Seattle Pacific University Interview for admission

[Seattletown1]

Hello everyone! I applied to SPU nursing program for Fall '14. I have been asked to come in for an interview on the 22nd with a few other applicants. Have any past SPU students gone through this process? What kind of questions do they ask? Suggestions on preparation? Also, we are going to be asked to write from a short prompt that is given to us. Any information on past ones? Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone else who is interviewing!

Hello mcewen.trio,

Thanks for the update; I didn't get a email stating this, do you think I should give SPU a call on Monday :S...? There were some technical difficulties for my application though, for an example I never got a email/letter inviting me to the interview, but when I called them about it they said I was considered for the interview. I hope we hear back soon, the wait is killing me as well...!

Hang in there everybody!!

Hello cw.sea,

I would definitely contact the school because if you didn't get the email, then you may not receive a letter at the end of next week. Especially since you had the mix up on the notification of the interview.

Here is the email:

Dear Nursing Applicant,

Thank you for your patience as you await the final decisions for admission to the Nursing Program at Seattle Pacific University. The care with which you prepared your application was very evident, and we enjoyed meeting you at the interview.

If at any time, you decide to withdraw your application to the Nursing Program at Seattle Pacific University, please be sure to contact the School of Health Sciences at 206-281-2233 or reply to this email. Students not chosen for admission may have been placed on our waitlist which continues through the summer. Students admitted to the SPU nursing program will be invited to an orientation in May. Again, thank you for your nursing application and participation in the interview process.

Our plan is to send out the nursing admission status letters on Friday, March 21st. If you have a change of address, please email Linda Meerdink, Undergraduate Administrative Assistant at [email protected] by noon 3/17/14.

Thanks for pasting the email, ugh that just scares me even more that I did not receive this email :/...I'm trying to be optimistic but I know SPU doesn't accept that many transfer students and me doing not so hot in the interview doesn't help much. But oh well, just want to hear back and trying to keep my head up. Again, good luck to you all, I'm sure you'll will be fine nurses !!!

I received the same email...one more week to go until we find out!!

@cw.sea, did you call the office? What did they say?

keep it up everyone!

[mcewen.trio]

Has anyone heard what an acceptance letter/envelope looks like??

[hopefuldream]

No, but from previous posts, acceptance letters come in big envelops since they contain info...hopefully I will see a big fat one in my mail box next week!

[mcewen.trio]

I received my letter today. I'm on the waitlist. Now... more waiting!

[cw.sea]

I received the same email...one more week to go until we find out!!

@cw.sea, did you call the office? What did they say?

keep it up everyone!

I called them and they told me that SPU is using a new software which had a few technical issues, but yeah they sent me the email!

I received my letter today. I'm on the waitlist. Now... more waiting!

Hopefully you get accepted and hang in there :)! I'm still waiting for my status, did that waitlist letter come in a regular sized envelope?

[mcewen.trio]

Yes it did. Although I am a little disappointed I am thankful to still have a chance. I wonder how many waitlist they accept. Ugh!

[hopefuldream]

Omg! If you are on the wait list then I have no chance! I am still waiting...I'm getting extremely nervous!!

[mcewen.trio]

Well maybe it's a good thing u didn't receive anything today. Acceptance letters were supposed to go out on Friday. Don't lose hope!

[cw.sea]

I'm on the same boat as you mcewen.trio, got waitlisted as number 2. I don't know, in a way I'm slightly surprised because I did really bad during the interview so I believe an acceptance letter would be slim. But still, back into the waiting game :S. Did you apply any where else mcewen.trio? I'm still waiting to hear back from Seattle University's program *crossing fingers:saint:.

Good luck hopefuldream, you got this :)!
