army sn · Mar 11, 2011

hi, i'm interested in this program. Do you know what the average GPA is for those that are accepted?

Im not sure for the graduate program. I know I had a 3.4 overall nursing gpa. During the interview, they told me they are interviewing 60 people, and accepting only 30. They had over a 150 to apply. Hope to hear some good news in a couple weeks.

hi, how did your interview go? What kind of questions did they ask? just curious

Im hoping it went well. My interview actually lasted longer than expected because it was the end of the day on a friday. Almost about 45 minutes, or so. We also went off topic, laughing and joking...with the 2 interviewers...

Questions: (from what I could remember)

- Why do you want to become a Nurse Practitioner?

-Why did you choose our school for graduate study, when you graduated undergrad from???

-What are your plans after graduation?

-Tell me about your previous experience???...

...I asked other questions, which extended the interview to different topics.

- They were really friendly, and I hope it went well. They are only accepting half of the students that they are interviewing...

- I have a 2nd interview coming up for Georgia State, which is a 2 hour group interview.

I have an interview for NGCSU coming up and don't know what to expect. We also have to write an essay on an article that will be presented to us!!! I am scared to pieces. I am not good at writing especially when I don't have a chance to look up information and rewrite my thought.

I will not hear naything back from Georgia State until the end of April, and I waiting to hear back from Georgia Southern, they are reviewing the applications now and will be contacting after the 1st of April.
