Just out of curiosity, as students at Jefferson, will we have access to the entire medical library, particularly their selection of medical journals? Thanks!

Hi kdrose,

I'm starting FACT in May. Currently I'm a graduate student at Jefferson. You can go to Jefferson's library website and login with your campus key (or do it through pulse) and have access to all the journals and reference databases that Jefferson offers. As a grad student, I use pubmed a lot for research and I looked at medical textbooks through access medicine as a reference. On Jeff's library website, there are nursing resources too under the 'nurses' tab. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I'll try that!

CPinPhilly,

The interview went well, I think. Of course after the interview, I thought of all of the things I should've mentioned but I hope she was able to feel my enthusiasm. She told me she would have an answer for my by the end of the week. However, it turned out to be 2 1/2 weeks before I heard anything. I have been placed on the waitlist. Does anyone know if someone on the waitlist actually gets called? I am somewhere in the top 5 on the list. What is the probability of actually getting in?

kdrose01 · Mar 10, 2011

If you're in the top 5, I imagine you have a pretty good chance at getting in. People who plan to attend don't always get to, since other things happen (can't get the loans, gets pregnant, spouse changes/loses job, etc.). Keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks, kdrose. I will definitely keep my fingers crossed!

Probability is good. Several of my classmates had been on the waiting list.

AtomicWoman, do you know how long it was before your classmates heard about an opening? Was it as late as the day before the program began? Just curious to know how long before I think it's really not going to happen.

At least one of them heard a few weeks before classes started. I didn't hear about anyone hearing any later than that, but there could have been some who fell into that category.

I'm just checking these posts out. I plan to apply for the May 2012 class and I am excited. I wish you all the best for this coming year's program!

I am with you. I plan to apply for 2012 as well.
