Starting a thread for others applying to this program!

That would make sense, I guess. I think cumulative would still be important but not as much since it would include non-prerequisite courses needed for gen Ed requirements.

That's what I'm thinking but I could be wrong. My overall is only 3.64 so I hope that's good enough -__-

I wonder how they'll calculate the interview in with the gpa and teas and how it'll be weighted.

[Katsmeow]

I know they score us on like 13 different things during the interview (which was discussed on the accelerated forum)

[Steviekate]

13? wow. I guess I missed that list. Do you remember where?

[Katsmeow]

"That's what our group was told at the beginning. We were getting scored on 13 things during the interview. I had a regular scantron to give them." quote from member alisono.tru

I couldn't reply with the quote on my phone so I copied and pasted it. Apparently they hand us each 3 scantrons where we wrote our name and applicant number and they use it to score us. Then add that in with teas and gpa to determine who makes it in.

Well, Friday can't get here soon enough! I hope we all make it in! Let yourselves relax a little, just do some math. So they're gonna interview about 200 people. Of that probably 10% just won't show for one reason or another. That takes us down to 180. Another 10% won't fit the criteria at all, like won't be able to speak English well enough or won't realize that there's bodies and fluids involved, so that takes us down to 160. They'll take 120, and I feel like they'll be able to get a pretty good sense of at least another 10% who they just feel like will drop if given the chance. So that really leaves us with odds of 120 out of 140, or an 85% chance that we'll get in. Not too shabby.

@steviekate

Thanks for all the positive thinking, I can really use it lol

Do you think most of the applicants are younger or older?

Hello! Joining a bit late here. Discovered allnurses a couple of days ago and it's help immensely in calming down my worries about the upcoming interview. I've read that many are wearing slacks and suits, I'm wearing a....dress but keeping it very professional. It was easier than finding an appropriate blouse for a skirt since everything in stores seems to be sheer. I wish everyone good luck on the interviews!!

@pinkygal

Best of luck to you too!!

[BrihtneeY]

My prereq is a 4.0 too, so I'm wondering on stats as well! I am uncomfortable in the suit too but I will still dress professionally.. No tshirts or flip flops for me lol. One more day, good luck to us!!
