Hi everyone, I am a student from a past cohort and strongly caution any of you who think of applying to this program. To sum it up in a few words, this program will take you to your limits, cause you constant anxiety, and consume every single moment of your time from January to December. Some directors in leadership care very, very, very little about student success and student mental/emotional well-being. The priority is on NCLEX pass rates. Students are offered little to no help when they fall behind the pack; in fact, they are almost always discouraged from trying to catch back up. Many friends were directly told things by faculty along the lines of "you have no hope." Myself, I attended class full time (around 15 hours not counting labs), attended clinical 36 hours a week (Summer semester), and studied upwards of 40 hours a week. Overall, it was about 100+ hour time commitment per week. If you have a family, say goodbye to them for a year. If you have a current job, resign. Every single student who tried to work during the program flunked out. Many students' emotional integrity dropped to dismal levels directly due to careless, thoughtless comments directly from faculty and leadership (I.e. students walking out of exams sobbing multiple times). To sum it up, if I could go back through the application process, I would have chosen a longer but lower stress program that actually let me breathe and encourage me to succeed. This is not a negative review of the program. Rather, it is a simple concise review of my experience of it; interpret the objective information for your self. Also, I am told by the current cohort you all might be forced to wear uniforms. Have fun with that.

Way to go everyone! Got mine too for Oct. 22!

@blazerbear2 I haven't heard anything further so far. I am hoping for some news soon though; Maybe today or tomorrow?

Has anyone gotten an email about interviews yet?

Hi, does anyone know if getting a save the date email guarantees an interview? Thanks everyone!

When do you all think we will begin to hear back about interviews? I have heard in the past it is around the first week of October. Good luck everyone!

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask a question: I applied before the priority deadline but received the "Not selected at this time" email. I had 4 remaining prereq's but finished two this Summer. I only have AP 2 and Nutrition left to take; I am scheduled to take both of those in the fall. I have had no shadowing or volunteer hours on my app due to working full time as a behavior therapist. Does anyone have any wisdom on the competitiveness of my app at this point? Any pointers? Thanks everyone!
