Georgetown Accelerated BSN Program Fall 09 Interviews?

I also got an interview. Can anyone who already had their interview share some information? Is it a group interview? Types of questions?

Thanks

I am having a minor freak out.

I'm going to the interviews on Tuesday. Every email that I've received says the interviews are for the accelerated BSN program. I applied to the direct-entry program.

Does anyone know if they are interview for both programs that day? I am hoping they did not make a mistake with my application.

Hello Everyone!

I am also attending the interview/information session on Tuesday, April 7th and was curious if anyone who attended the earlier sessions had received acceptance letters?

Hi everyone,

How did your interviews go? Did Laura Adams or anybody give a day when they said they'd release decisions? I was told "around Easter", which I'm hoping means by the end of this week.

Hi Koala! OMG, so they went fine (no surprises really), but our group was HUGE (40+), so it was kind of scary knowing that most of us probably would not be getting into the program. Everyone was really nice (applicants and Georgetown staff included), so at least that helped make the day enjoyable even though it was long. As always, I found myself trying not to worry about what I said, if I said the right thing, or forget to say something! Laura did tell us we would be notified by email on the 13th, and the scholars program on the 22nd - SO, not too many more days of anxious waiting! She said there were 300+ applicants, 120 got invited back to interviews (so I guess a third were in my group yesterday), and they would accept about 64 and give 42 scholarships. Hope that helps, and good luck!

Right - Laura said to expect emails by the end of the business day on April 13th. Honestly, I have to say it was such a wonderful experience getting to know the other applicants as well as touring WHC/Georgetown. It was very organized and informative - and overall I am VERY impressed with this program! Interviews weren't bad at all - but I don't want to get my hopes up considering EVERYONE thought the interviews went well :P. I have to say though - I am a bit discouraged knowing that the majority of the spots for the program are reserved for people applying to the WHC scholarship. I was the only non-citizen in the group - so that narrows my chances drastically since I'm not eligible to apply for the scholarship. But overall, this was such a wonderful experience..I am VERY impressed and very grateful to have this opportunity to interview. It was also a pleasure meeting everyone in my group good luck to everyone on MONDAY!

sasagrrrl...I wasn't under the impression that applying to the WHC scholarship had any bearing on our acceptance to the program...did I miss something? I thought she was saying that is why they extended the deadline, and why the notification dates were also separate. While I am definitely planning on applying, I haven't done so yet since I figured I got a few more days to tweak it, since we have until the 15th (and we get our notification on the 13th). Did anyone else here that (and am I totally off-base)?

P.S. - great meeting all of you too - good luck to those I met and those I didn't!

MWK-

I agree. Laura did say the WHC scholarship has no bearing on the admission decision.

Actually, you are right - thank you for clarifying. I just remember slightly freaking out when she mentioned that 45 people would be admitted into the scholarship program and expressing this concern to Michelle - who asked if I had any back-up schools (HA!)
