When do they offer interviews? Who all here applied? I applied to the Mobile Component. I am applying to 3 schools this year and UAB-Mobile is the hardest out of the three programs I am applying to.
I have a 3.53 GPA, 1030 on the GRE, 4.0 Graduate GPA with 18 hours towards my MSN, and my CCRN certification.... I should have studied for the GRE. I just woke up and took it without studying. When I apply to LSU for Fall 2010 (LSU is my reach school) I plan to actually study for the GRE!!!
So back to the topic When do they offer interviews and who all applied?
I don't think students consider the number admitted as to whether or not one should turn in an application...most students rely on the location of the campus. My point was Houston is a VERY large metropolitan so you would think they would have a large application showing...same with Duke. UAB certainly has the benefit of their satellite campuses which increase application numbers big time. I know I wouldn't have applied if it was only within Birmhingham.
I forgot to add you made a very good point. Hopefully with UAB having just 203 applicants, it will make our chances of getting in easier
Having driven in Houston I would think those nurses living in Texas might steer clear of Baylor due to the traffic!
203 is a lot better than 400! Around 3:1 Apps to accepted. Nearly doubles the odds! If they interview 2 for each slot then they cut 1 in 3 based on grades, GRE, experience, recs, etc.
Be careful looking at the Mobile numbers and think you only have a low percentage of getting in, you don't know how many people that applied will be in the Mobile pool. It could be that only 15 or 20 of those 203 are in the pool for Mobile. UAB assign people to pools based on their idea of how close you are to a particular site.
My wife applied and we are in Huntsville. Any idea how many are taken up here?
I'm not a nurse just married to one, good luck to all of you.
Does anyone have an idea of when UAB lets people know if they will have an interview?
I read some older threads on UAB and saw some people having interviews as early as November, but have also seen Huntsville candidates having interviews in early February.
I am hoping and praying my wife gets an interview...she is great in those situations; standardized tests not so much.
I was told by a friend of mine in the program that invites for interviews would go out in November, and interviews would be held in January. I am not sure if this is dependent upon which clinical component you apply to or not. Seems like a long time to wait though.
Anyone know how many people applied to the Montgomery component? This is my first year applying..and I am anxious to see how many more folks are out there. I heard that there about 20 that applied but only 10 will interview and only 5 will get in.
Hey I did some snooping... I was told that 89 applicants for the Birmingham component....25 will be accepted and the letters will go out around Thanksgiving..Hope this information helps.....

Sleepeasy---Do you have any info on the other clinical sites? Applicant # and # they accept?
thanks jbrock...I did not know that uab had added so many different clinical sites this year. I wonder when this was posted. Im still hoping to get accepted into the Montgomery component.
