Congratulations on you Acceptance... Yaaaayyyyyyy!!!! :yeah:

I wanted to know if you cared to share info on your test scores and the admissions process. What was the interview like? I received my interview appointment today and I am very nervous.

Thank You and Good Luck

Hi!

I got a 100 on the English section, and a 97 on Math.. crazy, I know.

I was kind of nervous for my interview as well but it wasn't really bad. I went into the room and there were 4 administrators there; they asked questions about my working situation and home situation because they wanted to make sure I had the time to commit and be successful in the program. I was in and out of the building in 15 minutes. About 2 weeks later I received a letter saying I had been accepted, along with orientation information for May.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for your response Stephanieee. I definitely feel better and I am excited for my interview.

When is your interview?

ArmstrongLPN · Apr 20, 2010

April 30th

Stephanieee · Apr 20, 2010

Well I hope it goes well for you. Did you apply anywhere else or is this the school you want to go to if you are accepted? What is your name / where are you from? :)

ArmstrongLPN · Apr 20, 2010

I've applied to other schools as well. In fact today I too the Teas at Putnam Northern Westchester Boces. The science area was very difficult for me. I also applied to Southern Westchester Boces and I take that test in May. I'm coming from Northern Yonkers and I drive but I'm idealy would like to go to a school near transportation just in case. I have some other schools in mind but I'm applying slowly to ease the damage on my pockets. Are you looking into other schools as well?

Stephanieee · Apr 20, 2010

Yeah the application and testing fees are ridiculous. I was interested in Southern Westchester BOCES as well but I didn't apply. May sounds very late for testing, doesn't it? I know I have to decide what school I will be attending by May 21st because that is the orientation for Rockland BOCES and the money you have to pay on that day is non-refundable. :down:

Hi Stephanieee, Had my interview on Friday :confused:

I felt good after I left the interview. As you said it was relatively short. She said my test scores were good and the timing was good and the fact that I have previous care experience is a plus. Im just a bit worried because she didn't ask for references. Im just curious did she ask for your references. I hope I get in, Ive applied to other schools but this would be the best option so far. Did you make our school choice yet?

Stephanieee · May 3, 2010

Hi! Yes, I think I'm going to attend this school. When I got my acceptance letter in the mail it had a piece of paper for I believe 3 or 4 personal references, but it said I could just bring it to orientation. Sounds weird, right? Bringing your references to orientation when you've already been accepted.. Oh well, whatever they want lol. It took me about 3 1/2 - 4 weeks to get my acceptance letter even though they told me approximately 2 weeks. Orientation is May 28 so I'm guessing you will be hearing from them very soon!
