Has anyone heard if you've gotten an interview yet? Starting to get anxious!!

My e-mail initially didn't give me any directions or room numbers so I e-mailed her back and it is going to be in the nursing building (845 South Damen) and then she gave me the floor number and room number. I'm sure you will be in the same building, but definitely call to make sure.

I finally heard back for WHNP and got an interview :) I thought it was odd that they called me instead of sending me an e-mail though...but either way I'm :D

I was considering on applying to the family health NP program... if you don't mind me asking, what was all of your experience/gre/gpa when applying to the program?

thanks and congrats to all of you!

Has anyone interviewed yet? How did it go?

I had my interview and it was awful because I was really nervous; I felt like I was rambling. I think I gave the impression I'd be a really bad nurse as I couldn't even handle an interview without turning red. Does anybody have a sense of how important the interviews are?

I was also told that we'd find out in 6 weeks, yet the website says notices will be sent between 4/20 and 4/30. Did anybody hear any thing corroborating either time frames?

Good luck to everybody.

CatManCatMan,

Which specialty did you apply to?

For PNP, I know that there were originally 46 applicants, and they offered interviews to 23. They are only accepting 4 students, so the interviews are crucial!

So sorry to hear it didn't go well! Mine wasn't all that great either. Not horrible, but not awesome. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I don't know anything about the time frame.

Hi MT56,

As everybody has been telling me, I'm sure you did better than you think.

I applied to adult/geri and I got an email saying they had 27 applicants for 7 to 8 spots, and they were doing interviews of 3 to 4 people between 9 and 12 (on monday), so that's 11 or 12 people interviewed for 7 to 8 spots... However, in the interview, a professor said that there were actually either 60 for 18 spots.

I hope you're not in agony waiting. Again, best of luck.

I applied to PNP and feel like my interview was awful too. Even though the interviewers were SO nice, I felt like I just couldn't get it together to come up with good answers because I was SO NERVOUS!!! My friends/family said the same thing, though, so hopefully they are right...hopefully we all did better than we think!?! Good luck to all :)

My interviewer for nurse-midwifery was very nice as well....

Does anyone else feel like they only said 10 percent of what they really wanted to tell the interviewer? I am glad to hear that this has been difficult for all of us :)

To CatMan: I was told that we would hear back in the beginning of May, so maybe this means about 4 weeks?

Good luck to anyone who has not interviewed yet!
