PROSPECTIVE STUDENT INTERVIEW INFORMATION
Published by UCPAP Faculty and Staff,
If you have been asked to come in for an admissions interview you are one step closer to being accepted into our University of Charleston Physician Assistant Program (UCPAP). The interview is the final evaluation stage in the application process. Remember that the purpose of the interview is to get to know you beyond your CASPA application. This is your chance to distinguish yourself from the other applicants and show what makes you a better candidate. In other words, it is your chance to show why you should be accepted. We believe that your interview also gives you the opportunity to explore our campus and facilities, meet faculty members, ask questions, and experience what makes our UCPAP special.
