Thanks Terry! Congrats, btw =)

I'm in! Got the call on April 7 that I was accepted into the GEP/Adult Primary specialty as well. I haven't gotten my official letter yet though. I'm told it was mailed out April 13, so any day now! What's going on on June 20? Any other interesting info included with the letter? :) So psyched! Can't wait to meet you all this summer!

Hi everyone - good luck to those still waiting for a decision! I applied in January just received a phone call today to interview this Thursday for the GEP Adult Primary Care specialty. The interesting thing is, I had originally applied to the Family speciality, and the woman I spoke to said all of those spots were filled, but if I liked, I could be considered for Adult Primary Care. Of course, I said yes (the reason I applied to Family in the first place was my interest in Primary Care). Strange that she mentioned this actually because the only specialty options on the application were Adult Gerontology/Acute, Adult Gerontology Primary Care, Nurse Educator, and Family. She did mention that the Adult Primary Care track is pretty much the same as Family except rather than serving birth and forward it serves adolescents and forward. For those who've already been accepted for this Fall - congrats! Can you please share what were your interviews like? Who did you interview with and what questions were you asked? Anyone accepted to the Adult Primary Care specialty so far? Thanks! :)

Great points, CrufflerJJ. Thanks!

I got my bachelor's in bio in 2008 and am now applying to direct-entry MSN programs. Through connections I recently gained an opportunity to meet the dean of one of the nursing schools I'm applying to! The appointment is in a few weeks. It's not an "official" interview, although I assume I should treat it like one, as this could be my one shot in gaining an edge in my application. Any advice on how I can prepare / what I should ask the dean, etc. in order to make this meeting beneficial to my candidacy? What do you think she will ask me? Should I bring anything (even though I'll submit my transcript, resume, etc. with my official application)? Thanks everyone.
