Nikki - I am absolutely the worst person to ask about directions, but I think there was only one nursing school building, so if you can find that you are golden. There are signs pointing you to where...
aspire2inspire - Breakfast was continental. Coffee, bagels, fruit, muffins, yogurt. Lunch was boxed lunches containing a sandwich, chips, and cookie. They also had lots of bottled water. There was...
Hey all. Sorry I didn't post anything helpful about the interview yet - but it seems like all the other posters covered it. I started school again right after I got back into town, and things have...
Hi all. Well hold on to your hats because it is super competitive this year. Acceptances will be first round and second round of and first round is only 80 yes' from 164 interviews and second round is...
Thanks for the good vibes. :) They are much appreciated! I fly out tomorrow, and I'll be staying at the Millennium, if anyone wants to chat. I'll have my handy dandy internet phone, so I can respond...
Heads up chicos/chicas. I was looking at the scholarship page and it seems that most scholarship essays are due Feb 5th. Has anyone gotten additional info on the interviews yet? I fly out to Durham...
Happy New Year to you all! I am looking forward to us all having a very happy 2011! Occenia - I don't think they look down on phone interviews. Don't worry! They know that people who live far away...
Wait a minute, am I your running partner? haha. That sounds just like me. At my last half I tripped over a mile marker, bloodied up my hands, arms, and knees, and ripped my brand new CW-X tights to...
ArkansasRunner- hi there! I haven't decided what to wear yet. I have a suit, but I think I'll feel more comfortable if I just wear nice pants and a nice cardigan or something. I don't want to look...
Amanda - looks like we're at the same hotel and same interview date. I'm sure we'll recognize each other unless we were both being secretly clever with our user names.
Thanks for the info Marann. I guess they didn't do automatic interview qualifiers this go-round? I'm glad I didn't have this information when we were waiting for interview invitations or I would...
Hey Sbl29 - I just sent you a PM, but I wanted to also ask if you had called Duke and made sure there wasn't a mistake. If your stats were up there, it seems like you should've gotten an automatic...
VandyMeg - I am pretty sure you can still apply to Vanderbilt. They don't close applications, they just make everyone who applied by Dec 1st "priority". Nikki - I am very interested in the MSN...
Thanks for the great info Nikki. Are you currently a student or working? I would love to be able to manage without a car. To be honest, the cold weather doesn't scare me, but driving in rain and...
I think someone should call and do a little prying. Anyone have an excuse? BTW - are we all ladies on the thread or do we have some gentlemen among us? I'd love to know a little more about...
Vandymeg - Heck yes! I am extremely excited (and nervous) as well! Happy Birthday! :hbsmiley: If you graduated in '06 is this birthday the big 2-7? I'll be 27 in June, but I made an announcement...
Aspire- that's a good thought but I don't think ill take one over the summer. I feel like medical terminology will just be picked up along the way unless we are specifically told to take a course....
Thanks Spring and Oaktown. I just talked to Duke. They said that taking the recommended courses doesn't influence admissions at all. Hope that helps anyone else who may be in the same
Hello fellow applicants/worrywarts Does anyone know what the deal is with the recommended pre-req classes? I have to sign up for next semesters classes today, and it's going to be really hard for me...
Hey All - I think the reason this thread is so quiet is because there is a similar one going on elsewhere. It's called "Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011". Maybe some questions could get answered...
