University of Minnesota Master of Nursing Applicants??

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi all! Just curious if anyone out there just submitted an application for the University of Minnesota Master of Nursing program (Fall 2014 start)? I have been taking prerequisites for this program for years, and I cannot believe the time has finally come to put my hat in the ring. The program only has a 20% acceptance rate, so who knows... But I know I worked my butt off to become a good applicant. Very nerve wracking though. Anyone else going through the same waiting game?

It's 4pm on march 7th and I still haven't heard either. I really just want to know either way so I stop thinking about it. It makes me feel better other people have not heard anything either at least!

Makes me feel better too. Given the admission statistics, at least 1 of us should have gotten an interview!

I got an e-mail at 4:10pm saying that I have an interview! So relieved!

So... How does everyone think their interviews went?

Mine went okay. I feel like chance of getting in is still 50/50 based on how the interview went. I feel like I didn't answer a few of the questions very well, but had no trouble thinking of great answers to them after the fact! Hard to access some of that when nervous. Now I'm just anxious to get the final word on whether or not I got in! Suspenseful! It would be nice to finally be done with this part of the game. If I don't get into the U, I will likely have to move out of state, possibly take more standardized tests and maybe even another prereq or two. It feels like I've already done so much.

How did it go for you?

I felt pretty positive right after the interview, but since then have been second guessing my answers. I'm doing a good job of stopping myself from obsessing, though! Wow, I can't believe it's almost time to find out.

Go with your gut - it probably went well if you had a good feeling right after. I was told by the staff we'd find out "beginning of April", is that what you heard too?

I didn't ask when we'd find out, but another woman I know who interviewed said they told her the same thing--early April. The website says one to two weeks, so I'm assuming sometime next week. I do, however, get butterflies in my stomach every time I open my email.
