Yes thank you for letting us know! Do you feel like anything in particular helped you to stand out from others interviewed?

During the interview, Sean told me this year and last year have both been very competitive and if one receives an interview, that alone is HUGE. ?? I wish I hadn’t asked the acceptance rate because now that is all I fixate on in relation to the program!

Personally, I believe either my strong health experience background helped A TON, and or my personal statement.

What... I didn't know it was that competitive...that's scary. Does anyone know how many people applied?

My apologies, I did not mean to reply with the first message in this thread

Hi all! I applied for the pediatric specialty. Fingers crossed--it would be such an honor to be accepted to this program!

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone have any info on the Simmons direct entry MSN program?  I have been wondering how covid has affected the application amount or acceptance amount.

I also had an interview for the FNP program. They only accept 8 people??

Would you be able to share what sort of things they asked during the interview?

Had an interview for PMHNP yesterday. Basically it was only "Why nursing?", "Why BC?", and "Where do you see yourself working as a NP?".

You got asked questions like that?? I had all that prepared and wasn't really asked much, it was super brief. I expected it to be longer. The person was very nice, but it made me nervous on if I actually did well or not

I also got asked those similar questions. Like why nursing, why Boston, where do you see yourself working after school

Most of the time was spent with me asking questions

Hi all! I hope you're well. ?  I haven't heard anything re: my application (direct entry DNP) since I submitted it in early November. When did you all hear re: interviews? Thanks much.
