Regis ABSN for Spring 2013 start

Published

Hi all :)

Is anyone waiting for an interview like I am?

Super nervous and could really use some tips on the interview process.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Congrats to everyone accepted, that is so great. Did I interview with any of you on the 27th? (there were a lot of people from Portland, OR there that day). Anyhow, I did not get in or even as an alternate - - and they only told us this yesterday (and not the 14th).

I am frankly shocked and dismayed because the students in my interview group really liked me and said they were sure I would get in. I really feel like my interviewers were biased against me somehow and that I got a really raw deal . . . I mean really raw. Regis was the one and only place I applied to because I liked it so much (and I expressed this over and over in my interview), and it is a real shame they didn't feel the same way about me.

Sorry we won't be classmates,

Adrienne

Hello Adrienne,

Thank you! Yes, I did attend the interview session on Friday, July 27. I am truly sorry to hear of your frustration and disappointment! Try to keep a positive outlook...You do have the option to reapply for May 2013 start date. The best of luck.

I couldn't find the FB page through your link. Is there another route to get to it?

Hey everyone, I am an alternate for the upcoming cohort. I was curious if any other alternates had heard anything/been offered a spot, or if anyone who is accepted is choosing another school. Also, for those of you who were accepted, if you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA? Mine is likely on the lower end, around a 3.3 and I think that may be the reason I'm an alternate. Thanks everyone!

Wade, good luck in getting through on the alternate list. I'd suggest staying in close communication with Regis so they're aware of your conviction. As far as their criteria for those that were accepted, I believe GPA was just one of many factors that they considered. I believe I was fortunate to be accepted on the basis of my personal statement, reference letters and interview. They didn't have an easy task in narrowing down the candidates to ninety. Best of luck to all alternates. Today is the commitment deadline, so they'll soon know how many additional openings there will be. Tom

I'm glad to know today was the deadline; I was wondering when my best chance was!

Wade, I am an alternate too! I emailed the admissions coordinator and just asked how many of us there were... there's 50. It's a little discouraging, but at least we can apply again for the next cohort (which excepts only 40-50 students instead of 96!!). I believe my GPA was working against me as well. It was a 3.4... but I have a lot of CNA experience. It's possible I was a little too nervous in my interview too- my voice was cracking haha!

Let's cross our fingers!!!

And congratulations Tominthefort!
