Georgetown Accelerated BSN Program Fall 09 Interviews?

Hi alin_2009 -

I know that the last interview date available to those who were granted interviews is April 7th, and the others were being held yesterday and today. I'd think maybe you might hear something before April if for some reason they didn't like what they saw yesterday or today, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is sometime in April before you hear further regarding additional interview invitations. Sorry for the somewhat pessimistic info, but it is also great that they are considering the possibility of granting more - good luck!

Hello Koala33,

Congrats on your interview. :yelclap: Do you have any pointers on traveling to DC and the whole interview process ?? I will be going in late March... Thanks soo much and good luck on your interview.

I am not a D.C. local, so I had to stay in a hotel the night before. I drove into town. I stayed at the Marriott that's practically right on campus. It made the morning of the interview much less stressful since I only had to walk to St. Mary's Hall. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES! You will be walking a lot.

I literally just posted about the interview in another thread in this section. I felt that they really went out of their way for us. I had an entire list of questions, and all of them were answered completely by the end of the day.

Best of luck at your interview! See you in the fall.

I just received my invitation to interview today for April 7th! I thought this may have been an April Fools joke or something - because I really didn't think i had a chance anymore! But it also says in the email that there will be an additional interview day either late April/early May - hope this is helpful for people who are waiting to hear from georgetown as well!

Koala33 - Do they let you know after the interview if you've been accepted? I also have less than a week to make travel arrangements (I'm traveling from california!) this is all so nerve-wracking - so many questions running through my head! I'm definitely going to check out that Marriott - any other tips would be helpful :)

Ha, I was thinking the same thing when I received my invitation. I had completely lost hope; it seems so late. Too bad I've basically committed to going somewhere else at this point. Good luck to everyone.

No, unfortunately, I'm still waiting to hear. We were told that decisions would be released all together sometime right around Easter.

Hi sasagrrrl - looks like I'll be seeing you next Tuesday (that was the day for which I had scheduled my interview)! Congrats on getting the offer! I live and work in DC and have been here for 5+ years. Hopefully you won't have too difficult of a time booking a room next week since it is the Cherry Blossom Festival this weekend! The Key Bridge Marriot is definitely pretty close, but there is hotel called the Georgetown Inn that is even closer. Not sure about the rates though, but they are probably not that much different. Also, there are a bunch of hotels in the West End/Foggy Bottom that aren't too far away from where we have to go - there is a Marriott there too (I think it is the West End Marriott), and Embassy Suites, a Renaissance Hotel, and I think another Embassy Suites right in Foggy Bottom on 24th Street - you have a lot of options. Also, I'd recommend cabbing there since parking is scarce and the buses are unreliable. The cabs are metered now, so they drivers don't take advantage of visitors so much any more ; )

See you next week!!

I also got an interview. Can anyone who already had their interview share some information? Is it a group interview? Types of questions?

Thanks

I am having a minor freak out.

I'm going to the interviews on Tuesday. Every email that I've received says the interviews are for the accelerated BSN program. I applied to the direct-entry program.

Does anyone know if they are interview for both programs that day? I am hoping they did not make a mistake with my application.

Hello Everyone!

I am also attending the interview/information session on Tuesday, April 7th and was curious if anyone who attended the earlier sessions had received acceptance letters?

Hi everyone,

How did your interviews go? Did Laura Adams or anybody give a day when they said they'd release decisions? I was told "around Easter", which I'm hoping means by the end of this week.

Hi Koala! OMG, so they went fine (no surprises really), but our group was HUGE (40+), so it was kind of scary knowing that most of us probably would not be getting into the program. Everyone was really nice (applicants and Georgetown staff included), so at least that helped make the day enjoyable even though it was long. As always, I found myself trying not to worry about what I said, if I said the right thing, or forget to say something! Laura did tell us we would be notified by email on the 13th, and the scholars program on the 22nd - SO, not too many more days of anxious waiting! She said there were 300+ applicants, 120 got invited back to interviews (so I guess a third were in my group yesterday), and they would accept about 64 and give 42 scholarships. Hope that helps, and good luck!
