Hello everyone - this is my second time applying. A month ago, I bombed the interview!
If this is your first time applying, there's a world of information from previous years, especially from the 2012 thread where we reached more than one thousand messages.
I know it's super early to start this thread, but this whole thing takes a long time to prepare and the more time we have before the deadline, the better.
I'm from the Seattle area, my background is Microbiology from the UW and I am again applying for the midwifery track.
they are really running out of time, aren't they? They really try to give us 2 weeks to prepare and also to schedule all the interviews but I guess things are complicated this year on their end. Hopefully that does not mean that the number of applicants was ridiculously higher than the previous years.. oh well, I can bet they are working this weekend to finish this off as soon as possible.
Hi everyone. I am glad I came across this forum. I've been checking my blackberry every hour, and so far, no word from Seattle. If they do not want to interview you, do you also hear from them? I live on the East Coast, and if they want to interview me, I was planning to fly out. And flight costs are upticking by the day. I'm so on edge that I'm starting to be a little snappy. I've got to cut that out. If I hear something, I will send an update. It's good to feel a sense of solidarity. I wish everyone luck.
If they don't want to interview you, they you send you a regular letter, not email. BUT, the status page will also change to "your decision has been mailed". You can interview via phone too if you prefer!
Typically, I am a quite relaxed person - one who tends to "go with the flow." This is most likely from my upbringing in the islands; however, this waiting is rough. I know I've said it before, but I will say it again. *grumble grumble
I have just decided what will make me relax a bit... a glass of red wine.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow everyone! The interview dates are coming quickly so they can't hold out too much longer.
I agree... I'm checking my email every 15 mins. I'm heading in to work soon, so maybe that should keep my mind off of this at least until tonight. Hang in there, guys!
I am new to this board, but applied to the FNP track. I, too, am anxiously waiting to hear about interviews.
Regarding financial aid though, do any of you know the cost of attending for the first year? And how generous they are with financial aid? i am worried about finding a way to finance this even if I got in. I applied to several other programs, and some are as high as 75k per year!! I am hoping SU might be a little more reasonable....
*Edit: I just saw on their website the cost is ~70-72k. But it was a bit unclear to me whether this is for the whole program, or yearly tuition only. Does anyone know this? Are any of you as worried about tuition as I am?
Hi Vivealegre, I believe the cost they are quoting (I thought I read around 78K) is for the whole program. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Good luck!!
