I appreciate the feedback! I did attend the info seminars and I had very similar notes as to what they were looking for in the personal statement and did my best to touch on all of those subjects. I did not have a lot of recent community engagement. ...

I thought for sure it would be an issue with my personal statement but according to them, it was primarily GPA that negatively impacted me...*shrugs* I am sure there was other factors that impacted their decision, though. I think community engagement...

You know... it does kind of stink! i was really hoping for something more concrete that I could have done better... like my personal statement, extra curriculars, etc. But all he said was what most negatively impacted me was having a GPA .02 below t...

Thanks guys! Good luck to everyone accepted!

Awesome, thank you! I contacted the college today to see how to improve my application. They said the faculty noted I had a really strong statement and reference letters. My overall undergrad GPA ended up being 3.51 (3.6 during undergrad at osu but w...

Can I ask what kind of volunteer opportunities you did?

Congrats to everyone that got in! I was unfortunately rejected. I applied to FNP, had a 3.68 undergrad GPA (in radiologic sciences) and all prerequisites completed with all A's and two Bs. I feel like my references were strong- all from doctorate lev...

No one that I know has heard back yet.. interesting!

Has anyone recently spoken with CON and found out an exact date for decisions? Just curious if anyone has heard anything!

I don't know of one!

The cohort last year found out around December 20th. We had our interviews a week earlier than them this year so I would say we might possibly know a week earlier. So, sometime between December 12th-20th is my personal guess!

I'm sure hoping not. Mine wasn't the smoothest either.

yes, for Ohio State. I haven't heard of anyone not getting an interview.. everyone that I spoke with has received an interview.

I know....!!! EEK!

I bet we will know in the next 20ish days!!

So according to the thread from last years' cohort, their interviews were a week later than ours and it seemed that they found out around December 19th/20th. SO hopefully (fingers crossed) we will know by this time next month!

I am checking every single day too. Hopefully around this time next month we will know!

Sounds like you have a strong application! I would like to say not to worry but I know that is easier said than done-- I am in the same anxious boat. The waiting game is tough. What specialty did you apply to? As for my stats, I had a 3.6 undergrad G...

As someone already said, I believe that for grad entry, no portion of the program is online. However, my friend did an accelerated BSN program at UC and then applied to OSU as a traditional student so that she could complete the program online while ...

Yep! I plan on quitting if I am accepted, which makes me nervous but I know it'll be worth it. I plan on staying PRN and just picking up on breaks and occasional weekends.

That's awesome! I wish I would have gone back to school right after I graduated from Ohio State in 2014!

I currently work in radiology, computed tomography to be exact! Will you be quitting your career to go back to school if accepted? This waiting game is rough!

same! I was totally prepared for the first question..the rest, not so much!

Unfortunately, I did not apply to any other schools. I did my undergraduate at Ohio State and thought it was a great experience. A few of my classmates entered the graduate entry NP program and they have all said positive things.

Prior to the interview invitations, they sent out an expected timeline email. According to that- it said we should know by end of December. I believe people last year found out around that time too.
