How many students does Temple University accerelated BSN program accept?

I think it was a really small number, like 16 or so. I think they are increasing that. But someone here on the board goes there so maybe she'll chyme in.

I have also applied to this program for Fall 2009. I graduated from Temple in 2005 with a BA in Journalism. I got a letter today letting me know that I have an interview next week with the nursing department. I'm pretty nervous. Is there anyone on here that is in the program now? If so what should I expect? Any help with be much appreciated! Thanks and good luck to all the other applicants!

When did you submit your application? It is said they did group interview in the past. Not sure if they still do that this year. I handed in application early January but haven't got notice yet. They're evaluating my transcripts.

Greenland,

I applied in December. The letter does not mention a group interview. It said that I have an interview with an individual in the nursing department. The interview is scheduled for 1.5 hours. Seems like a long time! They letter said to call and confirm to accept the interview immediately after receiving it. I did and I got a recorded voice message saying to leave my name and date of my interview to confirm. As far as I know all is set for me to go to my interview next week unless I hear back from them. I'll post more after the interview.

I'm sure you will hear soon. The deadline to apply is Feb. 15. I'm guessing they are starting interviews as soon as possible depending on how many people got their applications in prior to Feb. 15.

Good luck for your interview next week! By the way, have you finished the pre-requisites?

AFrances24 · Jan 29, 2009

Thanks! I have finished all of the pre-reqs except Nutrition which I am taking now and Chemistry which I'm going to take in the summer.

Hi, AFrances24,

How was your interview going? I also got a letter today from Temple. My interview in about two weeks and scheduled for one and half hour. Please write something about your interview if possible.

Thanks in advance !

Greenland,

Actually I had to reschedule my interview so I haven't had it yet. I am going on Feb. 12 which is next week. I am still wondering if it's a group interview since 1.5 hours seems like a long time to have a one on one interview. We'll see. Good luck with yours! I'll post next week about it.
