XOXJEDIXOX--Don't think that being fresh out of college is a deterrent. There are MANY students they've chosen that are in the program this year straight from college. Hope my info helped you SyberianPuppy!

It did help! Thank you Samanthal!

Thanks Samanthal! It makes me feel better to know they have taken young people in the past!

And syberianpuppy, I'm glad to see I will hopefully have a young buddy in the program! **fingers crossed!** :)

guest_57352 · Apr 2, 2011

I agree xoxjedixox! I hope we both get in :)

Are you a guy or a girl?

xoxjedixox · Apr 3, 2011

I am a girl syberianpuppy! :)

Also, anyone have any word on how many people they decided to interview?

Hi all,

ABPNN candidate from the west coast, California.

I'm an applicant for Sept. 2011 as well. Just had my interview this last Tuesday.

I've been poking around on this site for awhile now, and finally have something to post about! :)

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and see how the other Fall 2011 applicants are getting along.

I know it's stressful waiting to here back about acceptance or not, but I've accepted the fact that I've done my best and all I can do is sit back and wait to see the results.

Good luck everyone! :nurse:

xoxjedixox - Cool! I'm a guy, maybe that will help with admissions? Haha.

peglegmeg - First, I love your screen name, haha. Second - congrats on the interview! Do you mind posting your stats? And did you do a phone interview?

Hey, Syberian Pup!

Thanks, yes, my friend years ago decided to give everyone pirate names, and mine became peglegmeg!

I did a phone interview; went very well. My stats range from 3.6 Bach GPA; still working on prereq's; about a 3.4 GPA with that right now. I'm female, mid-thirties. 34, actually, as today is my birthday :)

I worked as a funeral director/embalmer for awhile and now work in a lab doing cancer diagnostics. My background is in film and legal research, however. I think Rochester looks for diversity and interdisciplinary mediums, so I'm sure everyone has something neat to offer :)

It'd be nice to have a good mix of men and women in the program!

Where do you hail from?

guest_57352 · Apr 3, 2011

Haha, well that's cool! And Happy Birthday!

I'm fresh out of college, with a BS in Biology. I actually live in the Rochester vicinity now since I went to college near here, but I'm originally from the South. :)

Happy Birthday Peglegmeg! And congratulations to you..dying to know the "other" pirate names though...? lol.

Hi!

I've been keeping up with the post for awhile and decided to jump in. Hope everyone is doing well while the waiting continues. I was wondering for those who have had interviews - how were you contacted? I believe someone said they received a phone call. Any other means? And does anyone have a clue to how long the interview process it going to take? I have yet to hear back from them and I know that interviews have been going on for a bit now. Am I out of luck or is it just going to take some time to interview 300+ applicants? I'm hoping it's the latter. I also submitted the application close to the deadline, if that means anything. Anyways, good luck to everyone!

Welcome LolaMac. My interview last year was on my birthday and I found out on March 2nd that I was in. (But that was for the May start, so will not pertain to you for September). I hope the best for you! Hang in there! You can always re-apply for January maybe ??? :nurse:
