Oakland University ASD-BSN July 2011 Interview

Published

Hi All,

I was just notified a few days ago of receiving the opportunity to be interviewed for the next upcoming class of Accelerated Second Degree Nursing students at OU. As I was researching tonight I came upon a few threads from previous interviewees. So I thought the group of us going through this exciting and nerve wrecking process can keep in touch and go through it together. I am interviewing on July 14 and am very nervous :confused:. I want to be thoroughly prepared. As I was reading the posts I noticed some people mentioned an essay. I was not informed of any essay that had to be written at the interview. Has the interview process changed and have they stopped requiring candidates to write an essay? In my email notification of my interview all they told me was that the interview would be about 20 minutes long. If anyone has any valuable information and advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Have a great night and enjoy the weekend! The weather has been beautiful! :)

They used to have you write an essay before your interview, not anymore. The only essay I know of is the goal statement provided with the application materials.

I interviewed in October 2010 for the accelerated program and there was not an essay that was required to be written during the interview. The interview was simply like a job interview. So nerve wracking though! I was accepted that time around. Don't be surprised if it takes more than one interview. It did for me and several others. Good luck! Just remember what you wrote in your goal statement and stay positive.

How did everyone's interview go? Mine was about 15-20 minutes and I was told I would hear a decision sometime in August.

I have been working on pre-reqs. for a while and I have read all of the former posts and I finally had my interview a couple of days ago and I thought it went pretty good. But I wasn't asked about my GPA like others said in earlier posts. I was told the decision will be made mid August maybe later, so from reading all the previous boards this is going to be a nerve wracking experience.

But from the previous posts I gathered if the deposit is due on August 15 (I think my letter about the transcripts said something about that date not sure if that is the exact date) it looks like they send out acceptance letters a couple of weeks before the deposit due date so I think acceptance letters would go out within the first few days of August if the deposit is due around the 15th of August, but not for sure exactly when the deposit is due......so hopefully we hear something in a couple of weeks. fingers crossed
