anyone who was accepted to Abington Dixon SON

Congratulations on coming this far!

I was accepted to Abington's early acceptance option last year. They send letters out around December / Early January. I had a 3.7 GPA, TEAS individual score of 95.3% and a small amount of volunteer work that I had done over the years. Microbiology & A&P II were the only classes I needed to complete.

I don't really know what criteria they use to decide, but it sounds like you have a good shot. Good luck to you!

Thanks so much for your reply. I hope I have a shot. I went to the open house and knew this school was perfect for me. Good Luck to you

I am sure you will be fine. Just use the ATI book for the TEAS test practice and enjoy your time before nursing school starts. Did you apply for the evening/weekend or day program. I haven't started the program yet, but if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them

I applied to both. I am flexible with my schedule. What did they ask you at your interview and did you need to write an essay at your interveiw?

The interview was comfortable. They asked me a few questions about why I wanted to be a nurse and why I wanted to go to Abington. Just dress business casual and try to be relaxed.

They ask to write a short essay before the interview starts. I wrote it in the empty lobby so I didn't feel pressured to write with a bunch of people staring at me!

Your scores appear to be good enough, but Abington is a tough school to get into. They told us they interviewed over 300 students for 66 spots in the E/W program. If Abington is your first choice, be sure to let them know WHY. Good luck and I hope to see you there next fall. :)
