AAAAnnnndddd...I am weary about the fact that payment is due 2 days after my interview 1 day after sawyers so...i feel even if they like you no matter what you are put on a waiting list...i dont know...not to get anyones nerves up..tho I am sure I do a great job on that i cant help but wonder... ok NOW i feel all that is nagging at me is out and NOW I can concentrate on this dang resume....its been way too long...lol

JMarie.......breathe and relax (that is what I am telling myself too):wink2: You will have your stuff in time and just in case bring the unofficial hs transcript and just tell him that the hs was ******* you around and being too slow - but please find a more eloquent way to tell him!

Keke - I am dying to change the subject too so hopefully by next week there will be a different thread with a different title that says something positive! I didnt want to mail my stuff in early because I was paranoid that it would get lost in the shuffle - On the day of the NET when I went to give my name - they didnt have it so I was sweating bullets until the woman found my app and said she forgot to put my name on the list!!

I am shocked about Michael J too - Keke I remember watching the video too - didnt MTV announce in plenty of time so we could all gather around the TV to watch it - was it on after school or at nite? I feel like I remember that I was psyched to get home from school to watch it - what year was that? Was it before VCRs were popular (oh god now I sound geriactirc!!)

Have a good weekend guys and Jmarie - post if you are feeling overwhelmend - it seems to help when reading this thread.

man my personal statement is 258 words long and i do not know how to make it 200 without making it less if that makes sense..I am sooo tired..I receive my 3 letters today..my resume just needs to be typed up and I am good for tomorrow...

JMarie - GOOD LUCK tomorrow and let me know how it goes!!!

Jmarie24 · Jun 28, 2009

thanks Sawyer! I will let you know everything and hopefully that can be of some help to you!

sawyer12 · Jun 29, 2009

OK....I've got all my stuff together and JMarie - my statement is way more than 200 words! Now I feel sick to my stomach and I know the feeling wont pass until I know one way or the other. I am taking all of tomorrow off because I dont think I will be able to function at work!

JMarie....cant wait to hear your experience - I was sending positive vibes your way.

ok... I am alive! woohoo...lemme tell you the first minute I thought I was going to pass out!! but then I got over it real fast as I was listening to his every word! As mentioned before he mentions how intensive the course really is...how if you are already in healthcare is advantage.. I did have time to speak coz I made sure I did...I wish I thought of more to say I was in a half comatose state i think sitting there nodding my head up and down to death like a bobblehead...

the first thing he asked me was why I wanted to go into the program..That was when I was forgetting how to breath and fumbled my words..not soo smooth but the rest I feel went very very very well... I got a smile out of him which to me felt like victory! I am applying for day and he did say to me that those spots are filling up quick and last interview is Wednesday so someone booked after you! More people in our way!!! ..Grrr...lol... He did ask me about night/wkd sched I said ill make it work if I got in...I just want in! It would suck though...work would be on more days with school then day program but 10 months wont kill me...ill handle it...he talks with lady on Wednesday about who will fill rest of spots...They send the letters out then...and we hear if we get in or are on a waiting list in 1 week...

I was very organized and had all my stuff together..I am just so mad about the most important question he asked me and I was fumbling so bad...good communication skills my butt!!!

I do feel it went well and will just pray for the best...I did have to get a something ?? background check related notarized befoer my applicationw ould be complete because I am out of state..I went straight to the bank and had it done then I went right back there...he was with another applicant...his door was open so I heard EVERYTHING! The individual did not have his personal statement!!!! My jaw hit the ground... he was like "will this affect me getting in?" and he was like "no it will not dont worry about it"...WHAT? It was on the list of requirements...i was wondering if he said that to avoid confrontation.....he had medical experience but seemed very unorganized....I won't lie I feel good knowing that I had my interview the same day as that individual...I wonder if they pick one a day..if that makes sense...he did look at my statement and my letters of rec in front of me..not reading in entirety but skimmed it and did read a little bit..he was shaking his head up and down and muttering good that looks good.....so anyways it was about an hour long...hey who knows sawyer we could hopefully be in the same class together!!!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!! GOOD VIBES YOUR WAY!!!!! LET US KNOW EVERYTHING!!

Congratulations on your interview...it sounds like you did great and have a good shot at getting in.

Sawyer~ Good luck today!

sawyer12 · Jun 30, 2009

Thanks for the vibes guys!!!

ok........Im home. The interview went well...I think. It is so hard to tell. JMarie, like you I was fumbling my words a bit. I made sure I listened intently. I did feel a bit insecure when I told him I have no healthcare experience and havent taken any science courses - I really think it will be held against me. I am hoping that my NET score and personal statement will make up for that. It did seem like there were more openings in the nite program vs the day. I dont now.....I wont be able to calm down until I get that letter and know one way or the other.

Prisi - If you are reading this he said that the wait list people have a good chance of getting in - A lot of people dont send in their $$$ on time so then they go to the wait list.

He said he was mailing out letters tomorrow so we might even know before the weekend. I just want this to be over!!!!!!!! Let me know when you get the letter - GOOD VIBES FOR US!!!!!!

Oh and another thing - that guy who didnt have his statement yesterday at your interview JMarie.......I am sorry but he should have been made to leave. There were certain requirements that we needed and he didnt have them - I hope he doesnt get a pass because he has experience. I mean he is already showing he is not responsible. It reminds me of testing day when people didnt have their license - I mean the only thing we had to bring was a photo ID and you dont have your license!!!!!! Sorry for venting.....just trying to trick myself into thinking that we have a better shot because we are organized and did what we were told!!!

Did he mention anything about the orientation? I don't even know if that is what is was called but I think it is either next week or the week after??

Jmarie24 · Jun 30, 2009

sawyer! oh I was sending positive vibes your way today!! Sounds like it went well..you had everything you needed...oh i know what you mean about the person that didnt have all his stuff but I think he was maybe avoiding confrontation ya know? But I hear ya on that!!! Makes me feel better to hear that a lot of ppl dont hand in money on time... ok so MAYBE we will hear by Friday???? awww man.... If I get in man oh man it will be a crazy 10 months but soooo worth it.... My NET score will prolly end up biting me in the butt mixed with the no healthcare but thinking positive but not too positive...aghhh cant eat or sleep for last 2 days...nerves...sooo anooying they can be sometimes!!

Well GOODLUCK TO YOU SAWYER AND PRISI ON GETTING IN!!!! I REALLY HOPE THE NEXT POSTS FROM ALL OF US IN SAYING YAYYYY I GOT IN!!!
