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).

Have we heard from backbird singing?

I was given a business card from one of them saying to email if I had any questions. They told me to study up on Spanish if I want to join a study abroad program, said "nice meeting you".. nothing special. BUT I went back to drop off a thank you note, and that led to kind of a terrible experience. It was after hours because I didn't want to see anyone, I just wanted to drop the letter off to save postage, but one of the profs was in her office. She said tyvm, was so nice meeting you the other day, good luck, there are so many wonderful applicants, "I hope applicants applied far and wide," if you don't get in at first, try again next year :uhoh3: but... that's bc she HAS to say that, right?! ayy... also I would not recommend going back and reading the thread from last year bc it will just psyche you out. sigh!

Lenin, I believe they said something similar to me. That not everyone gets in on their first try and to not give up if it was something they really wanted. My heart hurts.

Me too NursePrac. I hope that we can soon look back and laugh about all of this.

Don't you two feel discouraged about this - they probably didn't say that to me because we were running late. Or maybe she did and I can't remember. But last year they said the same thing to applicants who got in without even being waitlisted. At the same time, I am hopeful because they were also very nervous in their interviews and a lot of them got in from the waitlist as well. So I am just trying to hang in there.

Me too. I don't know how religious anyone is in here but my friend shared this with me today: Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I hope that brings comfort to some of you as it did for me.

Thank you NursePrac. I am not religious but it did bring me comfort.

Funny thing is I'm not religious either ;)

Lenin, sounds to me like what the professor told you was an expression of individual hope and not a reflection about how the institution at large feels about your application. It sounds like what she was saying when she unexpectedly ran into you is "I really liked you as a candidate. Although I don't have all of the decision-making power I liked you a lot and hope that even if you don't get accepted this year you will reapply for the program again. Because you seem like a great fit."

I think it was actually a very positive interaction, and hey at least you got more face-time with the faculty :-)

NursePrac that verse is very comforting right now, thanks for posting.

wow, it seemed really encouraging at first to be selected for an interview..how many of us are there?

it kind of seems a little discouraging to hear something along the lines of, "if at first you don't succeed, try again" (of course, usually that's motivational) i just wish everyone that had an interview could get in too. sigh

Calinca, she also mentioned that there were 50 applicants being interviewed for CNM
