Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

[jones0651]

I am a UT Houston hopeful applying for the traditional and accelerated nursing program. I will complete my science prereqs (A&P 1/2) in the summer. I will finish up with Micro and Chem in the fall. I am so focused right now. Anyone else out there? :)

They are interviewing on Friday. I have a Friday interview.

oh wow, if @atinachow says they may have been interviewing 50 in the one day, and @ mt56 said they are interviewing fridays, that means 5 days out of the week for 7 weeks. that is quite a lot of people being interviewed. i'm even more nervous now.

[MT56]

Don't stress! I was told they received ~900 applications, and if our math is correct (which it's not), the total number of interviews would exceed the number of applicants.

If anyone could please let us know from your interviews earlier this week and today about how many people were interviewed during your time slot. This might help us figure out how many applicants were given interviews.

I'm noticing that time slots are twice a day (8am and 12pm) with several in each slot. So far they've sent letters for this week of Sept. and next week of Sept. Considering that the interview process goes on through October and decisions are usually made beginning of Nov., we might be able to do the math if we know how many was in one time frame.

Let's assume they interview the full month of Oct. Starting Sept. 13th (does anyone have a Friday interview? Maybe they skip Fridays). That puts in 7 weeks of interviews x possibly 4 days in the week x 2 time slots x ?interviewies at the time = ???

Ahhh, we all sound so nervous, don't we?! LOL. I guess it really doesn't matter what the answer is but I know that this helps us a little with all this anxiety and curiousity.

WHOA!!! That's alot of math...LMAO!!! By the looks of it, i wanna hope they are interviewing no more than 2-3 days a week, both at 8 and 12. I think the last interview date for Spring 2010 was @ the second wk of October...MAN O MAN...are we going to lose hair and nails in the next few wks...lol...

Yes it would exceed that amount. Maybe they aren't interviewing all of October ...maybe they have a few days they skip...and maybe there aren't 25 people in a slot. Hmmm... we can only help but wonder and stress. *sigh* Okay, no more analyzing from me. :sstrs:

[hereigo2011]

Anyone in the 9/16 8 am group wanna volunteer to count heads.....i'll be in the noon group...so if you see someone bobbing their head you know why...ROFLMAO!!!!...Who said anyone could relax during this time...

[hereigo2011]

Yes it would exceed that amount. Maybe they aren't interviewing all of October ...maybe they have a few days they skip...and maybe there aren't 25 people in a slot. Hmmm... we can only help but wonder and stress. *sigh* Okay, no more analyzing from me. :sstrs:

& I think TODAY was the 1st day of interviews :)

Hi,

I was wondering how the school contacted you for the interview. Was it via email, phone or thru their website?

Thanks

o man interview was rough today i was almost the last one called!! sooo much waiting

[wannabeanRN90]

I just had my interview today and it actually wasn't that bad! I got asked about 5 questions and they were pretty general. The lady who interviewed was nice. We had 45 minutes to do a questionnaire and the written sample. The worst part was waiting!!! It took forever to get called! But I feel so much better now that it's over!...

All that's left to do is wait and hope they liked me!!!

[MT56]

Okay ladies (and guys),

This probably won't help much, but I put together a spreadsheet (yes, I'm a nerd) of everyone on this forum who has received an interview. There are ~28 of us.

Here is the interview breakdown by date:

Sept 15 - 10

Sept 16 - 8

Sept 22 - 1

Sept 23 - 3

Sept 24 - 1

Sept 27 - 1

I know the numbers don't add up to 28 - that's because some people did not list their interview dates.

It's possible they are not interviewing on some dates because there are several dates where no one has listed an interview. Hope this helps ease your mind!!
