Rhode Island alternates

I will be applying to memorial this summer. Have you been acceoted to the school. If so how was the interview?

I am listed as an alternate . If you know what that means ? Basically if someone would have not accepted their spot an alternate gets it, kinda like runner up. The school told me unofficially that alternates make up a part of the next class .

As for the interview- excellent- standard ?'s tell us about your hospital, your prep's for school, educational experiences, money planning etc. NO clinical questions The interviewers told me that they have the mindset of teaching whatyou need to learn not expecting you to know everything. Tour of the OR time with the current seniors in OR etc. about 2 hrs or so

Very nice people excellent attitudes toward teaching, I think you'll like it.

Might see you there.Oh and if you get alternate you don't interview again you're in the next pick if you just send a letter saying please consider me again. good luck easy to find and VERY close to providence.

Those are some comforting words. I've been nervous about the interview. Do you know how mant people they accept in each class?

I can't remember if it's 15 or 20.

I think it was 20, sorry I can't remember.
