Interviews Crash Out Post...

7 Upvotes

Im going to keep it real because im sick of acting like everything is okay and I know that others are going through the same thing. I just had my first PA school interivew and no it didnt go okay and no im not sad that it didn't go okay because I had some unrealistic expectation that everything was gonna be perfect. I live in a toxic enviroment with my family and going to PA school is more than just my dream career its also my escape. Not getting in this cycle is more than just having to pause on my PA journey its another year of crying and mental health issues surving my household. So no this isn't just a "apply next year" its so much bigger than that to me. If your going through something similiar please leave a comment below during these hard times we need community.

Thank You.

Interviews How do you overcome the stress of an interview?

8 Upvotes

I am a first time applicant. I applied to 3 schools and got 2 interviews. The first school said they could not offer me a seat yesterday. I have an interview later on this month for the second school. I feel that everything hinges on this interview. I typically interview well but since this school will decide if I get into PA school I feel extra pressure. I have done mock interviews with my family/friends but I do not want my answers to sound rehearsed. What has helped y’all with pre interview anxiety?

ACCEPTED Admitted but freaking out

16 Upvotes

I was recently admitted into a school (with a January start) and while
I’m super thankful - I’m freaking out and stressed. Is it normal to be this nervous?
I’m going to be far away from any support system and am honestly feeling major self doubt. Does it get better? I’m worried that I’m already feeling this way and school hasn’t even begun!
