Incorporating Group Interviews Into Holistic Review in Baccalaureate Nursing School Admissions.
Holistic review in admissions considers an applicant's background and experience in combination with academic achievement. In order to evaluate baccalaureate nursing school applicants more holistically, a school of nursing added group interviews as part of the admissions process. The school's Admission and Progression Committee consulted with other schools, developed interview questions, and implemented a strategy to interview applicants. Results of this process were high levels of candidate and faculty satisfaction and enrollment of a diverse cohort of students with a high preadmission grade point average. Areas for improvement and further research are discussed.
