Georgetown Spring 2011 ABSN applicants

[ambermulan]

I just wanted to start a thread for the Spring 2011 applicants for the ABSN program. I don't know if this is the first time the Gtown is using the nursingCAS or not, but I wanted to hear about everyone else's experience with it.

For those of you who went for interviews, was there any indication of why they had asked for an interview. I only ask because of the email they sent out saying that they would base their decisions on the applications and mycollegei videos, unless there were additional questions. Did you all do the mycollegei interview?

I'm sure the interview will only help you, so good luck!

I didn't do the mycollegi video, but I live in the area. So, it was easier for me to come in person than to prepare a video; and I prefer meeting people firsthand if possible. It was a pretty short interview - the questions that they asked were very basic and pretty much expected - why do you want to be a nurse, application of my non-healthcare background to nursing, etc.

I'm wishing everyone the best luck as well!

[Shaw913]

Thanks! That was calming to my nerves!

Has anyone heard anything yet? I'm wondering if they will send out acceptance and rejection emails at the same time. Did everyone send in their WHC applications already, or are you waiting to hear from Georgetown first?

[TElyse]

In the WHC e-mail, it says admissions decisions will be sent out prior to the scholarship application deadline of Oct. 6, 2010...

[ambermulan]

I haven't heard anything yet but I imagine we'll find out by mid October. Best of luck to everyone. I hope we hear soon.

[TElyse]

Has anybody received an acceptance or rejection letter yet?

[joe8kippy]

I still haven't heard anything yet either. But the waiting is k-i-l-l-i-n-g me!

Surely we'll find out soon, right?!

[Shaw913]

The waiting is driving me insane, too! I am tired of obsessively checking my emails! Someone emailed me from Georgetown on Thursday, because they just needed a course description for my research methods pre-req (it was named something vague on my transcript). But no word on how much longer we will have to wait!

[joe8kippy]

Shaw913, that sounds promising! I'm sure they wouldn't have bothered asking if they didn't really like your application. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

[TElyse]

The waiting is making me so anxious! I wish they would've sent out e-mails on the date they said they would! Even rejection letters! I'm waiting on UMD and Hopkins decisions, too, but they're not expected until at least November. Are any of you waiting on the same schools?

[Shaw913]

Thanks joe8kippy! These accelerated programs are just so competitive, I try not to get my get my hopes up because it could go either way! I don't remember being so nervous waiting to hear back from schools for my undergrad.
