wanderfox · Oct 2, 2015

Hey everyone congrats on all the interviews! Please update us with how they went! Anyone else attending the info session/open house on oct 13? I still would have 1 prerequisite left to complete in the jan-may semester (chem 2). Suggestions for any good schools/professors in the area? I am not so good in chem so I WILL TAKE IT ANYWHERE that is good! or biochemistry i guess !

Any News Regarding The Interviews?

Hey everyone,

I just got my acceptance e-mail 10 minutes ago! I had my interview on Oct. 7, in a group setting with two other applicants. For your interview know why you are choosing nursing, why Jefferson, and what professional skills you have that would make you a good nurse. Wishing you all good luck and hope to see you in May!

Congrats!!! I have one this week. Was it weird to have a group interview? They asked each person the same question? Was it a laid back interview?

Thank you! It was totally weird, but the other two people interviewing for the program were super cool people and so that made it feel very comfortable. There were a series of questions that each person had to answer and then a portion of the interview where each person got a different question to answer. Don't stress too much, just dress like you should for a job interview, be confident, and most importantly be yourself.

Thank you for your tips! Who did you interview with? Nursing professors/the director of the fact program/or the admissions fact coordinator??

Good luck! I have my interview next week and am glad for the feedback! I know someone who interviewed last year who said the interviewer was very easy to talk to.

Good luck twizzi1227! How did it go!!!?

Wanderfox I saw you applied to Drexel too. How long did it take them to get back to you about being accepted?

wanderfox · Oct 14, 2015

Hi Chelseaplant, well I applied early but they wanted me to have more classes finished. So, by the time I had more courses finished (all but 2; micro and stat currently in progress) it took about a month to hear back. One day my portal changed to accepted and then I received my acceptance letter a few days after that. I am definitely leaning towards Jefferson though. However, did anyone else hear that for Jefferson the pass mark was raised to 77? That was really surprising to me. I went to the info session yesterday and they announced that. Makes me a little nervous!
