Not sure how to judge my interview tbh, but the faculty and current students were so lovely and welcoming. Makes me excited to think I could be a part of that type of community. They really try to make you feel comfortable which I appreciated so much. How was it for you?

Totally second this. I think toward the middle end of my interview I got nervous and started rambling a bit LOL. But I absolutely fell in love with the school. The students seemed to love it. The environment seemed supportive and close knit. It's one of the more expensive schools, but I'd spend that money in a heartbeat knowing I'm going to be supported and cheered on to succeed. 

I feel like I let my nerves got the better of me. Also, I definitely bombed that dosage calc test. Haven't done dose calculations since nursing school. I'm sure peds nurses dominated it though. But I agree, the students were so nice and it seems like a really supportive program.

Same, I was very nervous even with prep which I'm kicking myself about... but what's done is done. I'm confident they will pick a great cohort and I am happy I had a chance to meet everyone. Wishing everyone luck! 

Hopefully we hear back this week!!

Has anyone heard back ? 

Does anyone know the total cost of tuition? Looking online it says for the 2025-2026 year that tuition is $81,243 for the year...

Yes, you are correct. ^ the link, I would factor in inflation/tuition probably increases a bit each year.
