I am new to the site, but just got the acceptance e-mail to University of Cincinnati for Sept '07. Wondering if anyone else out there is planning to enter this class? It would be nice to know someone before I ge there...
I have found the information here to be invaluable in my quest to get accepted to a program. Thanks to all who have posted and shared information.
Ok.....I am dying to hear the final answer from UC!!!! Today was the last of the interviews and hopefully it will be sooner than later!!! I saw that some recieved acceptance on Thanksgiving...did anyone recieve it earlier?????
This is going to be the longest week of my life!!! AHHHHH!!:bowingpur
Congratulations guys!!
Unfortunately, I didn't get in. I am so disappointed because I have worked so hard, so I would love to hear the stats of you guys that got in. Did you meet with the director at all before your interview?
Mine: 8years CC experience, last 60hrs gpa 3.8, gre 1060, CCRN, CMC certifications,PALS, grad level stats class with an A, took extra science courses to improve a bad gpa from >15yrs ago first year of college.
Any info would be appreciated!!!

There is a wealth of knowledge to be had pertaining to UC and other schools' interviews here on Allnurses. I have posted several times concerning my Fall '07 interview (i.e. pg3 of this very thread). If i had more time I would be happy to copy/paste, but as a busy first year SRNA I don't. There is also alot from the class that just finished in Dec. '07 from when they were applying/interviewing in 2003. I think it should be pretty close to the same format unless they decide to really break with tradition. You can search mine and others' posts and I think you will find alot of good info.
For those coming from out of town...you should pretty much be given first precedence for interview choice/time r/t travel arrangements if you politely ask for it and do so in a timely manner. Look into flying into Dayton (about an hour north of Cincy) and compare rates--the Cincy airport is actually across the river in northern KY and I don't consider it that close, especially if you can get alot cheaper ticket (I flew Frontier into Dayton) to Dayton--alot of Delta flights come into Cincinnati too--so check Delta. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time to park, find the hospital lobby, check in, and have some time to chill before the big interview. I don't know exactly who the 3rd year students are who will be helping herd you around and answer your questions, but I can say that as a class they are a very organized and cohesive bunch. I well remember the stress you guys are going through; I also remember the excitement when I got my acceptance. Revel in it for a little bit if you can, b/c you will be working your butts off come September LOL. Seriously, I wish you the best of luck.
