Hi. I can't be your application buddy, but I did graduate BI in '05 so if you have any questions let me know.

Good luck

Thanks so much for responding, i do have a few questions

Do you know if they have a waiting list?

Also, do you know or remember if they wait until after the application deadline (april 1st) to begin interviews? I applied since october last year and my portfolio was completed about 2 weeks now and i haven't heard anything yet, im getting worried (and a little paranoid)

I got a call pretty soon after my NLN results came in to schedule an interview. I don't remember exactly when it was, but probably March or April (I think our deadline was May though). I was like you and applied super early, but that just gives you more anxiety cause you feel like you're waiting forever. I'm not really sure about the waiting list. I wouldn't get too worried yet. If you don't hear by April 1, give them a call and ask the status of your application and if they've begun interviewing. Hope that helps.

hi , i want to know whether is difficult to get into Phillips Beth Israel School of nursing?? what is the GPA that lead you to the program?? thanks

shippoRN · Mar 2, 2008

i honestly don't know what my final GPA was that they accepted since i had so many different credits coming from different schools, it was a little over 3.0 i think. They don't just focus on GPA. They look at your NLN score which I personally think they put alot of weight on, they also look at letters of recommendation and personal statement. They also focus on the pre-reqs you took which isn't required but if you want to lessen your work load or be eligible for their other scheduling options then yes you need to have pre-reqs done.

I hope i answered your question

Bayley · Apr 15, 2008

I know.....it's the like the closer it gets, the harder it is for me to think about anything else. Have they called you for an interview or anything yet?

Good Luck!!!
