    Yes. If an app doesn't meet their benchmark for "automatic interview," it is still reviewed. Now-I'm not sure or not if that benchmark is the same as the preferred GPA and GRE that are mentioned in...

    Carolina11 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I've heard that they have a set criteria that if you meet or exceed it, you automatically get an interview. Maybe as those are filtered out, they are notified immediately. Then the others that...

    Carolina11 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    From what I've heard, interviews are relaxed. I think you talk with a few members of faculty at the same time, and they ask questions based on your essay. But I'd skim through your whole application...
