2015RNgrad

Okc!

Yes!

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear that - if it makes you feel any better, I interviewed last year and got rejected. That interview helped me know what to expect and prepare better this time. Good luck next year!

I got in!

Yep, I already paid the deposit. If I get into Newman I'll just have to eat the loss, but it'll be less money in the end since we won't have to move and pay out of state tuition for a year.

I also have been accepted to another program but it would require my husband and me to move across country, so Newman is definitely first choice. The more I think about my interview the worse I feel, also.

I said that in addition to mu opioid receptors that there are also kappa and sigma, but it's actually kappa and delta. I also said in a second degree type 2 block that there is an increasing pr interval before it drops QRSs but there isn't. Sigh.

I feel kind of meh. I realized after the fact that a couple of my answers were wrong so I just keep thinking about them lol

Just so you know applications for TU are open now until March 1st for the August start!

Wow! What made you pick Newman all the way from South Carolina?

I was also just offered an interview via email. My last name also starts with C but I know someone whose last name starts with S that received her interview email as well.

Thank you!

If you were reapplying to a program and were interviewed the prior year but did not get in, would you acknowledge that in your personal statement? Or would you not mention it?

Thanks, guys! I did end up mentioning it and how it helped me focus on what to improve on the year since.

Thank you! For anyone else that got offered a spot, how long after your phone call did you get your email with the offer?

Got the call this evening offering me a spot in the program!! So excited!

Yeah, I get what you mean. My ears kind of did a tunnel vision thing too lol. Fingers crossed for the both of us that some of the other accepted applicants went with other schools!

Okay well at least we know there's still a chance! Although it's torture just hoping my phone will ring. Did they not tell you where you were on the list when they told you you were on it? They told me I'm second.

Has anyone else on the waitlist heard anything?

Here are mine: 3.63 overall GPA, ~3.8 science GPA, 310 GRE 2 years labor and delivery, 2 years SICU/MICU CCRN, Preceptor, some small unit committee stuff

I'm second on the alternate list so I'm keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed!?

Nope, nothing yet. The director said we'd hear within a week.

I'll be reapplying! I had an interview there last year and yes, it was very tough.

Well that gives me a shred of hope. Fingers crossed!

Well, rats. I called on Monday and they said they were still going to be reviewing applications through the end of the week. Weird.
