Thank you! I interviewed last Tuesday, 5/13. I applied for 6W (transplant) and 4E (oncology), invited for in-person next week for 6W only.

When you reapplied this cohort, did you use the same essays or cover letter from your last application?

My main points/focuses were all still the same but I rewrote and reworded it all. I didn't apply to the same units this time around so that part was entirely different from what I used before! In one of the Zooms though, they said they don't take anything into account or keep anything from prior applications if someone is re-applying, but I didn't want to risk it haha

For those who got an interview, did your application change? I just checked mine and it was updated today but I didn't get an email yet

Mine says last update today 5/19 and still says "under review" but no email. Not sure what it means, applied to PICU n ED.

Did your status get updated just today? or before your interview? Mine says it was last updated on the 7th (the day I received my email for the interview). IDK what to think anymore, im starting to get anxious. I'm wishing us all the best of luck!

Specializes in pediatrics.

My status updated today, and an extra RN Residency Slot appeared with a status update for today as well for the Heart Institute. Still haven't heard anything, though. Hoping tomorrow we will!

Does the team give you options for scheduling an in person interview or is it only one date/time set up by them?
