Umass Worcester fall 2018 GEP

Published

Hi,

I applied in September for the GEP/FNP program I wanted to know if anyone got an interview yet?

Congrats on a great interview! I interviewed yesterday as well and it was the same standard questions. I was also asked for examples of leadership and a time when I stood up for someone else. Overall I think it went well!

Did you hear when they will release admission decisions for the people who interviewed yesterday?

She said that they do board meetings every Thursday so maybe next Friday at the fastest. That's what I'm hoping for!

I also had my interview with Jill yesterday.

All standard questions:

Tell me about yourself....always dread this one

Why do you want be a nurse (FNP)/why not just nurse?

Why now?

What skills do you currently posses that will help in the program?

Tell me about a time when you were a leader/do you see yourself as a leader?

Why UMass/Massachusetts?

Do you have a plan B?

Have you applied to other schools/programs?

Tell me about a difficult situation you've had to deal with in the past and what did you learn from it?

Academically, how have you dealt with not getting the grades you've wanted and what did you learn?

Where do you see yourself 5 years after graduating?

What resources will you have coming into the program? (I had to ask if she meant financially or supportwise)

Situational Scenario - you're at busy at work, stressed and overwhelmed and your boss gives you more work, how would you handle the situation?I

I think this covers the majority of them. I had also planned on setting my phone next to me to record but they called me 10 minutes earlier than scheduled and they threw me off my game plan.

Jill was great to talk to and we had a couple of laughs during the interview - I hope thats a good sign.

We also spoke for over 40 mins...I have no idea how long the interview was supposed to last.

She did say she'd be presenting the students to the board/committee on Jan 18 and (if there isnt some winter storm) we'd hear back from Diane by Monday Jan 22, 2018.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

Has anyone that interviewed recently hear from the school at all? Also do you know if they only call people that have been accepted or do they call waitlisted and rejected applicants as well?

Haven't heard anything yet. I think they call whether you are rejected or accepted

I received my rejection letter in the mail about a week ago, even though I had called them earlier that day, they did not inform me of my decision status.
