Hello All,

Did anyone recieve an email after confirming the interview? I replied to the interview email but didnt hear anything back after that.

Thanks!!

No, I didn't get a reply back either. I think as long as we replied to the email to confirm then we are OK.

This waiting is killing me! I guess it makes sense to go in alphabetical order by last name? But also since there are interviews happening March 26th AND April 2nd, maybe they're notifying people for the first date first and then everyone else this week? Although someone already heard about an interview for April 2nd? I'm glad at least I know it will be this week, but I'll be a wreck until I hear something.

HI Andiland and Psych to Nurse,

I was wondering if you would mind sharing some of your stats, GPA, how many classes IP, health care experience and just a summary of your application. I still haven't heard anything yet and every day that passes slims the chances of getting an interview. I really hope and pray that I get an invite this week but I would really like to know how competitive the pool of applicants were for this term. If you can please get back to me, I will greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

I know what you mean about the competitiveness of these programs. I myself have applied to 3 Accelerated BSN programs, 3 Entry level MSN programs, and 5 ADN programs. So needless to say... I really want to be a nurse and I'm trying every avenue I can think of to get there. CUI is my first choice though. Anyways, you asked for stats so I don't mind sharing. My BA GPA is 3.4, my pre-req science GPA is 3.5, and I have 1 course in progress. I have approx 300 hours volunteering in 2 hospitals. Hope that helps!

My BA GPA was about a 3.2 and my science pre-req GPA was 3.75. I have no classes in progress, and I have about 100 hours of volunteer service in a hospital. I hope this info helps. Good luck to us all!

Does anyone know if they will be asking about volunteer experience during the interview? Or do they pretty much get that info from the personal statement? I'm really worried as I have VERY minimal volunteer experience. I'm starting to feel that it will hurt my chances of getting in.

Thanks so much for the info! Good luck to you on the interview!
