National University - Cohort 61 -SD

Published

Hi,

I wanted to start this for those who are applying to Cohort 61. Has anyone been to a recent nursing info session where they've gone over anything about the newly added interview component?

Thanks!

Hey All!

It’s 3PM so interviews are officially over! We find out next week and the anticipation will definitely be amongst all of us once again.

I feel as though the interviews were so relaxed. They had said that everyone was doing such a good job with interviews that they were very pleased and since it’s the first time they conducted interviews I think that’s why it was a little more lenient then expected.

Since the interviews are only worth 20% of the entire application, you can tally up your current points to get a sense of where you stand.

Hoping for the best, but good luck everyone!!!!

Do you mind explaining how to tally your overall points?

gpa x 10

teas x .4

interview x .2

The total is your points, i think average last time was 87

Correct. But since the average was way higher last year, we can expect the average for this cohort to be lower as well!!

How do we know the score of our interview? Or are we just guessing?

yep!

My apologies. It would actually just be

GPA x 10

TEAS x 0.4

Interview x 0.2

This is if it is based on a 100 point scale.

We don't know until acceptance letters are sent out. but id just guess based on how you think it went. I think it went very well but im still gonna round down and give myslef a 4. Which gives me 88 points total.

I believe it was out of either 4 or 5. Each interviewer gives you a score, and they take the average of that. Hope this helps! ❤️

Interview it out of 5! so we got that part wrong too lol, multiply your interview score times 4!

GPA 3.7 =37 pts

TEAS 87.3 x .4 = 34.92 pts

Interview 4.25 x4 = 17 pts

Total points 88.92
