Not me checking the portal twice a day just to continue seeing "Awaiting decision".? this waiting game is for the birds. It's taking over my dream space too..had a dream I got in but my clinical site was not ideal LOL.
If they are done with interviews then we should be in the home stretch!! Good luck everyone!

My portal still says that they're setting it up which hasn't changed since I applied so it's no help to me LOL.

? you're lucky that's what it shows up in your portal, mine is still thanking me for applying through nursingcas LOL
I know the wait is tough, but I wouldn't be holding your breath waiting for a response today/tomorrow. I asked for a little more depth on the process at the end of my interview. They said once all interviews are done, they then later have scheduled meetings to rank all candidates from 1-250 (or however many ended up actually interviewing). They then start filling the slots based on rank, into the preferences listed.
I suppose if all metrics they use for ranking candidates are on an objective points-based system (including the interview), they could theoretically keep a running list as interviews progress so that by the end of the final interviews, the list is pretty much already created. From there, they could theoretically extend acceptances to everyone who is getting their top preference facility based on rank.
Even if the ranking of candidates is fully objective, they made it sound like they still have several meetings to really discuss where to place individuals once they reach the point that offerees are not getting their top picks, and especially those who are not getting placed at a facility on their preference list at all. They said it's not completely random at that stage--they do put in time and effort to thoughtfully discuss where candidates will be place. For those who don't get their top facility, or any of the facilities on their preference list, they said they try to be reasonable and take a look at the individuals interview and personal situation/life circumstances/preferences into account for best fit.
For example, the other girl I interviewed with, she has a school-aged daughter and she noted that if she didn't get her top 5, that at minimum she would like to stay in DFW if at all possible so she doesn't have to move her schools, though still said she would go anywhere if it meant a seat in the program vs. not. I was similar in my response. My husband and I bought a house in the relatively recent past, and prefer not to be put into a situation that requires us to consider renting or selling if we had to move out of DFW temporarily, but also said I would go anywhere, with my preference to stay as close to DFW as possible if my rank wasn't good enough to buy me a DFW clinical site (I.e., if I don't get a spot in DFW, my next preference would be UT Tyler or United Regional in Wichita Falls...then Ascension Seton in Austin...then Lubbock, and so on). They appeared to small notes of those types of preferences and mentioned they do their best to offer spots that align with the candidate as best as they could, even if it's outside their preference list.
All that being said, that process does take time. They could theoretically immediately send offers out to the top ranked individuals first before sorting out those who need more discussion amongst the admissions committee. But you can imagine how everyone would arguably become even more anxious and impatient if word got out (through online forums such as this, or otherwise) that some already received offers, while a bunch of others were still waiting for decisions. The admissions office would probably be flooded with emails and calls of "I heard ____ received an offer, but I haven't yet...when will I hear anything?". For that reason, I feel like they might wait until they are ready to send them all out.
That's just my non-professional hypothesis at least, as someone who has never worked in admissions. ??
If I had to guess, it'd be end of next week at the very earliest before any decisions were to be sent out. But maybe we'll (/some of us?) get lucky and hear sooner!

Very good analysis. Even though we are nervous, we just need to wait until the process is done. At least we have the link now and we can see if they will accept us.

Do you know what the point system consists of exactly?
