Where exactly are you guys able to see your status? Mine still says submitted on page where I can click to open my application. I am assuming it is because I didn't do early admission.

That's right. I applied for the second deadline and we won't know our statuses until after the deadline passes and they review our apps and offer interviews. 

Specializes in Medical/Surgical Intensive Care.

Hey everyone, I noticed a few responses saying they expected to be denied or waitlisted. Why did you feel that way?

For me personally, it was my first interview ever, and their interview process was brutal. So I knew it didn't go as well as I'd want, plus they interview like 100 people for 15 spots. So the odds are not great to begin with.

Thanks for your response. I know most people are weary about sharing their interview experience; however, if you do not mind sharing, what would you have done differently, or what would you suggest to others before interviewing?

One thing I will say is study your resume like you're studying for exams. Whatever you put on your resume, be ready to talk about it in depth. So if you have done something just once or not routinely, do not put it on your resume unless you have full knowledge about it.  Sometimes too they can ask questions that has nothing to do with your background. If you have ccrn book, review it.  For me, I knew it didn't go well because you being the interviewee, you can just feel it. I had mine on zoom and they were having technical issues so they were 40min late and trust me when I said my interview felt rushed.  It felt to me like let's hurry up with her and move on to the next person. They appeared super tired and I didn't feel connected to them. You also have to make sure that you vibe with the faculty especially if you're going to be around them for 3years.  Even if I got accepted, I wouldn't go because the vibe wasn't right for me. Just remember, you are choosing them just as much as they're choosing you.  Good luck.  

Hi! I wanted to know if any facebook group has been made for those who will be attending next Fall. Thank you ?

For those that applied to the first deadline, how long did they take to reach out about an interview once the deadline passed? I applied for the sept 1 deadline and am just curious on the timeline. Thanks.

For those who got in, what would you say helped with your interview?
