Members are discussing updates on interview decisions, waitlist statuses, and strategies for obtaining multiple letters of recommendation for nursing programs. There is also mention of accreditation for a second campus and confusion about waitlist notifications for interviews.
Just wanted to start a thread for Thomas Jefferson University CRNA DNP applicants for 2025 start. Feel free to post your timeline of application, interviews, etc. Stats welcome too! 🙂 Good luck!!

I got an email update saying my application is under review. I applied a few days before the priority deadline and this was the first I heard from them.
Applied on August 1st, waitlisted for an interview. Hoping to get lucky and get an interview! Heard from others that have interviewed that the interview felt very unorganized, and unlike in previous years, was 1 on 1 and they asked mostly questions about previous test scores such as CCRN, how long it took to take the NCLEX/how many questions you finished in. The previous assistant director has now assumed the position as the head director of the program. Not sure what other changes may ensue.

Agreed with everything you said. I interviewed 12/12, and they went alphabetical order and I was second to last, and they just seemed to be rushing through the interview and it felt very impersonal. I was waitlisted

If you don't mind me asking, what were your stats? Do you find that they were weighing more heavily on how you scored on like the CCRN? I know schools like Rutgers cares about what you scored. If so what was your score? And if I do hopefully get an interview, did you study anything specific? I hear it's mostly just emotional intelligence questions but I feel like you can even study for those! It's hard not knowing what to expect
Check your email guys. I interviewed on 12/2 and got an acceptance tonight.
Congratulations! Can you share any details of what you remember from the interview? Did you use any study tools or have any tips? What were your stats !!
Check yall portals! Got an email today around 2pm for an interview!!
That's amazing Congrats! Nothing on my end yet still says Application complete but got the email the other day that it was under review. So hoping for good news soon.
