Hi,

Trying this again to get any additional reviews of either program. I am currently accepted into both programs, and am weighing out the pros/cons of these schools. I am from ND so any insight on either program would be great! Have to make my decision soon!

Thanks!

Hi,

I don’t know anything about Michigan, but I have heard good things about MSU graduates getting great jobs after school. I have an interview for MSU Friday Jan 10. May I ask how your interview experience was for MSU and if you don’t mind sharing you stats? Mine are 3.7 gpa. Science gpa-3.8 I just want to see how I measure up. This is close to home for me.

Hi,

Interview was very relaxed, all personal based. You got an interview (congrats!!!) - I wouldn’t worry about how you stack up against anyone. It’s just you and the interview committee, so take a deep breath and things will go great! I was expecting the worst, but it was the opposite! I only had 8 months of nursing experience in a Thoracic & Vascular ICU here at Mayo Clinic. My science GPA and overall GPA is a 3.8, 4.0 nursing GPA. So/so GRE with a 308... but during college I gained a ton of biochemistry experience doing research at UND. With all that said, I think they acknowledged my efforts, but they decide more so on if you will fit in their “family”. Good luck! You’ll rock it!

Ok, thanks a lot. I was getting nervous about answering tons of clinical questions. I think those stats are pretty awesome. You must have gotten an early interview?were there a lot of people with you to interview? Do you have any friends attending with you yet?

Don’t know anyone, but there was about 20 of us for the early interview. I believe they selected 12.. but don’t quite remember! Good luck, maybe we will be classmates!
