Seattle U - APNI 2012

Published

Anyone already applying at Seattle U? Which track? I haven't finished my pre-req's, so I am probably not too competitive this year, but I am going to apply anyway. I am applying for the nurse-midwife track and my background is Microbiology (UW).

I actually e-mailed them back because I hadn't heard from them in a while and they told me an exact time. Good luck to you too!

I think the questions were consistent with what people posted here. Everyone was telling the truth. There was a 5year plan question, which surprised me, and at the end, they asked how SU could support students financially and technologically. Wasn't sure how to answer that one. I think they were asking how you'll support yourself during school. I suggested they give everyone a free iPad..hee hee. They are just tough questions, asking you to tell about how you reacted in tough situations, so I guess it's not the type of thing I could really give any advice on, besides smile and be confident. Cheers! (by the by, I am usually just called Lenin :) )

Yay calinca! Do you have a good feeling? Did the interview go over 30 minutes since the answers were long?

I know what you mean. I felt like I talked a lot, too. But this is the only chance they can get to know you, so I think long answers are a good thing.

There were some answers that I felt were good but they put me on the spot a couple times (I had to explain some bad grades and I had to explain why midwifery in more detail) so that kind of threw me off a little. I just wish I was more eloquent than I was and I forgot a lot of things and points that I wanted to make. Definitely not good for me.

Oh and they did go past the 30min it was more like 40-45. But it was a little rushed in the end.

Well that's definitely a good sign about the time. If they were writing you off, they would have kept it to 30. I mean, as confident as I may sound, I stumbled too here and there. We're not robots! :) I suppose there's not much I can say to make you feel better.. but I hope you do! Crazy that decisions will be made in less than a week.
