We've been leeching of the Fall 2009 thread too long. It has 78Pages so far. I just wanted to see if we could hear from those that are in.
Has anyone registered yet? Bought your books? Any recommendations? Anyone applying for the New UM Scholars or Baptist Scholars?
Btw, that was great news to hear that UM is taking over where Jackson Scholars left off. Even, for those not interested in the program it's great because with those 2 programs it adds another 80 seats to the program. Thus, lowering the GPA cutoff, which should be great news for those that will apply in future semesters.
I'd love to hear from those that got in the Fall 09 but I can't seem to locate most of them.
Ok the whole message I just typed up just got deleted, rawr. So, I had my interview today for the Baptist Scholarship. It truly was not my best performance as far as interviewing goes, I usually excel in the interview setting, but I think today was an exception. I wasn't even nervous, but I arrived 2 hours early, and all that sitting around ended up making me nervous. The panel was made up of 4 people, who were all very nice. They mostly asked me situational questions about past work experience. I really wish everyone the best of luck. Try to relax beforehand, and be confident in yourself. Let us know how it turns out. ( I really hope that I'm imagining it went worse than it actually did). Everyone please do not be discouraged by my post, today just wasn't my day. Good luck everyone, I hope we all get it.
Well, just got back from the interview. And as everyone has mentioned they were very nice. All, job and school related questions. I second MDCupcake and hope we all get in.
I have to admit that place was beautiful. Lucky for those that get the opportunity to got to school and work there.
I wish us all good the best, for hopefully we could all meet up there.
FINALLY SOMEONE DID IT!! LOL thank you Prospective! we needed a new thread
IM IN and once again congratulation to all who made it! I already registered for the generic full time option at the Homestead campus.. no books yet.. im waiting for our orientation.. how about you Prospective?
Great campus and Great Professors! Enjoy your holidays and rest a lot now.
Hey i just realized my post did not makes sense. The question was other than if the hospital was beautiful, are the classes held at the hospital or do we still have to go to Medical Campus for classes?
I just wanted to ask for a favor and if you had an interview with Baptist please let us know when you receive any notice from Baptist..I'm anxiously waiting! Thanks in advance
I had my interview this past Tuesday. It went well I believe. I was super nervous before going in but once the first few words came out, everything was ok ! They ladies were very nice and relaxed. They told me we wouldn't be hearing a response for 10-15 days. So we'll all be anxiously waiting and hopefully to get a nice ACCEPTANCE around the holidays! Good luck to everyone and keep us all posted!!
I have two more shots: UM Scholars and the HCA Scholars, which we can only apply after the end of the 1st Semester.
On the bright side, I don't have to hurry and move to Kendall as I had planned in the event I got it. Further, I'm one that embraces the word "no", for the more nos I hear, that only means a yes is that much closer.
Ok so I was reading your post in disbelief thinking that you were about to say "Just Kidding." I'm very surprised by that. I must say,you have a very positive outlook though, and thats awesome. You ARE that much closer to yes ::hug::. I'm sure someone will scoop you up soon, and they will be lucky to have you! I hope that one of the scholarships works out for you. Please let me know if you hear anything more.
