Georgetown ABSN Fall 2011

Published

Any applicants to the Georgetown ABSN program for Fall 2011 out there? I have been reading old threads from last year and for applicants to Spring 2011, but it would be nice to have a place for Fall 2011 applicants to talk.

From what I read in past threads, the application to the WHC program is sent out any day now and we hear about whether or not we are being interviewed at the end of February.

So who's out there?

@lstuckey79: They actually already sent out the WHC scholarship information via email! Maybe check your spam folders? The WHC informaiton came along with the email that confirmed that they had our applications. I think we're supposed to hear back from Georgetown during the first week of April.

Okay, so I got the confirmation email...it said this

The Georgetown Scholars at Washington Hospital Center program application consists of one short ess ay. The prompt for this 1000 word or less essay is available here. An email containing the electronic form to submit this application will be sent later in the application cycle. This scholarship will be due in early April several days after program admission decisions are released. Scholarship decisions will be released well before enrollment confirmations are due.

However, I got the impression that you can only submit the essay for the scholarship if you receive the email about the scholarship later in the application cycle. Is this your understanding?

I haven't heard anything back yet. I am extremely antsy and was thinking of posting to this forum earlier today! Less than 2 weeks until the beginning of April at least....

Hi All! It is ALMOST early April! That means we will be hearing back from Georgetown REALLY soon!! Just to let you all know, I heard that they received 260 applications for 60 spots in the class this year. Goodness gracious I just can't wait to hear back!

I agree this week has been brutally long, I just want to know! I hope we hear on Friday.

Just a general question for all the Georgetown applicants (I am one too). It sounds like a lot of you have George as your top choice. I am curious why since they are not ranked in the top 10, and are so incredibly expensive, and are longer than other programs. I guess as I think about where I go to school next year, I am curious how other applicants are ranking their potential programs.

So far I have created a sort of spreadsheet with length of program, cost (overall, including cost of living), Clinical site location (quality of hospitals), NCLEX passing rate, overall ranking of the program (both through USNews and NIH funding).

What do you guys think?
