Hi, I had my interview 2 weeks ago at Diman and BP. They both went well. Diman wasn't really even an interview, it was basically looking over the test results line by line. She also gave me 3 reference sheets that I had to have filled out by employers or teachers and have to be mailed in by 3/15. It was pretty quick and she really didn't interview me at all, it was very informal. I did dress up nice though, not a dress, but nice black pants and a button up shirt and a cute dressy jacket over it. Not too formal, but don't go dressed in jeans. At BP the lady had said that she also notes everyones appearance at the interview and that will weigh in on the decision too. I actually wore the same outfit for both, so I was glad I dressed up for it.

She told me at BP that they would be looking over applications starting this week and letters could start to go out as early as next week, I can't wait!!!! Diman should be about mid April for letters to go out she said.

Good luck. How did you do on your TEAS test? Had you taken the classes? I took the night ones in Jan. at Diman.

Thanks for all the info! I didn't apply to BP but I probably should have. I took the TEAS prep courses at night in January too. I did ok on the test, I thought I would've scored a lot better on the math but unfortunately I only got a 62.5. Science I barely passed with a 56.7, English 85.5, and Reading 90. My overall score was 75.3%. I can't complain about the score because at least I passed and the study courses paid off. What were your scores? Oh and did she mention your high school grades during your interview?

That's funny that we both took the same classes, where did you sit? I was the girl with brown hair and I always came with another lady (she was in her 50's with short hair and glasses), we drove together since we both live near each other. We sat in the 2nd row near the middle but on the left if you are facing the smart board.

I got an 82.4 overall. I did the best on reading, I got a 95.0, a 77.8 on math, a 63.3 in Science and 87.3 on english. The science is what brought me down, the rock weathering question I knew I got wrong and the human body questions weren't anything that I knew. Something about bolus is to mouth as ...., and then something about the parasympathetic nerve. The math I did good except for percentages and algebra, I figured the algebra wouldn't be that good but I was surprised at percentages, because I'm usually really good at that. I thought I had done pretty good on the math so I was surprised to get only a 77.8.

No she didn't ask anything about high school grades, she just looked to see if my transcript was there and then she checked it off. I'm sure they will look at it when they are going through applications but she didn't in the interview.

good luck with your interview!!

I sat in the same area! I'm sure I saw you but I can't remember. I really appreciate all the info you've given me. Good luck to you and maybe we'll both be students this fall. :)
