Interview at FIU

Published

I also have an interview at FIU. I went down to drop off my application on Tuesday, I live about an hour away, and by the time I got home I had an email inviting me to interview this December. So December 9th is my date. From what is enclosed in the letter it is an all day thing, from 8 am to 4 pm. There will be an introduction to the program, a tour of the school, and opportunities to speak with other students. I still need to get the rest of my material sent prior to the interview.

I am getting pretty nervous about the interview, specifically clinical questions. I interview fairly well in the personal, and job experience areas, when being asked clinical questions the stage fright kicks in. On the bright side, is the invitation letter stated that results of acceptance into the program will be delivered within 2 weeks of the last interview date which is December 13th.

Any info on FIU would be appreciated.

cole....where do you work? i also live about an hour from FIU, in

Deerfield Beach and work at Delray's CVICU. I have my interview on the 8th. from what i have "heard," FIU's interview process is more personal geared, but that was a couple years ago when i had a friend that got in there. i was a little surprised when i got the invitation, as i thought the interviews weren't conducted until early '09. Have you applied anywhere else? I'm waiting to hear from UM. well, good luck on the interview. let me know if you hear anything about it. thanx, -Anthony

I am at Delray also in TICU, I think we were in the new grad class together, I noticed when you posted for the first time, and thought I knew you. I was very surprised also, and I am still trying to get my recommendations sent in to them at FIU. I was really expecting interviews in the february time frame. Now I am going crazy trying to think about what they will ask, and how the interview will be. I read on another board similiar to what you had said, the board being more personal with a few simple clinical questions. But I am still worried.

I was going to wait to apply to UM, but they have the scholarship available if you apply before December 1st, So I am applying there also. But i think i have a preference towards FIU. I think the drive will be better on the turnpike to FIU rather then by I-95 to UM. FIU is less expensive, and I am not stuck in any contracts. If FIU doesn't work out, then I will start looking at the application dates for Barry, which isn't until 2009.

I wanted to get in on the 8th, to get the interview done with first thing, but working the night before is not going to work out. Good luck.

This makes me laugh b/c as a BSN student who knows she want to go to CRNA school I've been hearing keep it close to the vest. That the two of you know each other and don't know that you are both applying shows that is the best way to play it (unfortunately - if you are in it for the right reasons).

My SIL is applying to the program for 2010 and I'd be interested in hearing anything about the application process/experience.

Best of luck to both of you.

This is Mark. I work in trauma. If you are who I think you are, I was in your new grad class with Karla, Amy, and Greg.

If you don't mind, let me know how the interview goes, since you are going a day before me.

Thanks

Mark

How did the interviews go. Was it more "personal" as you all had expected, and if so, what exactly do you mean by that? I plan to apply to FIU's program in the future as well.
