Georgetown U. Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

Published

Hi Everyone,

I just submitted my application for Georgetown's Accelerated BSN starting Spring 2010 and I just wanted to open a post for anyone else that has applied as well.

dont worry, rejection is rampant when it comes to nursing schools.

has anyone looked through the threads for what happens in the interview? are they one-on-one interviews.. or...? i saw a posting that said it was a group interview. what will be asked of us? is there any way we can prepare?

I have looked through the threads from previous years.. i guess a previous alumni would perform the interview (like 2-3 years ago), then they did group interviews, and then just this year for Fall 09 it appeared they did 1 on 1 interviews. Some questions it appeared they asked were "why do you want to be a nurse" and why do you think you can handle the accelerated pace... i think those are good jumping off marks to start preparing.

WLJ2009--I wish you saw my posting earlier too. I'll just have to find someone who wants to go with me I guess. I'm booking the flight tomorrow--so theres still time people! Let me know :-) (Just curious, how much was your ticket?)

alibra1017--its ok. I keep on getting rejected too. It SUCKS. A LOT. sigh. But life moves on. Keep on trying.

Anyone know how many ppl get chosen for the WHC scholarship? And if the chosen few have super high GPAs or something? It'd be nice to know what my chances are for that thing.

My ticket was $239.99. It helped flying out on weekdays.

how many times have you guys applied? i am just now applying this semester for the first time... and i am expecting lots of rejection letters, just because i keep hearing how hard it is to get into. For all of you, is georegtown your first choice?

Too many...about 5. Waitlisted for one. Georgetown is actually my backup.

My advice is to apply to many to cushion the blow of rejection. Vary it too.

i've applied to schools as i did my prenursing courses, thinking i could get in with my BA and master's, but i feel more confident in applying to nursing schools now. last year, i was rejected at the community college and waitlisted at a private school in virginia. i'm done with all of my prerequisites so i feel more prepared. the rejection from the two-year program really shocked me, though, so the invitation for the georgetown interview made me hopeful!!

georgetown will be my first choice if i get the whc scholarship. otherwise i'm crossing my fingers for the other two state schools that i've applied to. i think it's good to apply to a lot of schools but it's gets pricey with the admissions applications.

hm.... why DO I want to be a nurse?!

the million-dollar question...

Did you book a hotel/hostel too? I'm thinking maybe booking the flight + hotel would be cheaper? But I duno the area, so not sure.

Hi guys! I'm new here, but I wanted to join in and say that I also got an interview for the Spring. I'm (I think) going on the 17th. I was able to pick my day, but didn't get any confirmation after choosing that day. Has anyone else received another e-mail about it?

No email, just a thank you for the submission. What are the other optional days? Just curious on how many interview days there will be. I tried to call ***** ***** and ask her why I was only given Sept 17 for an interview but all I got was voicemail. It's not a big deal, but I will have to skip classes Thursday and Friday..
