The information given in the email that announced the interviews gives more clarity at the process if you haven’t taken the GRE.

I thought it just said in order to be considered for the final selections phase that you needed to have a scheduled GRE date. If not then you would be left on "pending". Did I miss something else? I don't think it says anything about achieving a certain score to accept your acceptance. Sorry, I just want to double check that I'm not missing any other info! Thanks

It doesn't say anything else. All that we needed to do was schedule to take it and submit the scheduled date to the program coordinator.

Hi! I just interviewed today and was told that they score everything and take the top 45 scores. GPA, Letters of recommendation, GRE, CCRN and the interview create a composite score that they enter into an excel spreadsheet and they take the top...

My interview was awful...It seems like a lot of people had a great experience. It's a waiting game now. They will make a decision by Monday and we should hear back anywhere between Monday and Wednesday... Best wishes everyone!!

Did we just have to upload our scheduled GRE date to NursingCAS or do we also have to inform the coordinator?

Thanks for clarifying how they process our applications. I felt the same about my interview. It was not hard at all, and they were very friendly, but I don't feel I was able shine with my answers. It's just the waiting game now as you said! We'll find out soon!

Hi! Thanks for clarifying that process! Why did you feel it was awful?? You’re probably just overthinking it tbh.

I emailed the coordinator and she said she would put it in my file!

I agree. Don't beat yourself up over it. You've done all you can do and at this point it's just a waiting game. Wishing everyone good luck and hope we all hear good news in the coming days!

Good luck to everyone!

You never know with these interviews. I've felt like I did great and still didn't get in. It's all about the vibe they get from you, especially in a non-clinical interview. We will soon see who they feel is a good fit for the 2023 class. Good luck everyone!
