Fall 2011 Western University of Health Sciences MSN-E

Published

Anyone applying to WesternU's MSN-E program? If so, do you know when they will start the interview process? What they look for in their applicants (gpa, extracurricular, etc)?

Current students--What were your stats like?

Any information would be helpful =)

Thanks in advance!

I was denied last year and I only got a letter in the mail.

Thanks for the info. I had my interview date towards the end of January. From what I understand, I was one of the first few groups to be interviewed via regular interview and not via "early acceptance" or something like that. I've been waiting for literally a month now and have not heard a word yet. Has anyone heard asides from the early acceptance people? :( I'm getting super worried... Best of luck to you though! :)

There was about 15 people on the day of my interview. We broke into 3 groups for the essay, interview and campus tour. The inteviewers said to me, "Decisions will be mailed and emailed out towards the end of February after all interviews have been conducted and final decisions are made". I am not sure what that was supposed to mean. :confused:Plus the interviewers were really nice to me although I was nervous.

My interviewers were very nice too! I guess 2 of the early acceptance people posted on this thread a few weeks ago and were unsure of whether or not they would be putting the deposit down, but I don't think they posted either way. I'm sure we'll know by Friday

ilnurse, i am hoping that a good interview means good news for us... :) i would love to go to western but i'm really nervous right now... so none of the regular interview people have heard yet? i had an early interview.. i am hoping that was a perk.. when was your interview?

I interviewed 2/15. I'm doubting that the timing of the interview is a significant factor this time around. Considering how NursingCAS works the later your interview might just be based on when they were able to view your application from NursingCAS or when the committee was able to get to your application.

ilnurse, i guess we'll never really truly know... I submitted my secondaries literally on the due date... and with the primary apps on nursingCAS, i submitted that pretty last minute too... probably a few weeks before my secondaries were due. i hope we do get in though! :)

did you apply to any other programs by chance? and have you heard yet?

Yes, I applied and interviewed at Rush, I also applied and was accepted into Samuel Merrit's ABSN program that starts this summer. I'm also applying to GWU. How about you?

Hi Guys! I talked with admissions today and they said they just finished up with the "interviews". I'm not sure if that means they interviewed more candidates or that they finished looking over the "interviews". But at any rate, they said we should be hearing soon.
