Midwestern University 2020

Anyone looking to start submitting their apps in the coming months for MWU?

I got waitlisted as well. Doesn’t seem like many people got invitations to interview from just looking on the allnurses site. Maybe there is still hope and this is something new their doing this year because I haven’t seen where people have been waitlisted before being invited for an interview before.

I applied late last year in October for the 2019 class. I received an email in February 2019 that my application would be put on hold " pending possible future interview invitation." I was reached out to again in May of this year with questions about a class I had taken. Someone had reached out to me in October 2018 with the same question so I assumed my application was being recirculated for the 2020 class. I received an invite to interview back in August of this year for 2020. I think you have a chance to still interview for 2020 since interviews are just beginning. It just depends on how quickly they fill the program. I was told last year that interviews go until the program is filled which could be as early as October or as late as January (keep in mind that was 2018 for a 2019 start and interviews began in July 2018... interviews are taking place later this year). And if you do not receive an invite to interview for 2020, then your application may likely be rolled over to 2021.

I also received the waitlist email and I applied in June 2019. It would be nice to be considered for an interview for the 2020 class, but I wouldn’t mind if they automatically rolled over my app to the next class, 2021, without having to reapply if I’m not considered for the 2020 class. But, we have plenty of time right? The 2020 class starts in August and I wonder when they usually finish choosing candidates. Is it also October after their interviews ? So we would know for sure in November?? Does anyone know?

So, did you get in for the 2020 class? and if so when did they notify you since you already went for an interview in August.

I received an invitation for an interview in August. I don't interview until the end of October.

Can I just vent? I’ve applied to midwestern twice. Didn’t get an interview. I feel like they only care about your GPA to be quite honest with you. Sigh. If you don’t have above 3.8 , you won’t get interviewed.

I have heard they were selecting top 60 applicants based on science GPA so thats probably true. Maybe there are science classes you could take or re-take online to give you a boost?

I am not trying to discredit what anyone has heard but don't lose hope. I barely have a 3.5 overall GPA with a 3.37 science GPA and received an interview. I have to believe they take experience into account when inviting applicants for interviews because my GPA is not the most competitive.
