so it's true. some has already been notified for an interview. how many of your friends has been called? it's frustrating, but at the same time, i'm happy for the others who had been chosen. i've also been at awe with your qualifications, acosmo. and you're correct. although many of us have remarkable qualifications, like already passing nclex with ACLS certificates maybe even PALS, maybe they just have this system that they follow. even i, has been a deans lister when i was on my first year and i even put that in.
and i hope this would be alright to say, but the above poster has applied for the earlier 09 grad program and she must've have already been on the waiting list. it is only correct that they prioritize them since they had their turn of wait in line. but i hope there's still hope to the rest of us without calls.
goodluck to all of us!

I know there is tough competition out there as far as applicants go, even if I think my app is good, I know there are PLENTY more out there that have far more qualifications..
