Concordia Irvine 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone out there is going to be applying to Concordia Irvine's fall program for 2017?

Unfortunately I missed the application deadline for the summer program but plan to apply in May for the fall start date. I'm pretty upset with myself for missing the last deadline but trying to focus on moving forward instead of ruminating on my failure.

I have all prerequisites completed for CUI's program save chemistry due to their 5-year statute of limitations. I am taking chemistry for nursing majors this semester, despite having two full years of chemistry (general and organic) from my BS with A's.

I was a little frustrated that I had to re-take the class because I completed all other science prerequisites in 2016 with a 4.0, but you have to do what you have to do right! Ultimately I understand why they have the requirement though. And I like chemistry anyway, it's just hard because it takes so much time away from being able to work and save money for next year where I will hopefully be in a program somewhere.

For those of you who might already be in a CUI ABSN program or have completed the ABSN program at CUI, I'd also like to hear from you about your experiences. I am not Lutheran but I did go to a Lutheran high school and actually know a number of people who went to college at CUI for other majors. Thanks!

Seems like they are interviewing a good amount of applicants. I wonder how they'll get through everyone on Friday? Since it's only 7:30-11:30 which includes the essay portion.

There's a PM group, too.

I received my email this morning for Thursday July 13th at 12:30!! :)

Yeah, I'm actually on Thursday 12:30-4:30pm. I'm both excited and nervous!

Hey guys! I also applied for the Fall of 2017 ABSN program and I received an email this morning that I was invited for an interview!! I was so excited but then I realized there was no date or time for the interview included in the email or the attachment. The attachment was directions to get to the park place campus. I called the office after I spent some time trying to figure it out on my own but they had already left for the weekend. Did this happen to anybody else? I'm very concerned!

So excited I found this! I also applied for the Fall 2017 program and got an interview on Thursday! I am so excited but definitely nervous. Does anyone know what the interview is going to be like? Can't wait to meet everyone!

Hey, everyone! I've also been invited for an interview on Friday the 14th at 12:30. Can't wait to meet everyone as well! :)

Hey guys! So turns out my interview time is on Thursday from 12:30-4:30! I'm so nervous, but mostly excited! Can't wait to meet everyone!!

It's a group interview with 3-5 people per group. It's very friendly and doesn't seem too stressful. I'll see everyone on Thursday! Mine is 1230 as well.

Hi all! I am scheduled for the Thursday AM interview as well! Excited to meet some of you!

It looks like they're interviewing 4 groups for the first time in the history of the program. Maybe this means they will double up on the amount of students they admit? Does anyone know if your N.ID# have anything to do with your current ranking? Also, how should we prepare for the writing prompt?

Really? Dang... That means more competition and it lowers the percentage of getting in :( I heard before they would interview around 80-90 and accept roughly half that. I did see in the summer thread they did admit 2 summer groups that started at different times. I wonder if they will be doing the same for the fall? Ugh...I'm so nervous now.

During the info session, the director said for the summer 2017 cohort 200ish applicants applied, 100 interviewed, and 60 accepted. If anything, the acceptance percentage is higher than before.
