UNF Summer 2016

I liked it too. I know how you feel though about being younger. I am also just finishing my AA and I am only 19. I also wish the workshop was a little later, but I feel it helped calm me down a lot because now I have a better idea of what to expect. I honestly have been preparing by reading up about interviews and going over potential questions they might ask and thinking about how I would answer them. I don't want to sound to scripted but I feel I will do better if I have a template of potential answers in my mind (if that makes sense lol). I didn't hear any other stats from people but I know my TEAS is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum (319 i think) but the students were saying that once you get to the interview the focus goes mostly to that.

I'm going in with kinda a template as well. But also making sure not to sound scripted

Emy2016 · Mar 5, 2016

Yes! You explained it perfectly! I don't want to sound scripted but I want to be prepared to answer a variety of questions. I feel that a lot of this interview revolves around your confidence when answering question and being detailed in your responses but not babbeling on and on... Also, I heard that we should know by like 5 pm on Friday if we got in, waitlisted, or denied from mywings application status, even though emails don't come out until Monday morning.

Also, I am applying for RPL if you haven't noticed. lol I feel at a disadvantage because APL has two chances to get in. Then again, I just want to be in the top 72! I really hope less people are there because they decided to go somewhere else lol

Hey guys!!! I applied (and went through your feelings) two years ago!! Don't feel disadvantaged, because you are not!! You are doing ALL of the right things! You went to the workshops! You nailed that spot for an interview and you guys are ranked based on Interview, TEAS, GPA THEN on which program you want to get into. You may nail that interview better than those with previous degrees and rank higher on the list than them - guaranteeing you a spot. The only difference is that the top 36 people eligible for APL are offered APL vs. RPL. That's all! There is a list with 1 - 72 on it. 36 of those people who are eligible for APL will be offered APL depending on where they are on the list. The rest will be offered RPL. Your goal is to make it on that list (or waitlist). Don't be nervous!!! You've got this!! Also - if you have any questions at all email the students! They are so so helpful and will totally allay all of your fears.

Hello! I saw your posts on a previous thread :) Didn't you get waitlisted? Sorry to be so blunt. Also, did you get a call back??? :))))

HellooNurseRN, BSN · Mar 6, 2016

Yes and yes! Waitlist at this school is not a bad thing!! The majority of my cohort were from waitlist

Emy2016 · Mar 7, 2016

Wow. Well, That does make me feel better about it. I already was planning to cry if I was denied or waitlisted. lol How long did you have to wait before you heard anything back?

HellooNurseRN, BSN · Mar 8, 2016

A couple of weeks :) She was on vacation after decisions were emailed!

Emy2016 · Mar 8, 2016

oh ok! Yeah our decisions are made at the start of spring break. So hopefully, I just get admitted lol Do you have an interview tips? Things that you felt would have improved your interview score? How was your TEAS in relation?

Hello all. I was also invited to interview. My time slot is 9:30. This is actually my 2nd time interviewing. I am so eager to get a 2nd chance and hope to nail it this time around. I look forward to seeing you all there. Good luck!

vikea · Mar 8, 2016

I'm at 930 as well. Do you have any insight you would like to share about the interview you had before
