Hi Everyone, I haven't seen this thread yet and as the application date (July 1) looms closer I thought I would start one. I am interested to know who is applying, what your undergraduate degree of study was and why you are now going into nursing? I'm taking the TEAS tomorrow!!!
So I will answer my own questions; My name is Darcy, my Bachelor's degree is in gerontology. My plan is to work with the elderly, hopefully in hospice. FNP is the next logical step for me.
So I finished my interview (hey re-apps) and feel it went very well. They said there was approximately 80 people they interviewed for 24 spots. Today is the last round of interviews and they hope to send out acceptance calls/emails/letters (they are not sure how they are going to notify yet) by the end of September/beginning of October. Till then...we wait.
80 people, 24 spots..... about 30% chance of all of us getting in ! That by no mean, is not bad. haha. So excited, scared, nervous, and all those other emotions. haha.
Regardless, congrats to all of us for making it this far and receiving an interview, and good luck to everyone !
I myself is hoping to receive a nice birthday present from them soon. hahaha :) Once again, good luck to all !
Hi all! I thought all the re-applicants did a wonderful job Saturday (group 10-12). I'm sure the other groups did well too! It is very competitive, so sometimes even SUPER qualified applicants won't get in, simply because there are not enough slots... that's the hard part. Everyone in our group was extremely qualified and deserving! As JeninCa stated, we were told we would know by the end of the month or beginning of October. Good luck to everyone! Keep us posted!
Happy to hear that the interviews went well!! Now its the waiting game, but it's nice to know we all made it to this point which is an accomplishment in itself! I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking how many people were in your group? Hope everyone is relaxing after their interviews! Good news is that they have a deep waiting list too! Anyways hope everyone is having a nice weekend :))

There were 9 people in the re-applicant group. It is a huge accomplishment for all those who interviewed. Too bad there are not more spots available.
There were 8 in my group last Saturday, and I've heard there were 13 in other groups...I'm feeling pretty calm, trusting that if I'm supposed to be at SMU I will be. I've done everything to my best ability. There is nothing else to do at this point.

Good to hear the past Saturday interview went well for both of you! Unfortunately, there are just too little spots for all the qualified applicants. No matter what good luck to all of you and myself. If anyone hear anything please don't hesitate to share. It should be a great accomplishment to be congratulated for. Hope to hear good news from SMU soon. Have a wonderful week everyone!
@JeninCA- I totally agree!! Where are all of our acceptance letters :). Soon...very soon the anxiety will be over but until then I will obsessively be checking this thread!
It has been two days since my interview, and longer for most of you, why have they not accepted all of us?

That would be awesome but I doubt it. Probably this coming week. My hope is they ask me on the spot...at least that is how is happens in my dreams. :)
