snipes..I received an interview invite for the June session last year, but had to postpone it to their July session. I would think they would look at all the apps they received by the deadline, rank them, interview their top choices, and then go on from there. They interview until the class is full, so it just depends on when that is..could be as late as Oct, maybe even later. I am not sure how late they were interviewing for my class. They would not be calling people now for interviews that late though, they just call about 20 people or so for the next month, then after that interview and they have the date set for the next they invite the next batch.
gatornurse, PM me if you have questions about the program, we are super busy this semester so can't guarantee an answer right away

I completed my application in April and shortly after was offered an interview for June 17. Will anyone else be at that interview session??
Does anyone know how many students are chosen for each region? (I chose Tampa as my first pick). And any tips on the type of interview questions they ask would be greatly appreciated!
Orlando and Hollywood take 20 to 30. Tampa and West Palm take less, about 6 people. Ocala takes about 3. At least that is what they did for my class but those are about the sizes every year
Does everyone have an equal chance of getting in? By that I mean, I chose Tampa as the clinical region I want, but since they choose less people for that site, do I have a less of a chance of getting accepted? Or do they pick a whole number and disperse everyone to their top picks?

Just got a call today for interview in July! anyone else? so excited! =)
It does not Matter where you pick for clinical site. You just might not get your top clinical site choice if accepted and ppl who interviewed before you and were accepted chose there first.
ufblondi...in a previous thread you indicated that Barry wanted you to take the CCRN...is that common? why did they ask?
Some high percentage of ppl in my class (like 80%) had ccrn. I only had one year icu experience though i know they asked ppl with more experience to take it too. You can be accepted under the contingency that you pass the exam. They have some ppl retake the gre until they get a certain score on the section. For example, my friend was accepted with contingency that she improved her verbal score.. had to take the gre 3 times to get the verbal score they wanted
ufblondi...do you happen to know what score they wanted? I am only asking because I have a feeling that that's going to happen to me =( my gre scores weren't too hot!
No i don't remember. I wouldn't worry about it unless they bring it up in your interview or acceptance letter. They wouldn't invite you to interview if it was too low
