WCU May 2012.... I'm going insane.

Hi everyone,

So I don't know if anyone else attended the informational session yesterday 09/22/11 on the Advanced 2 BSN program, but I am by far the most confused applicant ever!!!!

To those already in the program, they have changed the entire applicant process. We now have to take the TEAS test. But wait, there's more. On their website they have had a link to request the applicant when it becomes available. I filled mine out like months ago. Now, the way they are doing the application process is that they are going by that list to give out applications, and going on a first-come first serve basis. They are also accepting 55 students. Meanwhile, there were well-over 1100 requests for applications from that "list." The first "200" batch of applications were sent out to the first students who signed up from the list. SO basically, if those 55 students are qualified and admitted, the remaining 900 students don't even get a chance to apply for the program.

HOW UNFAIR IS THAT? There is nothing on the website stating that is how the application process would be. I have no idea where I am on the list. And, I have busted my hiney off all summer, retaking courses to get better grades just for this program. I have no idea what to do. And now, I am going to be in tears all Fall semester.

Anyone else have any thoughts of this???

I had an interview on Nov 16th and I am anxiously awaiting word on acceptance....

Hi Galway2003 - Congratulations on getting an interview! I will keep my fingers crossed for you :) I was just notified that they would like me to come in for an interview as well. Would you mind sharing with me any details regarding your interview in terms of the format, length and what type of questions they asked? Did they give any hints regarding how many people they have already accepted or when you could expect to hear back? Thank you!!!

Galway2003 and brez1208, congratulations on the interview. I hope you get positive responses! When did you send in your application?

I'm still waiting to hear back from them...no interview offer yet. My applicaton was sent mid ocober. I really hope to hear something soon as the wait is nerve racking. Those with interview offers....how was your TEAS scores? I made the mistake of taking the test a day after receiving the email from the nursing department about taking the teas at wcu. I scored 78%. Althought it was good eneough to get an application, I know I could do a lot better if I had planned for it. if they are offering interviews and acceptances based on teas scores.....then I'm out of luck. otherwise my science GPA is quite strong.

all the best to everyone. please post your updates/interviews/acceptances so we celebrate with you.

I applied in mid october and interviewed on the 17th. Interview was in a group setting. The usual questions.....very relax.ed for the most part

Group interviews? that is interesting...but given the number of possible applicats, I guess that is the only way around it. I hope people were not tripping over trying to 'outshine' their competitors :(

Did they by any chance mention when you should expect a decision by and if the class was just begining to fill or almost full?

brez1208 were you able to get interview information you were looking for? when is your interview? If you'd had the interview could you provide details?

I had my interview last week. They were very friendly and the questions were in line with what you would expect in any nursing school interview (why do you want to be a nurse, etc). The interview was in a group setting - initially I didn't know what to expect but all of the interviewees were very considerate and respectful of one another. They said the cohort is not full yet and that we should hear back by Dec 15th. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else!!!

Thanks for all the info.If the cohort is not full then I still have a chance.

Just got an invite to schedule an interview. can't wait to get that out of the way and hopefully a response soon. I really hope to get a decision before the holidays

congrats on your interview opportunity!

Congratulations on getting an interview! I heard back earlier this week (by email) and I was accepted!!! I received my formal acceptance letter in the mail yesterday! It seems as though they are letting people know soon after the interviews. I think this is especially true now because they want us to have time to register for NSG310 (Human Response to Disease) if we choose to take it in the spring before the program actually starts. Good luck to everyone else!!! Keep us posted!

Thank you all for congratulating me on the interview opportunity. I just went for the interview (one huddle down!). It was really relaxed just as you mentioned. Really hoping an acceptance letter follows shortly. For those still waiting for an interview, do not despair; the class is not full. They plan to suspend interviews as the university officially breaks for the winter session this week. They will resume in January.

CONGRATULATIONS to brez1208 :yeah:. I'm really happy for you on your acceptance. I think this is the first acceptance reported on this forum so far.

Looks like we are missing a few post on this thread. Did they get lost during allnurses site update?
