Anyone in the January 2010 DSN cohort?

Hi everyone! I just thought I'd repost something to see if there's any new people from the January cohort on here! And to see how everyone else is doing.

Are you guys all done with the stuff we have to get done by 12/1? I'm almost there, just need the CPR class! I can't believe we're less than two months away now, yippee!!!

Yeah, you call on January 4th for the July cohort...I was in the first wave of them doing this and I will warn you that you feel like you're calling a radio station, you just keep getting a busy signal. But eventually I got thru and everything worked out, so don't stress too much!

Who are you emailing that isn't getting back to you?

You should email Kelly or Jeff directly, they are the admissions people. This way when you call on 1/4, you will have a contact and you can call their direct numbers.

When I called it honestly took me over 2 hours to get thru, maybe almost 3, I can't remember exactly...basically be patient! Once you get thru they will schedule an interview date. They will schedule the HESI exam and you can't get into cohort until the tests are done.

Try not to stress too much! I know that's easier said than done, I was so stressed about it. Maybe if you have a friend with you calling in for you too, then you'd have double the chances of getting thru! ;-)

I start in January, the same day you call in actually! ;-)

I don't know how they divvy them up, just call the main number and see if one of them is available and then they'll assign you to them. That's what I did...I just had some questions and Kelly was available so when I called in they asked if I had spoken to someone before so they gave me her direct dial to call on the 4th.
