad to help. Where else are you guys/gals looking at going or have interviews etc...

 

[neb19]

I interviewed at Western and have one coming up at AT Still. I'm also waitlisted at St. Catherine. So it's pretty much between those 3 and UOP. Where else are you looking?

 

[BRooney]

I interviewed at Miami, but haven't heard back so i can only assume bad things by that. I have an interview on Saturday at Samuel Merritt, George washington on Feb 5th and UOP march 4th. I have a friend who is a first year at uop and he was debating between western and uop last year but wanted to get out of southern cali. Good luck with your upcoming interviews and hearing back I am sure you'll fine the place for you.

Neb19, I have an interview at Western this saturday. What was the process like? I'm still waiting to hear back from UOP as I applied pretty late in the cycle. They said my app is still in review.

 

[ptforme]

Those of you who got calls back from UOP, what were your stats if you don't mind me asking?

 

[neb19]

The Western interview starts with all the applicants in a lecture hall and you're told about the program, financial aid, etc and they ask for a writing sample. Then they bring everyone to a classroom to sit and wait to be called for their individual interviews. The interview itself is you and two faculty members. Everyone was really nice. But make sure you're there ahead of your "interview time" because mine was 12:15 and they started talking to us as a group at noon, and they didn't start the actual interviews til 1:00 (some people didn't get to do theirs til as late as 3:00 but didn't know til they arrived).

At the time that I applied to UOP...
Cumulative GPA: 3.38
Pre-req GPA: 3.17?
GRE: 450 verbal, 580 quant, 4.5 aw
Observation Hours: 15 pediatrics, 40 acute care, 111 outpatient orthopedics
Extracurriculars: In my 2nd year as a Kinesiology Club officer, 1 semester as the student assistant in the Human Anatomy Lab

My interview is Feb. 25th as well. I have applied all in Cali: UCSF/SFSU, Samuel Meritt, USC, and Loma Linda. I have been invited for interview at all but USC (who does not interview) and have been accepted to Loma Linda. My stats at the time of application were tadaaaa!

Undergrad GPA: 3.83
Prerequisite GPA: 3.58
GRE: 550V, 540Q, 4.5A
Extra Curricular: volunteer wrestling coach, adult volunteer at St. Luke's Youth Ministry, Athletic Training assistant, Relay For Life Participant (American Cancer Society), San Jose Fit Runners Club member

Thanks, neb19. That's really helpful. How were the interview questions themselves? Anything totally from left field or just typical interview questions?

 

[hra89]

I'm interviewing on the 25 too. Also I was told at an info session over summer (at UOP) that they supposedly interview everyone that meets the pre reqs (GRE, GPA, Letters, hours, etc), but here were my stats:

University:UCSB (2 years), UC Davis (currently attending)
Major: Exercise Biology, minor in Psychology
Overall GPA: 3.40 (3.24 UCSB, 3.65 UCD)
Pre-Req GPA: 3.3

Did UOP require official transcripts to be sent to the school in addition to the ones sent to PTCAS? I don't remember seeing this on the supplemental app.

 

[neb19]

No, I never had to send UOP anything extra besides the supplemental app. Western is the only one I had to directly send my transcripts to.

[ptforme]

What time is everyone's interview at on Friday?

 

[hra89]

1:30

 

[Irnbru]

Just had my interview today at 2:30. What did everyone think?

 

[dancingdoctor13]

Where did you all stay during your interview? What hotel is the closest and nicest? Did you fly into sacramento? How long was the drive from there? Did you rent a car or just take a shuttle? Also, what did you all think of the area and living circumstances of UOP?

 

[BRooney]

dancingdoctors13, if you need any advice on where to stay or where to fly into let me know I am an undergraduate here as well as interviewing next week.
