I interviewed at MSA a year ago. Pretty typical non-clinical interview process. You will probably be there with another candidate. They will put you is seperate rooms. One will meet with the program director or someone like that and the other will t...

So did anyone else have an interview? How did you feel it went? I had a hard time reading them.

I'll probably piss people off when I write my grades down, but here they are. I don't know the break down as to science vs. overall. My total undergrad GPA was right at 2.9. I have taken about 20-25 hours of grad classes since and have raised my over...

Had the exact same thought.

I totally agree with the last poster. I work in a CVICU/Cardiothoracic transplant unit. You can't compare trauma/sicu to CVICU when it comes to hemodynamaic monitoring. They occasionally gets swans, but cv has them all the time. I work on an 8 bed un...

I didn't get any responses in the other forum so I thought I would try you guys. I just wanted to poll people and see how many of them actually took their computer to class to takes notes. Do you think it is necessary or overkill? Give me your though...

Okay, After reading the thread I have a question for everyone. Do the majority of you in school actually use a laptop in class? Am I naive to think I can just go to class with a pen and paper and take notes the old fashioned way, by writing. Give me ...

Just wondering if any current students or students starting in May have hear anything about the waiting list. I am number 2 on the list and am hoping I don't have to wait until May of 08 to start there. The website still has summer of 06 at the top o...

anyone out there know anything about any of this.

I am in the process of taking an on-line general chem class through the university of Minnesota. You can search their web page for it. It is all self guided learning. No on-line work. You do the practice questions and mail them off to be graded. Ther...

I understand where you are coming form. I was in your boat at this time last year. I had a 2.8 something. First of all, there are programs around that accept with a 2.75. If you are willing to move I know for sure Saint Mary's in Minneapolis and Minn...

Is anyone else in my shoes? I am number 2 on the waiting list for St. Mary's in the Cities and I can't stand the wait. The good thing is I am automatically in in 2008, but if I am going to do this I would get started. The worst thing is I know there ...

So who got in/wait listed. I am number 2 on the wait list. Did Merri tell any of you that if you got wait listed you were automatically in the next year? The letter doesn't say it that way. Congrats to those that got in. I hope a couple of you decide...

bringing to top

me too.:)

I am going to apply at Mayo since I work here. I am hoping I get in at SMU next May though. If not I'm sure I'll see you in '08. Seems like a long time to wait doesn't it. Are you applying anywhere else?

I'm in Rochester, MN so the letter only had about 60 miles to travel. Got it Friday so I wouldn't be surprised if you got it today.

Had the interview today, went fairly well. Found out they have 30 in a class, but they wait list about 10 who are guaranteed a spot in the next year's class so only 20 are taken for spring of 2007 and the other 10 will start in 2008. Actually there a...

I got an interview at SMU and was wondering if anyone else did?

got my letter back. I'm going on the 24th at 10.

Sort of local. I live in Rochester, MN which is only 80 miles or so. Also hoping for the 22nd. Do you know how many interviews they grant? Good luck. Maybe I'll see you there.

Well my interview is 3 days away. Any last minute pearls of wisdom for me? I was also wondering when MSA notified you of acceptance or rejection, any one out there know?
