Pace ABSN program starting 2013

[ARickli]

I know it's early, but is anyone else looking at Pace's ABSN program to start in 2013? I'm 90% finished with my prerequisites and just getting the pieces together to start the application process!

Hey sunnyc and Kashie was wondering if you guys had interviews today or not an if so how was it.

[Kashe]

Had it today I thought it went well.

Does anybody know how many round of interviews the've had so far? Do they accept/ reject people after each round? or they are waiting for all the rounds to be done so they can make a final decision. can't wait for this whole process to be over...

@mairyahans- from what I understand, after yesterday there has been a total of 2 interview sessions. The other one was in march and that was the one I was selected for and they said that a another interview session would be conducted in april and after that they will start making admission decisions. They said that we should start hearing back in mid-april.

@brooklyn2012- when I did the interview in March, they said that the interview is now a mandatory process for applicants to basically "put a face" on their application. But don't lose hope!

It doesn't seem like they interviewed that many people if it was only two rounds of interviews. Unless they had more throughout the day.

@kashe, they did interview many people in one day and it was group interviews, usually 3-5 people at a time.

So in my group there were about 16 people getting interviewed in groups at the same time. Besides the 10 am interview there were 4 other times, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm with the same amount of people each. If we do the math, on march 18th there were about 75 people interviewing and on April 8th probably another 75 more. There are only 64 spots for this years program...it's going to be tough....

I agree with you. They probably interviewed about 150 people so I imagine they hve to weed out more than 50% those applicants.
