Hi all - I've been reviewing the boards here for a while and thank you all for your detailed responses and information left. This board is awesome and has really helped me calm my nerves with respect to the admissions process at Beth Israel in NYC.
My apologies if a thread of this nature already exists - (i couldn't find one) -- Just wondering if any 2012 applicants are out there?? I am applying to the evening session beginning in January 2012.
I've submitted my completed package and scored an 89th percentile AD on the NLN PAX. I took the computerized version and was able to get my scores back immediately. The anticipation would have killed me otherwise.
Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting a call or email from PBISON regarding the next step in the admission process which is the in-person interview. Fingers, Toes, and eyes are crossed!
Is anyone else out there applying for admission to the 2011/2012 entering class? Anyone further ahead in the process, perhaps you've had your interview already? I'm wondering how long to wait from the time I submitted my scores to the time of following up w/ the admissions board... I'm thinking 2 weeks is fair.?
Any comments welcome. Thanks in advance - and good luck!
I have 130 and 3.0 and all of the possible prereqs.....I really hope they will get back to me soon!!!!! congrats on your success!!! aspiring_nursing Do you think I have a chance???
I applied for the 2012 evening program and just got a phone call this morning for an interview next week. Excited but very nervous at the same time! Any tips on how I should prepare for the interview? Any help is much appreciated. Good luck to all of us!:)
Congrats MG, I just got an email letting me know I also have an interview next week, too! I'm so excited :) I think people posted earlier in this thread what kinds of questions they ask and what the interview experience was like. Seemed like it was a positive experience and low-key.
ok this question is important and thank you for always helping me out. I am signing up for the courses at either fingerlakes or any other but i see that i must have had a certificate of residence on fil e with them 60 days prior to start of classes in order to get resident tuition. Did you take any courses prior? did you have to prove residency like this? what did you pay? I am so upset! I dont want to pay double for the class.
Good luck to all, especially to our original poster, NikkiJo. Thanks for starting this thread. It's nice to see how much it's grown since the early days.
I completed my FAFSA and HESC a few days ago and am now waiting to see how much financial aid I'll get.
Last but not least, the majority of interviews are done in the months of April and May so hang in there!
Sulo, are you looking for Fin Aid or loans? I don't think I will be eligible for FA - and I hope the money gods are kind to me cause this is all happening via loan process. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Congrats to you! I knew you would get the call, just a matter of time is all.
I got the Pell Grant and I think a bunch of loans from the FAFSA but was not eligible for the HESC. I'll take whatever I can get. Oh, and I'm still waiting for the financial aid package from the school.
We definitely have to meet when school starts and exchange high fives!!!

the interview went really great. all of the questions previously mentioned in this post and others of the same nature were asked... they are actually on a pre-fab form that the interviewer goes over in order to assess you. My interviewer was amazing. Very nice woman - really approachable and helped me calm down and just be myself. And, that's exactly what I did.. I was me, and I think it proved very successful. I am yet to get the official 'you're in', but i walked out of there feeling extremely confident. I was told that with in a couple of weeks I should send a follow up if I don't hear back from the school first. Of course, I have that date marked on my calendar with bells and whistles! :)
And so, now I wait on what I think is on its way.. (Can you tell I don't wanna jinx this? )
We have to meet for sure to exchange high-fives! I'll be in the evening program but I'm sure our paths may cross during orientations or uniform fittings etc. Awwww man, I'm so happy! :)
