Has anyone who did not attend the intern bash but applied online heard back for an interview? I know they said it would take a few weeks to contact everyone but I haven't heard anything yet and I'm starting to lose hope.

Nervously waiting to hear back. I unfortunately did not know about the intern bash so I didn't attend but applied online with preferences for pediatric CVICU or PICU at children's in Dallas. Hoping to hear something soon.

Just submitted my application! Good luck everyone!

Hello! I'm applying to the Critical Care Track! Just waiting to get my letter of recommendation to upload my application!

I didn't really. I was just prepared to express why I wanted to be a nurse/was interested in Emory but to be honest they didn't even ask me those questions. It was more going over what pre-reqs I had left to complete if any, and a chance to ask quest...

Don't quote me on this, but I believe they said within 100 miles or so of Atlanta. I know they said they don't want to place any student more than an hour away from where they live, as they don't want long commutes after long shifts, and they want to...

Good luck to you on your TEAS! I submitted my application 3/1 and all transcripts were in by 3/17. I received an interview invitation on 4/19. I think the process may be a little quicker now that they are actively reviewing applications because when ...

I'm not sure exactly of my GPA. I'm guessing it's somewhere right around a 3.2 or 3.3. I had around a 3.0 prior to my pre-reqs, but I received all A's in those. I already had my CNA certificate complete. I submitted my GRE scores: 155 V, 156 Q, 4.5 A...

Congratulations to you too! Are you planning on attending or did you apply elsewhere?

I just received my acceptance letter! So excited!

Nice! Sounds like we'll probably be classmates then! I'm currently living in the Chicago area, but will likely be moving to the Dallas, TX area before the clinical portion of the program begins. What about you?

I had my interview today as well. They said they would try and get notices of acceptance out ASAP, but made it seem like I didn't have to worry too much about getting in. The interview was more informative than anything for me.

No one else out there applying? I'm still waiting to hear back and it would calm my nerves a little speaking to someone else going through this process!

Hello! I'm planning on applying although I'm waiting on acceptance for another program for fall 2018 and I'll do that if I get in. I graduated in June 2017 with a BA in economics. They had a webinar last night for the program and said they look at yo...

@Jyoti the exams on Portage for psychology are a mix. Some questions are true/false, some are multiple choice, some fill in the blank, and some are short answer/essay. It's that way for both general psychology and developmental psychology.

@ NICUNurse I know your comment wasn't directed at me, but just as an fyi for anyone considering the distance program, at the last virtual info session they said they wouldn't accept anyone in the Distance program who currently lives in the Atlanta a...

I submitted my application about a week ago. Just waiting to hear back on if I got an interview/if they are able to find a clinical placement in my state.

@Pepelala are you planning on applying to the DABSN?

I'm planning on applying to the Dallas location. I'm still so unsure if some of my courses will count to the pre-req requirements as I got my first degree in Illinois so I'm missing a lot of the core curriculum courses. I plan on taking US gov/TX gov...

Depending on how the programs you are considering evaluate candidates, you might not be as far down as you think. Many ABSN programs (not all) consider candidates holistically not just based on their undergraduate GPA. Some also tend to focus more on...

Hello everyone! I've currently paid a deposit to attend an ABSN program local to me starting in fall 2018; however, my husband and I found out recently we might be moving to Texas. We're looking mostly around the Dallas or Houston area, but the move ...

Great thank you!

Hi y'all. I'm trying to understand Texas pre-requisites a bit more. Is there someplace that someone like me (out of state applicant) would be able to take pre-requisites 100% online? All the government/history/english requirements at Texas schools ar...

I just got accepted for summer 2018 at Lincoln Park! My email just came in to check my status for anyone else who is still waiting on decisions!

I've used portage for chemistry, psychology, and developmental psych. I've had no problem with these courses transferring. I have found many schools (though not all) will take chemistry with the lab online, but a lot of them won't accept A&P or m...
