Does anyone know when we are supposed to hear back for acceptances, if you have already interviewed? (obviously...if you haven't received an early admission)

Yeah, did they call up any interviews for this week? or just the first two days? I'm just trying to game out in my head how many people they interviewed. If it's 10-12 for four sessions, that would be 40-48 people. Then I think I saw that someone on here said they had a phone interview.

So that's maybe 45-55 people interviewed for 24 spots in the class?

Figuring this out doesn't really help me, but I do really want to get in. I think that I feel better knowing that my odds are around 50% at this point.

they told us that close to 160 applicants and 60 interviews.

Nothing on my end yet either... I really want to get in as well. SMU is such a good school, and I've heard good things about them. I applied last year and didn't get in, so I'm hoping this year will be the year, but I haven't even heard from them about interviews or that they are reviewing my app. *sigh* Hopefully there's still hope!

Hi guys, I just got a call for an interview. I also applied to the ABSN program and was accepted to that. My interview is for Saturday at 9:00 am. I am so nervous, those who were accepted, what type of questions do they ask? Also if it's a group interview, how do they really get a feel for you? Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks everyone for the advice on the TEAS exam. The school said it wasn't too late to take the test but not sure since you are all already getting acceptances and interviews.... oh well guess it is worth taking anyway.

Good luck to everyone!!

One more question...are the questions that they ask directly related to your application and resume or are they general questions trying to assess your personality? I'm so nervous, please help =) I am not a good interviewer!

Yeah, at least you'll have it done. I took it last year, but it turned out that I wasn't ready to apply last year.

Hang in there, RosePetalss. I'm still waiting too, so you're definitely not alone. Still keeping my fingers crossed for us, and I'll post if I hear anything. :)
