Format: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) Where: On campus
About 140 applicants are invited each cycle, from late August through December, for a two-day visit. Day one is orientation — faculty introductions, financial aid, a curriculum session led by current students, a campus tour and an informal dinner. Day two is the interview itself: three separate one-on-one interviews of 15–20 minutes each with PA faculty, plus a 15-minute small-group activity in which applicants discuss a topic or scenario while a faculty member observes without speaking.
