Concordia University Irvine Accelerated BSN Fall 2012

Published

I am in the midst of getting my application ready. Hoping that I can wow the committee with my letter, as my GPA is not as competitive as I would like.

Anyone else planning on applying for Fall?

Hi everyone,

I also applied for the fall 2012 ABSN program, and I am reeaaalllyy keeping my fingers crossed! Did anyone apply anywhere else or just CUI? Im so eager to start the nursing program and dive into my career! And im pretty sure it's to soon to say buuut has anyone heard anything??

So far I have only applied to CUI. The only other option for me would be the EL-MSN program at Western or Cal State Fullerton. I have a house and two little kids so I can't be overly flexible with my options.

Haven't heard anything yet - but hoping and praying I get an interview!

If Concordia follows the same pattern as previous cohorts. You guys should be getting your invite to interview within the next week or so. We (summer 2012) got ours just about a month after the application deadline, give or take a day or so. Regardless, good luck, it's about to get exciting. Sorry if I increased your nervousness.

Looking back when I applied, got my invite and acceptance letter it went by relatively quick. Exciting times for you guys.

Do they send out an email that you are not invited for an interview as well? I am dying with anticipation here!

No. They do not send an email telling you did not get an interview. They will only email if you are invited for an interview. When people start posting ( to AN)that they received their invite, that is a good time to check your inbox.

Hey guys!

It is getting so close!!! I have a feeling (based on looking at things like CubanRob and what happened with our cohort) you guys will probably be hearing within the week. My guess is the invite email will go out before the holiday. Beesmama, I don't think they send out an actual rejection until the whole process is done, but I am not 100% sure on that. My impression was they sent out the invites and then if they had no-response (you have to confirm your attendance to the interview within a week or so) or a declination (cause someone got into another program, let's say) they they would fill that space with someone else that was "on the bubble." I think that is why they tell you that you will hear by mid-July about the interview... while they send the invites out earlier than that, there is some shifting and sorting that tends to happen between sending the initial invite and the interview dates. So, just cause you don't get an initial invite doesn't necessarily mean you are completely out. That is mostly speculation on my part from what I saw, so take it for what it is worth :)

GOOD LUCK, ALL!!! Just wait, once you get that interview invite, a whole different anxiety sets in :) Like CubanRob said, hopefully you will be able to look back at it like we do and feel like it all went by rather quickly.

JP808---Oh my goodness!!!! my heart sank when I read that message! HAHA yes hopefully soon we will hear something!Is it 80 interviews and only 40 accepted?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Yes, about 80 are interviewed and about 40 are accepted. Everyone I interviewed with was amazing. Each person had great stats and life experience. As soon as I walked in to check in for the interview, I knew as I scanned the room the "competition" would be tough. Don't worry though, everyone was gracious and kind. The staff interviewing us were great.
