Hi! Is anyone else applying for the Accelerated Prog. for Fall 2011?

Wow that seems tough, only 32. And only the scores. 

Does anyone know how many apply each year? On average?

Hey guys,

I just saw this on the Hunter nursing site.

NOTE: Admissions decisions and interviews will be conducted the first week of May. No information regarding admission will be given by phone or email prior to then.

I didn't know they were going to do interviews... makes me more nervous now.. :(

Yeah, I knew they were going to give interviews.I'm not so nervous about the interview as I am about getting it. I really hope I get an interview so I can get in and fulfill my dream of being a nurse! We have to wait a whole other month! I thought we would have known by now.

Hope I am taking Hunter's general electives for a reason and that I am not just wasting my time.

Interviews aren't anything new. Many nursing schools past and present do them and they can be a good thing.

For one it gives the applicant a chance to explain any parts of their application that could be found wanting. Another is allowing a face to become attached to the name which is always a good thing. This allows the person or persons making admitting decisions to see more of a person than what comes across on paper.

Cannot be stressed enough with high unemployment and other factors nursing is still being shouted from the house tops as a good career choice. CUNY nursing programs because of their cost are for some the only option, for others it simply represents good value for money. This has lead to a huge demand for entry, which is probably one of the reasons the interview was added to the admitting process.

I applied and I'm currently taking my last three pre-reqs for entry into the accelerated program. This is my second semester at Hunter. I already have a BS in biology but they said I needed to take a few elective courses. I'm so worried I may not get accepted because I had a composite score of 127. With only 32 students being accepted, it's going to be tough to get into. If I don't get in, it would be a year wasted at Hunter taking these courses. But, I'm going to apply to other schools.
