How were you even excited about the SATAs? LOL I nearly freaked bc I felt that I kept answering them wrong. I got them all back to back. Looking back at it, I guess its a good thing. But at the moment, you feel as if you're just doing poorly, at least that's how I felt. @ TCASII - I had the opposite. I wished I had OB/Ped questions! I had a lot of pharm, endocrine, respiratory & cardio. After 75 questions, my computer turned off. I freaked out.

LOL. I wish I had your exam! Mine was brutal. I had 15+SATAs (I stopped counting after awhile), majority of these were on meds. =( 5-priority. 2 room questions. 1 EKG. No drag and drop. No audio. No hot spot. No math. questions. We'll see tomorrow if i passed or not. * crosses fingers*

is saunder's really that good?

I don't know if I trust them in the books they suggest. Was it me or the review book for the entrance exam no help? lols But thanks Eliu! Btw, you're a moderator now. Have fun! =)

yes. i believe she took the test oct 9. and she was called to schedule an interview late last week. As for me, I've was accepted into the program last month.

interviews are still going on. I know someone who had one today. Don't worry. =)

just arrive 15 mins before the scheduled exam, and you'll be fine. they just check your ID as you enter the examination room. once you go in, you'll be filling out your scantron. Nope. No finger prints. lols

to babybbue: I'm sure that the gpa doesn't really matter as much, however it does have a factor in the admissions process. You MUST have at least an overall 2.5 in order to be considered, and then you have to do well on the DET. After that, when they call you in for an interview, that is when they look at your grades. If you took a&p more than once, they will only count the one that is a grade of C or better. So you don't have to worry about that. As long as you have over a 2.5 you shouldnt have to worry.

to babybbue - yes, I did do better the second time. joypierre- http://www.stpaulsschoolofnursing.com/ . & i don't know about the waiting list.

queens. Where are you going to? =)

I believe your overall still has to be a 2.5 (or whatever it said on the sheet). However, in terms of your grades for the pre-reqs (a&p1, a&p2, micro, etc), I don't think it matters. Because if you didn't receive a grade of C or better on those courses, you will be given the opportunity to take it again when in the SPSON program. I believe the test is the school's way of giving students another chance. Meaning, sometimes there are family/personal matters factors that were the reason why you didn't get an A in a course. So the test is another way for the school to measure your performance, instead of basing it 100% on previous courses. Therefore, I wouldn't exactly say that it "counts more than your actual grades", it is just what they look at first, and THEN they look at your grades.

yeah, haha. How did you guess? jk Did i talk to you during the sept 4 exam? I guess it doesn't matter now. are you excited? i want the information packet now, so that i know where to buy the textbooks, etc.

im pretty sure more acceptances were given out. Maybe some people just declined the offer. Or they're just sending their deposit instead. What's your name? (not to sound stalkerish or anything lol)

Sorry to those who PM me. I'm new to this forum, so I haven't been given the privilege to PM others. Apparently you have to post at least 15 posts in order to be given access to PM. -.- Ok to clarify what i wrote in the previous posts & to answer the msgs I got: - the time line from my entrance exam to my acceptance was pretty much the same as AP726. I took the test 9/4. Got a call on 9/11 and went in for the interview on the same day. I got my letter on 9/17. - Your test results take a little less than a week for them to get. B/c I got my exam scores in the mail exactly a week after I took it. - They call you to schedule an interview after they reviewed your test results. - The school interviews the applicant and then talks about you in the admissions board. The admissions board has weekly meetings to discuss those that they interviewed. (I asked the person who interviewed me.) - I had said that there are 38/40 spots left. I meant that there are 2 students who have accepted the seat for the Spring 2010 semester (they paid the deposit). It doesn't mean that only 2 letters of acceptance were sent. - Please keep in mind that this is only my experience of the process. It doesn't mean that this IS the only way the process is done. If you have more questions, and you've already taking their entrance exam, the best advice that I can give is for you to contact the school personally. They will be able to help you more. Also, if you already have your examination results, you can call them to discuss it. I hope this helps. Sorry for spamming everyone, as well as writing a LONG msg.

You know yourself better than anyone else. So where ever you think you are weak, just work on that. Haha- I feel as though I'm giving you contradicting advice. =P
