Program admissions information
FROM THE ADMISSIONS TEAM

2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair

Interview invitations are released periodically after the deadline rather than all at once, and the program said every applicant will hear something before the cycle's decisions wrap up — so early silence is not itself a signal. The admissions team asked applicants not to send unsolicited updates after applying; if you're invited to interview, share new experiences verbally with your interviewers instead. The program weighs academic readiness heavily, but its interview advice was simply to be genuine: faculty are asking whether they could picture you caring for them or someone they love. Clinically, it stressed a New York City network serving underserved populations, with every student completing rotation time in a shortage or medically underserved area.

Shared at the fair on Jul 11, 2026; paraphrased program-level notes. This is a past event, not an upcoming session. Confirm current guidance with the program.
