Georgetown Accelerated BSN hopefuls -- fall 2013

[nursingjudgment]

Hey -- anyone else applying to GU Fall of 2013? :)

[ProfessorT]

I did get a quick confirm from Dr. R. that she received my essay. I sent mine in early, so she probably had more time to respond.

Hey just thought I would check... (if you guys don't mind :) ) about how long your essay was? I know they said 1000 word max, but did you guys use all of that? I know, probably a silly, nit picky question, but its all the nerves!!!

Sounds like I'll meet a lot of you on the 5th or 6th!

[ProfessorT]

Mine was 993. But, I always have trouble being concise! If you feel confident that you covered the questions well, hold your head high and submit it. It's quality, not quantity. :-)

Is anyone else coming from out of state? I decided to switch to the 5th and 6th so I will be meeting a lot of you! Looking forward to it!

What is on the 5th and/or 6th? I received a WHS application, but did not see any date specifics?

[oh191]

and by out of state I mean out of the DC area :)

[ProfessorT]

Ebab, people are referring to an e-mail inviting selected applicants to attend Georgetown for an informational meeting/tour. If people mention two dates, the other date involves the WHS scholarship interview. (The deadline for the scholarship application essay is March 26.) So, check your e-mail and spam folder for any recent Georgetown e-mails. Good luck, and I hope you get good news!

Thank you Professor T! So some of you have already received interview dates via email?

[ProfessorT]

Yes, a few of us have heard. If you want to be sure, maybe you could call them about your status.

[ProfessorT]

Could someone post if you get a confirm e-mail about the WHS scholarship interview day? I received a confirm only for the information session. I was wondering if they cut people based on essays alone and don't invite them for an interview...not sure how this works. Does anyone know?

[isy123]

will do ProfessorT! I was under the impression that all applicants to WHC would be interviewed. In the original WHC email it said "Applicants for the Georgetown Scholars at Washington Hospital Center program will also be required to confirm attendance at an accompanying visit to Washington Hospital Center in order to interview for a position in this program."

Since they did not say 'selected applicants' I assumed that meant all applicants. I guess we will find out soon!

[ProfessorT]

Thanks, Isy! I think I'm just getting too nervous. Ha. It will be great to meet everyone!
