Hi, nurse-hopefuls! I've been following along on all of the threads from the previous semesters and thought it might be nice to start fresh for the new round. Applications are due in about a month and a half and I was wondering how people were feeling?
My baccalaureate GPA is a 2.9, but my pre-requisite GPA is a 3.73. I also know I have a really strong personal statement. I'm hoping that will make up for my undergrad gpa.
Is anyone else getting nervous? The last thing I'm waiting on are my letter of recommendations so I'm hoping those come in soon...
Haha! I definitely understand that! I was just wondering if they were offering interviews in Mon/Wed/Fri and any other weeks this month? I'm trying to do the numbers in my head of the number of interviewees.
I have been to three open houses but this is my first time applying and of course things get changed up. But typically, they get around 200 applications: less for spring start. Of those, almost half are incomplete or not up to par. They only seriously consider like 80 or so. They used to just grant interviews to those and then go from there. But it seems like this year, with the new wording, they are interviewing less. So I think the fact that we got interviews is a really good sign.
Also, from the other threads I've read, most people will hear back in a week. Check SIMS, because they will post "Institution-Admit" and you may not receive a call.
@anthroinscrubs, how did your interview go?? I'm dying to know!
Aw! I think it went really well! I'm crossing my fingers! :) I met with a faculty member and someone from admissions. They were both really wonderful. We talked too much and my interview went a little too long--but hey, that has to be a good thing, right?
All of the questions were really simple, standard interview questions. Nothing to stump you!
They also both agreed that if you can get through the first semester, you can do anything!
Good luck to everyone who is interviewing this week and beyond! Just breathe and you'll do great!
Yay! That's great :) Best of luck to you! Thanks for the advice as well. Hopefully we'll all be meeting soon in preparation for our first semester as nursing students!
When do you think they tell you if you're not accepted? My thing still says complete ready for review. I wonder if it's because I'm still doing some pre-reqs, including A&P II. So I would assume that people who have completed their pre-reqs get first dibs. I just want to know!
I'm in the same boat SKN19! I am still taking Human Growth and Development. I've been admitted to JHU and I turned in my CNL application well in advance of the deadline. I hope to hear back from UMSON soon so I can make my decision.
At my interview last week, I was told a decision would be made within the "next couple of weeks". I'm not sure if that goes for everyone or not. Either way, I hope we all hear something very soon!
I spoke with a lady in the office, and she said there was no time frame, so it all just depends on how fast people are going through applications, etc. Also, there are only like 5 people on this thread that applied, so I wonder how many people have applied for Spring admission. I wonder how many people had interviews last week.

I was offered Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning and afternoon. I chose Tuesday because I couldn't bear waiting!
