Hey guys! I just received an email for the interview! I am freaking out because while doing my BSN I was not required to take patho! I am scrambling to at least be enrolled in the class so it doesn't look like my application is incomplete! What do I do? I am having trouble even finding the course number at some schools...

Got the interview invite at 1159 AM today! my gre is pending re-opening of test centers, however, I had an expired score report that was sent in with my app(from 2014). Any word on interviews? Clinical knowledge vs personality based?

I received an email about an interview today as well! I'm somewhat at a crossroads as I was just accepted into the University of Miami's Nurse Anesthesia program a few days ago and have 4 weeks to put in a $3,000 deposit to secure my seat. The cost of UM makes me so extremely nervous but the curriculum looks a little "less rigorous" than FIU's ( obviously every Anesthesia program is extremely hard regardless LOL). I'd be absolutely torn if I were to get into FIU as well. Does anyone on here know students in both programs and can compare between the two?! CONGRATS on everyone receiving interviews and good luck!

Will you have time to interview with FIU and have a decision before your deposit is due at UM?

Did you include a letter with your application stating that you will take the GRE once the testing centers re-open? I am planning to submit my application later this week. I’m still waiting on one more reference.

That's a great point. I most likely will pay the deposit and secure my spot but interview with FIU. Money is definitely not the most important thing when deciding on your future (happiness, in the end, is the goal) but I'm telling you, the thought of paying almost double the tuition is a little scary...

I did not include a letter, but mentioned it to Mairelys via email correspondence. Good luck with submitting! I'm sure they can show some flexibility and compassion at this time.

CONGRATS on getting your interviews! For those who received their interview invites...I am curious as to the timing, are they for this month, next month?

Thanks!

I haven't received and interview and I submitted with without a GRE. When I check my application status it says "Official documents pending". Guess I'll email the coordinator.

Just want to make sure: has anyone received an interview without taking the GRE?
