2015-2016 Rosalind Franklin University Application Thread

[kelsey lynn]

congrats! I got accepted as well!!

[jasmineirene]

CONGRATS GUYS! Do you think this is the program you will be attending? Also to accept it says we need our school ID numbers. Where did you find yours?

[Kathrun55]

I have some other interviews, but I'm 99% sure this is where I will be attending. I did not have to fill out a school ID number. I needed my social security number and CASPA ID number though

I got my invitation today via email, so excited! I chose the Jan. 15th date - I look forward to meeting you guys. I'm coming from the west coast so any advice/recommendations on cheap lodging and transportations would be greatly appreciated :)

A lot of us stayed in the Courtyard Mariott in Waukegan last year for interviews and second look day. It's super nice and they have a shuttle to the university if you ask! I'm fairly certain they have a discount for Rosalind interviewees too!

 

Congrats to everyone that was accepted today!

Congrats to everyone was really hoping to at least interview here.  Still waiting out, but its not looking good based on people's invitations for interviews. Guess I have to rethink this life goal as this  second  application cycle isn't going so well. 

[ThatStudentGalVal]

@twonfields: don't give up- if you haven't gotten a rejection letter from them yet, it means you're still in the pool for consideration. I'm also a second year applicant and while the waiting game (and the rejection game) can be really hard on the ego and can make you start to doubt yourself, it WILL happen for you someday. I just keep telling myself I will appreciate it that much more for having to work so hard and wait so long for it, and in the end it will give me more motivation to continue improving myself as an applicant. If this is your dream, don't give up on it! You can do it!

I have not yet received a rejection letter, but haven't received an interview either. Anyone think it would be helpful to call and get a status update? Or do you think they won't be able to really tell me anything? The waiting game is so hard!! lol 

[allygator11]

I GOT AN INTERVIEW!! I had the option between a bunch of dates. I chose Nov 20th because Sept 25th is too soon and Oct 23rd was filled already. Anyone else interviewing Nov 20th?! I'm so excited!

[OLW2018]

Congratulations! Did they call or email you? When did you get the email that your app was completed?

[allygator11]

They emailed me. I received the application complete email on July 9th. They have been emailing me in regards to some prereqs recently though

[jasmineirene]

If you get a chance to interview do it as soon as possible. They have rolling admissions. I signed up sept. 25th and then go a call the day before the aug. Interviewsl they had an opening and I took it.

 

They use the MMI. Idk if you can really prepare for it. I drove down right after the phone call I got and I got accepted. My point it if you feels it's too soon. It might not be. Your chances of getting on are better the sooner your interview.

[jasmineirene]

Sorry for all the mistakes. Autocorrect is killing me.

[allygator11]

Thanks for the advice!! I live all the way in Florida and already have another interview at a different school tomorrow, so this Friday really can't happen for me. I would love the oct 23rd slot but they were all full. Do you think I should email them and just say if they have an opening for oct 23rd to please let me know. It's just hard when trying to book a flight in advanced

[katarzyna17]

To all of those who got invited for an interview, when was your application submitted?

[jasmineirene]

Ohh yeah coming that far totally understandable things have to be set in stone. You could call uf see if there are any openings they'll let you know.

[Hans24]

For anyone who has interviewed do you know how many applicants are present per interview? Also does anyone know how many acceptances have been made already? I'm still waiting for a response and calling to check up on your application doesn't seem to yield any answers. 

[Kathrun55]

Hans24 there are around 24 candidates per interview session. I'm not sure how many of us were accepted, but as everyone else is saying if you get the opportunity to interview earlier do it. Good luck! Hopefully you will hear back soon!

[PA.Med]

Would anyone be willing to post their Stats? Please? Pretty Please? It would help a lot!

[kes070]

Does anyone know if there is anywhere to store a small suitcase during the interview? Thanks!

[EDRG]

Anyone who's CASAP application was verified until August have recieved anything? either rejction letter or invitations for an interview? Just curious since I haven't heard back at all.

 

Thank you

[koalas11]

I got the "application complete, materials under review" email on August 6th and still have not heard anything so you're not alone!

[Kathrun55]

PA.Med certainly,

 

CASPA calculated: cGPA:3.9, sGPA:3.97 (both are a little higher on my transcripts); submitted my app June 27th, verified July 9th,interview invite August 21st for the 28th, and accepted on September 16th

 

GRE scores: quantitative:153 (52%) verbal: 151 (50%) writing: 4.5. (80%)-all pretty average scores but decent for little preparation I guess haha

 

Healthcare hours: 2000 and counting (CNA in nursing home and HUC/CNA on ortho/cardiac unit) Hope this helps! Good luck!
