If you got an interview then I think majority of it comes down to how well the interview goes. Strong reason for why Westminster. Having a strong support system. Answer clinical questions well etc.

I just got a generic email from someone who I had not spoken with before.was a bit surprised! 4.0 GPA, 2 yrs ICU (charge, preceptor, house sup), 200 hrs of shadowing, hospice volunteering, alllll the committees at work. Must have been quite the pool of applicants!
Hi I am a current student in the program. I spoke to one of our program director last week and he said this round of applicants had the most amount of qualified people they have had in a long time. Our admissions coordinator also left about a month ago. Programs typically give a generic answer unless you personally reach out for feedback. Good luck.

Current westminster student here - this round had a large amount of qualified applicants. Cohort # is capped at 30 so the program is very competitive. I was also waitlisted when I applied back in 2022 and they reached out in Feb of 2023 to offer me a spot so don't write it off just yet.

Thanks! What do you think of the program so far?
