Congrats to everyone who has/had interviews! 
 

Just wondering, has anyone heard anything about interviews for any of the tracks other than LeaDs yet?

I have an interview for the LeaDS program on 11/10. This does seem sooner than other cycles. Also, everyone check your spam folder as the fingerprint and interview emails both were marked as spam. FYI. For those who have interviewed for this cycle, was it just 1 interviewer on zoom or multiple interviewers? 

Best of luck everyone. 

I interviewed today and only had one interviewer!

I applied for PMHNP but have not been contacted regarding an interview yet.

Has anyone been contacted for interviews for the Adult-Gerontology track?

I got an email today about interviewing on Dec 6th and 7th for AG-CNS, which honestly seems very fast.

I got my email today too! Wishing you all luck ?

I just got my email for AE PMHNP.

How has the interview process been for those who have had interviews ? Any insight is much appreciated.

I interviewed for LeaDS about a month ago so I'm not sure how similar our interviews will be but I can tell you that for me I was notified one day in advance of the interview from the professor that was conducting it. It was on zoom and it lasted about about an hour and 15 minutes. The first part was roughly 17 questions and then the last 20 minutes was the professor and I talking about the program. I recommend doing research on your interviewer prior to the interview and asking questions at the end. If you want to know anything else just let me know!

I got my interview today. Felt pretty bad, it supposed to be 30 minutes, but mine only last for 20 minutes. As I didn’t well prepared for the interview, and I didn’t have any questions to ask them, even mixed up the concepts of CNS and NP. I’m so upset now. I know I won’t make it this year ?. Hope you all luck!

Hey Y'all!

I had my interview yesterday for AGCNS. On the email, it said it would be 30 minutes but mine was approximately 20-25 minutes (mine started 5 minutes early). There were two professors that were interviewing me. I was only asked 4-5 questions and they weren't the same questions that I had heard were asked the previous 3 years. The questions were a little bit hard to answer but I used my CNA experiences to answer some of them which I believe helped me tremendously. My biggest advice to those who are yet to be interviewed would be to practice as much as you can and make sure you do extensive research on your concentration. Be sure to also ask questions! I asked about 3. I think I did okay, but I could have done better. 

*ALSO apparently they won't be conducting the final review of our applications until mid-late January ? . The professors told me that the earliest we could expect to hear back is mid-February.

Wishing everyone luck!

I had my AGCNS interview today! It was with 2 professors and lasted almost 30 mins. I was pretty nervous the first few minutes and talked a little fast, but after that it went pretty well I think. They told me I had good answers a few times (although I wasn’t sure if they were just saying that to say it ?). I definitely spaced out when they asked how I think an MSN degree will prepare me for my career goal. 
 

Overall, the interview was a little harder than I anticipated and different from what other years mentioned. They asked me about my relevant experience, if I worked with my previous degree, why I choose UT, why I choose CNS, the ethical/social implications of being a Master’s prepared nurse (which was the hardest question for sure), a time when I disagreed with a supervisor’s decision, how I plan to handle the course load, and a few other questions I can’t remember.

My interviewers said they aren’t scheduled to meet until the last week of January and they may have to meet more than once, so we won’t know until the beginning of February at the earliest.
