Anything you found surprising about interviews? In my experience they were a lot more laid back than I had anticipated. By my last interview I felt more confident going into it about just being myself and being honest.
Were there any helpful resources (books, websites, apps, etc…) that you used to get through prerequisite courses, the application or the interview process? The PA Platform
Any other advice for Pre-PA students? Be yourself in interviews and utilize your resources for advice and help with the application process. Practice interviewing!
