Hello Everyone......
Do you guys mind sharing your stats? GPA? Undergrad major?
I currently hold a 3.75 and two classes away from my degree in Biology.
Wish all of you best of luck on the interview, and hope you all get in.

Just did my interview today and I think it went well. It's so hard to tell with interviews! And I HATE waiting...

Anyways, don't be nervous (easier said than done, but really! Don't be nervous!). It is a pretty casual and un-intimidating experience. The staff is really nice and open to questions. I'm not sure about you, but I got pretty dressed up in a skirt suit and I was the only one wearing a skirt! I hope that kind of makes me stand out a little bit??? Who knows. Every little bit helps, right! I interviewed with one person in the faculty for 30 minutes (too short if you ask me). She asked me some pretty basic questions, tell me about yourself, why are you here, why do you want to do nursing, etc. All the questions that you have probably seen posted on this board.

Chicago 13, I'm not sure why you posted the stats thing on this particular board but here are some of mine to help you out:

BS in Psych
3.4 GPA (not stellar I know, but it'll do!)
1230 GRE
Also adding my work experience because I think it's just as important as academics!
almost 3 years of clinical research experience at Mayo Clinic, Rush and Northwestern, plus a few years of being a med secretary in surgery, internal med, and peds.
