Hi there! I received an interview invitation and will be interviewing on the 15th! I am very excited and nervous! I will be attending the First Look event on September 6. Is anyone else going to the First look? Also, does anyone have any advice for the interview??! Good Luck! Meshi

Thanks phoenoryker. I will definitely contact Nursingcas. Every time I recalculate my GPA I still get a diff GPA than theirs. I hope Elmhurst thinks my background it solid as well! I appreciate your feedback =-)

phoenoryker kudos to you for continuing your education! I know its hard after kids and you have two! Eventually, I want to go into Nurse Supervisor/Administration role or health management after some years of being a nurse. However, I am also contemplating on furthering my education into a doctorate program but would need to do a little more research on that and some hands on clinical experience to know what specialty I would like to go into. I looked at Olivet as well after the birth of my daughter. At that time, I had little options of programs that were a little more flexible (hybrid format) and close in vicinity. One I found out about Elmhurst, i decided to purse a Masters instead versus doing another Bachelors. What caught my eye was that Elmhurst's program also has a clinical leadership track which would help me reach my goal in health administration/management. My stats: Overall GPA 3.45 and Science GPA is at 3.8. However NursingCAS calculations states GPA as lower (overall at 3.29 and science at 3.4 or 3.5). This is because I had Withdrawals and they still count those (0.00) in the GPA calculation for some reason and it brought it down. I also Volunteer at a non profit Medical clinic every week for 6 hours and have several hours of Nurse shadowing experience in NICU and Cardio/stress department at a large hospital in Milwaukee that I drive up to a couple of times a month. Overall, I wish my GPA was higher but I managed full time school and a full time job during my bachelors and took pre-requisites for Nursing throughout my whole pregnancy.

Thank you so much for your feedback phoenoryker and congrats on your admittance! I am glad that they look at candidates holistically. What worries me is that they are only accepting 16 out of probably a couple hundred, I am assuming. I am crossing my fingers and am hoping for an interview. I appreciate your advice for the interview as well. Elmhurst would be most ideal for me based on what the program offers and like you mentioned, it is one of the few schools that offers an MSN in Illinois. Kind Regards, Meshi

Hi, I also applied to the NME fall cohort program at Elmhurst. They recently extended their admissions deadline to March 1. My application was verified by Nursingcas feb 28. I have not heard back from the school yet. Has anyone else? Those who were accepted already, how did your interview go? And anyone doesn't mind sharing their stats, please do so! Thanks so much.

Yes anyone? Theres not a lot of info on the program on the web since its a new program. Any info on the admissions and interview process would be so useful!

Hi, I also applied to the NME fall cohort program at Elmhurst. They recently extended their admissions deadline to March 1. It looks like now they extended it even further to April? My application was verified by Nursingcas feb 28. I have not heard back from the school yet. Has anyone else? Those who were accepted already, how did your interview go? And anyone doesn't mind sharing their stats, please do so! Thanks so much.
