Has anyone been contacted about interviews for ATSU? If so when did you submit your secondary application?
How did your interview go? Do you mind sharing what questions they asked?My secondary app was done on August 23rd, was contacted for an interview on September 16th and interviewed on October 4th. No decision yet.

I did in person because I don’t trust my computer lol but I’m an AZ resident so it was only a 45 min drive to campus. All questions were situational based and the interviewer made it very conversational. If traveling isn’t ideal take the online interview. Or else I’d suggest in person so you can tour the campus as well.bmxpt2, I was wondering if you opted for the in person or online interview?
I opted for the online interview but I'm not sure what to expect.

Does anyone know how the online Q&A session works? I have mine tomorrow morning.
Yes to follow up with this post, I had my QandA today. It was very casual and I even got to know some of the other candidates interviewing as well which was comforting. I got a lot of insight about the school and am really excited for my interview next Thursday!This may be too late, but it was a really casual Q&A on Zoom and the student I talked to said that she had no input on the admissions review and had no prior information about me. Was nice to talk to a student there since I won't be able to visit!
DAMMMNN no way. I did not get an email yet about that but I have my interview next week too...I know they do go through the waitlist quite a bit but I thought I got an interview early enough that I would be good. I would have booked my interview earlier if I would have known in October it would be full. I expected December...I am with you on this one. Let me know how your interview goes. Good luckHi, did anyone else just receive the email about how the July 2020 seats are full?
Erlinda said "We encourage you to keep your interview date/time because we utilize the wait list each year" but it's still a little disheartening. I kind of wish I applied a little earlier. My interview is on 10/30. Is there hope and I wonder how deep they utilize the waitlist? haha

I interviewed October 4 and haven’t heard a thing. Sounds like I’m getting waitlisted again. She gave me the same speech last year and I never got pulled off. Good thing I have an acceptance somewhere else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Hi, did anyone else just receive the email about how the July 2020 seats are full?

Nova Southeastern in FloridaDang, that's too bad about last year.
Congrats on the acceptance this time around though! At least you're in now, awesome. Where to, if you don't mind me asking?
When did you get the news you were waitlisted last time? I still haven't received notice that the class is full yet...but probably will come later today.I interviewed October 4 and haven’t heard a thing. Sounds like I’m getting waitlisted again.

Mid-December, but I was late applying last year, struggled with the writing part of the gre. I interviewed at the end of November last year and was told in the interview invite that it was for consideration for the waitlist.When did you get the news you were waitlisted last time? I still haven't received notice that the class is full yet...but probably will come later today.

Dang! I am assuming that is why I haven't gotten an email about an interview. What a bummer that they are already filled. I wonder if a lot of people applied for early decision?Hi, did anyone else just receive the email about how the July 2020 seats are full?

Hey All!
Just found this thread and figured I'd make an account to share my experience! I submitted my application back in August, had an interview (online via Zoom) in September and was accepted in late September.
The online interview was pretty casual. For me, it was a lot of situations such as "respond to a time you faced adversity." They center a lot of their questions around why you want to be a PT and why you feel diversity and service is important. It should take around 20-40 minutes depending on how many questions you'd like to ask at the end! As long as you are yourself, I'm sure you will be fine! I loved my faculty member I interviewed with.
Also, I had a friend who was accepted last cycle who applied in December for the waitlist and was pulled and accepted from it around Feb/March. I wouldn't be put off by the waitlist as I am sure it's utilized.
Thank you both for your help! My interview is on Friday, and I think the advice you both have given is great! I too will post after my interview so it can benefit any other students applying!Thanks for this; it made me feel less nervous going into my interview for the waitlist (and the chances of getting pulled off of it).
To add on, my faculty online interview was very conversational. A lot of questions similar as well as dealing with conflict too. The faculty member asked me about my background/one of my essays as well.
What did they ask that was related to the essays?Thanks for this; it made me feel less nervous going into my interview for the waitlist (and the chances of getting pulled off of it).

I just finished my interview today! I was asked questions about my communication, writing, and listening skills. I was asked scenario questions about group work, diversity, and adversity. That pretty much summed up my experience. It felt very informal. My faculty member was very kind and seemed like she liked my answers to her questions. I really hope that is true and I hear back good news.
For some reason now my anxiety is even greater about being accepted. I thought it would go down after the interview, but instead, now I am so nervous to hear back from them. Especially since everyone is talking about this email they received about the waitlist. I have never gotten it and it makes me very confused...Well please send positive vibes my way, I would love to able to post my first acceptance with you all.
Yes she said within two weeks I would hear back about a decision! I really hope it is sooner rather than later, but then again I have been all rattled because of this whole waitlist thing. I don't know, but I guess everything happens for a reason.I relate! The time post-interview and pre-decision was super anxiety inducing! Did they give you a timetable for decisions? For me, they said 1.5-2 weeks and it did happen more towards that 2 week side of the timetable. So don't sweat if it's close to the decision date and you didn't hear back!
Had my interview today and Erlinda explained the waitlist situation and how we get ranked! But like you send she didn’t send out emails to October interviews. Campus was beautiful and everyone is very kind and helpful. I love was asked about situations I’ve been I as well. Situations like stressful ones, where there has been miscommunication, customer service, and how I would deal with those situations. The set up was not nerve wracking because they make you feel very comfortable!Yes she said within two weeks I would hear back about a decision!

PSA: I just talked to Erlinda, and if you had an interview in October she did not send you the waitlist email, but it is true for all candidates that have not yet heard a decision back. So we're all going for waitlist spots at the moment. If anyone gets accepted PLEASE post it, it would be amazing to know how fast the list is moving...
Had my interview today also but opted to change for the video conference. I was told everyone gets asked the same questions to be fair so that's comforting!
