Ohio State Master's Entry Summer 2016

I thought the interview questions this year were better as well. I felt fairly confident in my interview.

I am still pretty nervous about my application though I have improved immensely from last year. I don't expect to hear back from them until next year, I do wish it was sooner. I applied for FNP and psych. I know FNP is hard to get into hence the nervousness

@Toothless, I did not catch that you were a re-applicant. I think last year I was pretty naive about how competitive all the specialties are, and how much that changes year-to-year. I hated the LikeLive process and questions last year. I don't think we had breathing room between questions, but this year, we did. That was a huge relief.

I just want to know one way or the other! Ack! If I don't get accepted to OSU, I will look at MSJ.

Yeah I applied to the FNP speciality last year and got on the wait list. I didn't have my pre-reqs done. This year I've taken everything necessary along with additional coursework and started volunteering in a free clinic so I hope I am a more competitive applicant.

Hi Kbuss_14,

I read your comment about having 4 interview questions. I only had 3. Did everyone have four? It went so fast (and I took it the very next day after the invite), so I'm having a hard time recalling if the questions automatically moved to the next and so on....but I do remember I did about 3 practice questions to get comfortable with it all and then started the actual interview and was surprised when it ended after the 3rd question. So now I'm nervous if I missed a question or something! I was going to say that maybe they have a different number of questions depending on the specialty, but I think you said you applied to Women's Health, and so did I. So now I'm just nervous that I messed up some how!?

I applied to CNM and had 4. One question was about the specialty while 3 were general.

I applied to FNP and Psych and I had 4 questions.

@Pray247, I applied to a different specialty than you and also had four questions. We had four last year as well. I would call admissions and follow-up if you're worried.

Did anyone apply for fellowships? And does anyone know the total cost of the program?

Tuition is ~$7,661 for a full time student that has Ohio residency. More for non-ohio resident. Here's a link to the fee table. http://registrar.osu.edu/feetables/Web_AU15_Fee_Table/indiv_tables_au15/GRAD_Nursing%20(Students%20Admitted%20Autumn%202013%20and%20After).pdf

Well, I keep compulsively checking this thread for updates, but since it seems to have died down since last week I just want to say happy holidays and good luck!

toothless · Dec 21, 2015

At this point I wouldn't expect any updates from the school until after the holidays are over

I am so nervous now - because I keep wrecking my brain thinking if I thought wrong and there maybe were 4 questions?! I know that I did about 3 practice questions before moving on to the actual interview. Maybe I'm confused? I don't know if it even is possibly to miss a question. I can't remember...ahhh. Anyway, I do know that there wasn't anything specific to my specialty that was asked....more like generalized questions.

I'm going to try not to think too much about it though because I think I will drive myself crazy. Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays and hopefully we can all update each other with good news soon.

@Pray247,

Aww, I would just call the school and ask them to check if you answered all the questions! If you hit the submit button as soon as the next question started, it would be possible to skip a question. The admissions counselor is super nice, and may still be in the office today.
