Villanova FLEX ABSN 2022

I applied to the 23 month program!

That's amazing! Are you in your undergrad senior year right now? 

Yes I am!! Are you?

Yes! Oh my gosh, this is so fun :) you’re officially my first friend in the program — assuming I get in, LOL

same here ?I’ve been looking for one of these discussion boards for this program so I’m happy I came across it! did you apply to another programs or just villanova?

a few, although Villanova is my top choice! I also did Drexel, Jefferson, widener, and UPenn — haven’t heard back from any yet, tho, and I’m still doing pre-reqs

I also applied to a few others but Villanova is definitely my top choice! I am also still taking a few prereqs. Have you taken patho yet?

I totally forgot to respond, so sorry oh my gosh! 

How's it going?? I just interviewed for Villanova yesterday — hoping we hear soon!!

I haven't, I'm going to start it probably next month? Taking it online via Portage since my school doesn't hold it. Have you?

it’s OK! I haven’t taken it either I’m also going to take it through portage! 

I have my interview on Thursday! I’m excited but also nervous haha. How was your interview??

Ah good luck!! You got this!

It was pretty comfortable — she asked a lot of questions with extensive answers, like about my experience in healthcare and my feelings on nursing duties and values etc, but she made it conversational and friendly so I didn’t feel too on the spot :) Long, though, I heard most people go about 30 min and mine was an hour?? 
 

Maybe I just talked too much, haha

Thank you so much!! I’m sure you did great! 

Did she say how long it will take to hear back? I hope we find out soon :) Also do you know how many people they admit? I feel like I saw it somewhere on the website but can’t find it now haha.

Aw thanks, I hope so!!

She told me she wasn’t sure yet — apparently they need to finish all the interviews, and then they present each candidate to the admissions committee, and then the committee makes decisions from there. I applied for the “early decision” deadline in Oct, though, so she thought that might be released anywhere from early March to early April? Apparently they’re also not sure when yet bc this is a new program and they’re still deciding how to best evaluate people and decide on an exact cohort size 

I did ask though and she said the express track is about 90 people, our flex track will be around 25?? ?
