I'm considering MEPN application to the UofA next year. I've been in touch with the advisor, Chris Sogge, for the past 3 years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and a M.Sc. in Biology from Canada . Chris said that I need a pre-req GPA of 3.7 at least to get into the program; mine is 3.3. Do I stand any chances? Did anyone get in with lower pre-req grades? I'm trying to juggle pre-req taking with a toddler. Thanks so much for your advice!
I honestly can’t even remember my answers lol I for sure rambled, but I tried my best to not look extremely nervous and be personable. At some point one of the faculty started to yawn and I was like oh noooo...
I had a 12 interview. The last of the day. One of the interviewers was literally falling asleep. Like eyes fluttering closed and everything. I am a very animated and outgoing person... but people can only listen for so long

Yours makes more sense, them being tired and all. Mine was at 10:30 so idk, it probably wasn’t me, but it seemed like it at the moment & distracted me
Hahaha that makes me laugh that they were falling asleep. I can’t imagine trying to interview that many ramblers in such a short amount of time, my brain would literally explode ??I’m hoping it was more of a pass fail thing and you had to do REALLY bad to fail ?♀️Then all of our other scores would be what really determines if we get in or not ?. At least that’s what I’m telling myself ??? anyone want to share their stats so we have an idea what at least the 10 of us on here have got going on. I have a 4.0 prereqs 3.6 last 60 and a 93.5 hesi. I also have volunteer and professional experience that I’m assuming/ hoping they counted as medical experience ?.
PreReq and last 60 GPA 3.73 (weird they are the same)
93.5 HESI
I have 1 year as a medical scribe in the ED and 2 years as a nurses assistant on a dementia unit. Plus 6 months or so as a behavior therapist for kids with Autism.
I too am hoping the interview is just a... are they a decent person who can hold a conversation and be presentable kind of thing.

I am also hoping that interviews were just to make sure we can hold a conversation in a face to face situation and be relatively professional. But I would have burst out laughing if my interviewer started to fall asleep. ?
My stats are 3.8 prereqs, 3.6 last 60, 96.5% HESI. My biggest downfall is that I don’t have any medical experience but lots of real job experiences since I graduated with my Bachelor’s in 2009.

I am hoping for that too my stats are my prereqs 4.0 Last 60 units 3.9 HESI 91 and my work experience 3.5 years as a scribe and 6 months working at medication therapy management center
From reading the previous years, they found out the first Friday (2019) or about 9 days after the interview, on that Monday (2018). Hoping it’s the same for us!
I have some experience as a clinical trial researcher and was a dental hygienist for 7 years. I let my nerves get to me and it showed during my interview. Oh well.
