Concordia University Irvine ABSN Summer 2021

[redacted]

This will be the thread to discuss the application and interview process for CUI's ABSN program beginning Summer 2021.

Judging by the thread from last year, interview invitations go out in late February, with acceptances being announced at the end of March. There appears to have been a group interview as well as a timed essay component.

Looking forward to hearing from this year's Applicant pool!

@K.quino16 that’s good to hear! Yes ? I really hope we get in too ?.

How are you preparing for the interview by the way?

I am preparing by watching Youtube videos and writing my own experiences for possible interview questions!

Hi, I’m a sophomore in the CUI ABSN program RN. My advice is prepare for a long day, be yourself (the interviewers can read through you if you’re fake), and don’t compare yourself to others in your interview group. I was not any where near the most credentialed person in my interview group and I was the only one who got in from it. You’ll do great!

I went with the flow. They don’t Ask a lot of typical interview questions so I feel it’s tough to prepare for their questions. You’ve just got to stay mentally strong throughout it since it is 4-5hours if I remember correctly

I have an interview Friday AM and I'm definitely nervous! How many people do you remember being in your group? It's going to be tough not comparing myself to others and their responses but I know I have to focus on myself. Seems like an extremely long interview! Which is also nerve-racking!

For those interviewing on 3/19, has anyone received the Zoom link yet? The email said they will send it out "approximately 2 days before the interview". Also, good luck to all who is interviewing this week!! I hope we all get in!
