Thanks for all the kind encouraging comments y’all! I can’t overstate how helpful this mock interview with Sarah was for PA school interviews. I even used some of the tips she gave as I interviewed for PA jobs, and know they helped me get a job I can’t wait to start😄 good luck on your interviews, you’ve got this!

Hi Tolu, I’m interviewing at UTMB Sept 8! Any advice?

Man , she’s the best. She should run for president. So well spoken.

Peace be to you! What an OUTSTANDING young lady! It'll be an honor to have her as a fellow PA!😃

She does have a calming voice, which reflects in her calm demeanor during a crisis or a code. I like the smile in her eyes, too. She seems very personable, and would make a fantastic clinician.

Such a pure hearted woman

How do y’all have interviews without shaking tremendously? Asking for myself 😭😭😭😭

I honestly want to see a candidate that had a hard time and received more constructive criticism during the interview. Don't get me wrong, this video was great, however, I am nowhere nearly polished as this individual and it would be nice to have someone I can relate to.

Thanks for sharing this interview. It's great inspiration.

This was amazing. I'm going into my third year of undergrad preparing for moments like this and this was very inspiring.

That's an amazing interviewee! I aspire to be able to speak so fluidly and with such confidence in my own interviews!

Wow her responses were like poetry. Super helpful video, I’m going to have to go back to my drafts and apply those stellar tips!

Well I'll be damned. Super confident and amazing answers. I'm still an undergraduate, but definitely need to work on myself and my answers for the future.

Thanks. I agree. We have recorded several hundred interviews and I have to say this is certainly one of the very best.

Wowwww this was an amazing interview. It helped a lot . Now i have pointers to start preparing.

Man my vocabulary is very low so this was intimidating. I am a Black Hispanic female and I think the low vocabulary has to do with the Hispanic side of me because my first language was Spanish until I finally learned English and now put Spanish second. I am not going to let the fear of big vocabulary words frighten me from becoming a PA because my medical terminology vocabulary are actually stronger than regular English vocabulary. But great job!

My advice to you is read a lot of books! In different genres like stuff you enjoy reading and stuff that you don’t . Practice writing the words you didn’t understand reading and know the definition and enunciation. If you improve your reading and writing skills you will improve your vocabulary. Lastly, I recommend practicing taking the GRE (basic reading, writing and math test) and take it when your ready . Also don’t be afraid to use big words that you are confident saying and knowing. It’s okay to make mistakes and be authentic while doing it! They have seen so many people with different backgrounds and experiences don’t let other people intimidate you about the PA interview. Be the best person you can be !

Thank you for this the PA Life and Tolu! I was able to get her personality, passion for becoming a PA, and genuinity all from this video. She is a true role model and she gave me the inspiration I need for all my future interviews! :)

I really love this! I am a pre nursing student but becoming a PA is the further learning I want to take. I feel like this will help me quite a bit when it comes for interviews for that first interview to a hospital. Definitely will be taking some of these strong points and incorporating them for myself into future interviews for the healthcare field.

Can I say my biggest weakness was hesitation to interact with english people when i arrived into this country as english is not my first language and i could not understand their accent. With i have improved and now I can communicate effectively with anyone.

She killed that!

Is this a mock interview? It seems like she provides feedback after every answer. I will like to be as articulate as she is.

Thank you I study pa online school medical

I love this interview

Damn unexpected questions it feels kinda like a job interview tbh

Did she get these questions ahead of time?

Wow!! Can I work alongside her as a PA?

I am worried, there is nothing I can do for my GPA. I already graduated with a BS in Biology. I want to go to PA school but my GPA will not let me even be considered for continuing with the process. I've been rejected by several schools. I'm trying to get a good score on my GRE in hopes of making the cut. Other than that I don't know what else to do. I am working in the medical field and getting my hands-on patient care and knowledge. I just don't know what else to do.

There are post-bacc programs that allow you to take science courses in which you can do well in. You could also get a master’s and get good grades in those to show that you’re determined about PA and can handle the rigorous course load.

You could retake the courses. You could take a post-bacc pre med pathway for 2 years. You could work as an ER tech or paramedic or EMT. You could do an accelerated nursing program and work as a nurse for a couple of years first. Life is long.... i'm 31 and just now thinking of applying to PA school myself. I was also thinking of applying at age 24, but... i realize now I wouldnt be as prepared if I took it then. There was such a mad rush. A mad frsntic rush to "grow up and have a career". I didnt become a nurse until i was 28. So... there's time. And then you work and see patients at the age of 20 seeking detox or whatever... or patients age 45 in a deep depression. Life. Is. Long. Be patient. Be persistent. Remain hopefull.

@@johnguillen68 in my accelerated second bachelors there was a student who went in at 50. She now works cardiac ICU. Amazing. Amazing person. And you will be too! You can do it. You may have to work harder in some areas- but I'm sure you'll absolutely crush the clinical. Keep at it. Just keep at it. It's a journey. Focus on the journey. Maybe that's RN to NP. Or RN to FNP to FNP-ED specialization.(if that's what you would like). Julia Child started her cooking show at 50. I know of someone who is in her late 50's and applying to PA school.
