Annnnnd, it's a new day! I'm strongly feeling that the slight delay suggests that the scholarship decision and the admission decision will be issued simultaneously. I know I would prefer that. Anyway, good luck, everybody! May we not lose our mind...

You're so sweet! Oh my gosh, I do hope we both get in because we would have A BLAST! Oh, that would be so great! It's 1:22 am. I'm a hot mess commenting on student papers, and I'm STILL checking the forum as well! Ha.

I wouldn't give up just yet. These situations can linger past business hours because faculty aren't available during the day. I'm sorry about that deposit situation. It seems like there should be a more centralized time frame for nursing schools to ...

Oh, that's so tough! It seems like Georgetown notifies much later than most nursing schools.

I think the department monitors our e-mail activity as a criterion for making admission decisions. If we check our e-mail more than 10 times in three hours, we're classified as neurotic and automatically rejected. After all, WHC doesn't have a psy...

Ha ha. I actually didn't notice the "caking" error, which confirms that I am due for a career change. I keep checking my e-mail, too. My guess is that they would e-mail decisions later on in the day or after business hours. That reduces phone cal...

Ha. I'm trying to manage through individual student conferences right now, and I have a grading all-nighter ahead. If I get bad news, I hope it's not today. But, if you don't get in, I will lose all faith in humanity. You are a superb candidate. Fr...

Agony.

It seems like they made the decision awhile ago, and the pairing of WHC scholars with their original ranking of applicants will be the deciding factors. But, I suppose it doesn't hurt to send everyone on the admissions committee cookies and a dozen ...

Raise your hand if you are freaking out right now.

Scroll back through the discussion in this forum. We discuss the campus tour, and you'll be relieved that it's really just an info session. The interview is at WHC only (the scholarship interview). Plus, you get cupcakes! :-)

Wow! I'm so sorry for you regarding Duke! I remember you from the Duke forum. If you can't find anything closer to GT, there is the metro that goes to the Georgetown area and a free Georgetown shuttle from the train station. I live in Vienna. You...

I meant Ersoch! Erloch sounds like a creature one would find in the ocean! Ha. And yes, I would LOVE to be in the same cohort as you!!! Do come back here and let me know what news you get, and I will do the same. I will likely wait for both dec...

Great advice! Also, I highly recommend that future interviewees look at the Washington Medical Center's website, particularly the nursing employment section. They list specializations and values that they hold. Although they don't tour these areas...

Ersoch! I don't want to reveal your identity, but you are the kind soul who gave me a ride? Is my memory still intact? How did your interview go? You were AMAZING. Animated, passionate, etc. I would cry if you didn't get the scholarship. That h...

Hey, Everyone, if you have yet to do the info session, it's a great experience. It truly is an informational day -- no high-stress scrutiny or interviews. The program is fantastic! My biggest advice is to make sure you eat something before you get ...

Thanks, zoklaw! Ha ha ha. You are so right. We'll look for the nervous, wandering people.

Does anyone know where exactly we are supposed to meet for the April 5 Georgetown information session?

Also, Saturday metro trains leave later, so it might be tough to get to the scholarship interview day on time unless you are already close to the location.

Anyone taking the Vienna metro to Georgetown on Friday?

If anyone wants to take the train to Georgetown for the information day, it looks like there are Georgetown shuttles from the train station. Check out Georgetown Transportation for more info.

I agree. I wouldn't think they would want to have so many applicants for scholarship interviews if they planned on cutting two thirds anyway. But, either way, I'm excited to meet everyone!

Thanks, eliz! That was very helpful!

In the past, students found out pretty quickly after the two-day session. Some in just a few days. That's all I've found out from other threads so far.

I read another thread that stated they accept 1/3 of the people they invite. That seems low to me, though. The most recent cohort stated that there was no interview for the Georgetown info session, but they watch you closely all day long and take no...
