Hi all,

Applications are due just around the corner, and I was just wondering if anyone else has started the application process yet.

It would be good to hear back from others who are going through the same process!

No!!!! I'm still so stressed about it!!! Everyone did great so it must be an extremely hard decision for them. Good luck and let us know if anyone hears anything!!

Good luck to all of you. I went to SM for my BSN and loved it. It's a great school and very supportive of its students...once they get in that is.

I was in the group interview today and I just wanted to let everyone still waiting know that we were told that today was the last set of interviews, I'm really sorry. The lady interviewing us told us decisions would be made within the next 2 weeks. Also I submitted my application back in September. I did not get a single email or anything saying that they received my application or that it was complete. The only time I heard anything was last Monday when they called me in to interview me. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong. I know how difficult the wait can be and I wanted everyone to know what I heard from them today. Good luck!

did anyone hear anything today?? I thought they may be calling people? im just very anxious!

sigh.... I wish I could be anxious. I got so nervous, I did TERRIBLE.... I wish I could do the interview over again. I highly doubt that I made it through this round... Booo.... =(

Good luck to everyone who did the interview!!

Hi gohs,

I was in 11am interview yesterday. what time was yours?

Oh my, I was so nervous I did horrendous... I still can't get over how badly I did!!

How did you feel about the interview? I wonder what they were really looking for in the applicants at the interview..?

Thanks so much for the info, and good luck to you! :)

i was in the 9am and am dying to know what they were looking for also

i have a friend in the program and she says everything is done on a points system and the interview is worth 20 out of 80, everything else being gpa, teas, etc.

So 80 total and 20 is interview, 60 is everything else?

Wow, thanks for the information. Congrats to those who got interviews. Does anyone know if there is someone we can talk to about what they didn't like about our application for those of us who didn't get interviews? I would also be great to know some of your backgrounds that got into the program.

I had above all the minimum requirements (3.5 GPA in biology, good TEAS scores, etc.) plus health care volunteer work abroad and domestically along with several years of paid work in hospital settings. Maybe I'm missing something though. I don't know a second language fluently and I'm currently taking four prerequisite courses. Those are the only things I can think of that would potentially hold me back. They must be pretty particular. I hate to say it but this is pretty discouraging for me.

Again, congrats on even getting an interview! Best wishes and good luck.

Hi! I was in the 9 am. I really think I did horribly too. I felt like I didnt get to say about 90% of the things I wanted to say and talk about. Has anyone heard any news good or bad from them? I'm dying to know if anyone was called and accepted on saturday!! I wouldnt let my phone out of my sight all weekend hahaha
