Oh what a great Thursday!... I just got an interview invite via email ?

Hi! I also applied for ABSN only, and received an interview invite last Thursday. I haven't heard anything since then regarding scheduling the interview. Have you?

Did any PMHNP applicants get to watch yesterday's webinar? I was hoping I'd be able to, but it was scheduled during my workday. Apparently it will be recorded so hopefully I can view it later...

Like you two, I received one last Thursday as well. I got a follow up email this past Tuesday with my interview date.

Hope this helps you

Yeah thanks for letting me know! Weird that I haven't heard back yet. Is your interview scheduled for this week?

I’m a little disheartened. I am strictly an ABSN applicant and I have not received any correspondence about an interview date. I know others have... (I bet they’re probably done by now to stay on their timeline)

I did email F.C. in December about interviews; if they were mandatory, or if applicants in the past have gotten in without one. No response even after a reminder email ?. Oh well.. I really thought I was a competitive applicant.

I should be grateful w/ the other programs that are shaping to be promising.

Good luck all! Come on Penn!!!!

And to @crossfitter19 I applied for ABSN only and did not receive any interview invite! I have read in the previous threads that you do not need an interview to be accepted, but truly I do not think it is necessarily a great sign. I hope they were just too busy this cycle to get to everyone.

It was. I got the email on Tuesday morning saying that I had an interview the next day (Wednesday morning).

So I already had it. A relaxed, conversational phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes.

I did, it was interesting. I didn't realize that you are required to work after the BSN portion before or while going into the MSN portion. It makes sense, and I probably would work as an RN anyway...

You are not required, but it is a recommendation if you do not have any healthcare experience.

Was anyone else told early February for an admissions decision? The wait since November has been brutal!! Hoping just another week more..

Thank you for sharing! I just received an email with my interview time set for this Thursday.

I attended the FNP webinar 1/16/19... at that point Filomena said she was expecting acceptance notifications to go out between 2/10 and 2/15. And agreed, the wait has been brutal!

Does anyone know when they’ll start to look over applications for the MSN Fall 2019 part time program?
