For the FACT program, they are not just looking at your undergrad GPA. They will be looking at everything you have accomplished to determine whether or not you are a strong applicant (i.e. GPA in nursing pre-reqs, extracurricular activities, volunteer experience, GRE scores, evidence of strong writing ability, etc). I think the most important thing is to make sure you have a strong understanding of the nursing career and some idea as to what role you will play in nursing.
To answer an earlier question, you are not told whether you are in or out directly after the interview (at least this was my experience).
Definitely. You must keep in mind that Jefferson looks at many things, your essay, your recommendations, your interview as well as your GPA and your pre-req. grades.
Either on this forum or on a different thread, someone said they had a 3.4 and they were accepted.
Hey there- I was accepted into the FACT program today too! Very exciting indeed- especially since I won't hear from the other programs I applied to for a while. Now i can calm down...a bit :)
I've applied to two of those schools: UCSF and Columbia. We will hear in December about whether we get an interview for UCSF. This wait won't be as bad anymore though because we now know we got accepted somewhere :)
YEAH! I am running around the house doing a jiggle dance; just found out via email I have been accepted into FACT program for 2010. Congratulations to everyone else who has being accepted :yeah:Good luck to everyone still waiting!
Congratulations to all of you that have been accepted!!
I missed the first deadline (one of my reference letters didn't arrive on time) so I am hoping and waiting to hear if I get an interview! When were you guys contacted about interviews? Shortly after the deadline?
