Yes, I got wait listed as moderately likely. A friend of mine got accepted even though my GPA was higher. I was really hoping on getting straight acceptance, being placed as moderately likely, there's no hope for me.

I have my nursing interview with MHCC on April 29th at 5:30 pm.Does anyone have any insight or tips to the the interview process? This is my first nursing interview so I am a bit nervous!
Dress professionally and conservatively, and know why you why you want to be there. I dug through old threads on MHCC that I found on Allnurses, and those are very helpful.

Quick question. Do you remeber the names of the interviewers? I wanted to send thank you cards but I cant for the life of me remember their names.

I'm sorry to hear that, but you honestly never know, a lot of people get accepted into a community college and prefer to go that route. So you could definitely get in still!
My understanding is that after you get an interview, they only consider your score from the interview and the proctored essay, they actually do not use your GPA to determine your entry once you secure an interview.

Could be this week, but most likely will be the end of next week. They REALLY didn't want to guarantee a specific release date when I interviewed. Here's hoping we all get in!!

Look up general nursing school questions and practice what things you want to say. You want to appear confident, but don't repeat what you practiced word for word either. The goal is to come across as genuine.
