UT AE-MSN 2016

Published

Hi all -

Just wondering who else is applying for the AE-MSN program at the University of Texas at Austin. I am applying to the psych NP track and super nervous about it! I know previous applicants did not hear back about interviews until early December and decisions until early February.

Slashdot - I'm waaaay out of state, so they're totally happy to accommodate if you explain the situation! Maybe offer to do a skype interview? I know that was an option for me.

atx0306 - Where did you see that information re: the aspects of the interview this year? Was it in the email from Tracy from earlier?

It was in the email I got requesting an interview, at the bottom. Im sure the process is different for each specialty though.

I am a CNS applicant, I received an interview request this week and signed up for my slot. I have one more pre-req to complete as well.

atx0306 - I did not see anything like that in my email, it must differ by specialty. Mine just had the dates that were available and a document to sign up for a slot.

Are all of the interviews scheduled during the same time frame? Mine is scheduled this week!

I also received an interview for LeaDs which will be 30 min to 1 hour long. The interviewer hinted it will be mostly about getting to know my interests, and what program fits the best for me.

Any tips regarding the interview?

I was originally in the FPMHNP program but switched to LeaDs, so I am not sure if I should "tailor" my answers specifically targeted to the LeaDs program, or to the overall general nursing field? I can find many ways to relate mental health to the LeaDs program and how it can fit my long term goals, but that's all I have!

Thanks and best of luck to everyone :)

Hey atx0306 and slashdot,

Do y'all have any info on what the writing component of our interview will be? I asked about it when I responded to my interview request but never heard anything back.

I'm coming prepared to write something although I have no idea what...

Emb,

I thought about asking too but I figured they wouldn't want to tip us off. I am thinking there will be a prompt, maybe on ethics or an issue in healthcare we are passionate about. But I could just be imagining worst-case scenario. Isn't this the first year they've implemented the writing portion? Love being the guinea pigs!
