Good luck! I will be sending in my application within the next two weeks! I am nervous also! I made a B in A&P1 and an A in A&P2 and am currently taking Micro. Hopefully we will get in! The thing I am nervous about most would be the interview. I have heard it is front of a panel of people. :/ Hopefully it will not be to intense though!

I am in MTSU's program. I am going to copy and paste a couple of my responses to questions that other posters have asked so that they will be all together:

I was accepted into MTSU's program and started in Spring 2012. My GPA was 3.3, HESI score of 86, and my interview score was a 4.0. I also got the optional 0.5 point for work experience (CNA or LPN qualifies). The interview score was a big boost to my overall score. I just want to let you know that it is do able even if your GPA is not the highest. Good luck everyone!! :-)

In response to interview questions:

I heard that not everyone who applies gets an interview. I think it's because all requirements were not met by the applicant. My interview was in October and I received my acceptance letter (sent certified mail) the 2nd week of November. When you go into the interview the 2 instructors only know your name and that you are applying to the program. The only other info they have on you is what you say in the interview. This allows them to give you a fair score without knowing your GPA, HESI score or healthcare background. Good luck!!!! :-)

Hopefulnurse45 this post has some great info for the interview process. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/interview-questions-88629.htmlI am going to put some random questions on notecards and practice with a friend so my answers don't end up sounding so rigid, like a speech. I'm sure focused ease and nanchalance would be more appealing than a practiced speech!

I am applying at MTSU for the Spring 2013 semester. If anyone else on here has previously been accepted to the program I would love to hear how your interview went, and what your scores were that got you in.

Any word for you yet???

How do you know what score you got for your interview? I had mine last week but I have no idea what my score was.

CrazyGoonRN · Oct 18, 2012

The only reason I know my score is because my first semester in the program I was meeting with my advisor and while she was flipping through my file she noticed it and told me. As far as I know no one else is told their interview score. Once in the program you could probably ask your advisor.

YAY!! I got an interview for next Friday!!

I had my interview last week and it went really well! My fingers are crossed and I am just hoping and praying they choose me! They told me I should know sometime around the first of November.
