Jeff State Fall '09 Hopefuls??

When I got in they called me on a Friday and orientation was on Tuesday. Got my paper in the mail on Saturday. Not alot is said at orientation either. You'll come back another day to try on uniforms and then you will order yourself online.

Its only the start of getting last minute info. I even remember going to class and being told I had clinicals the next morning. Like Ive said before... you got to be flexable !!!

Good Luck as you start your journey! I loved school. Actually miss being there. Of course I cant find a job so that may have something to do with it!

I talked to a lady in the Nursing division at Jeff State today and she said that they were still working on the letters this afternoon. I don't get it why call some? Are they calling everyone in the part time or what she said it wasn't necessarily everyone to keep up hope. I have 190 pts but who knows how high it will go this time?! I just wish this crazy waiting were over.

Hey everyone...I went by the advising offices today at the Jefferson Campus, and personally talked with Kathleen Johnson. I told her that I had heard that orientation was next week, and that I was getting worried that I was not going to get my letter in time. She asked me my name, program I applied for, and my ranking score. She then told me "well, I can't tell you...but I can tell you this...the cutoff for the Jefferson full-time program was 186. Everyone with a 186 and above got in!!! She said that our orientation was next wednesday at 1pm.

I say all of this hesitantly because I know she told me more than she was supposed to. But, I know that everyone, like myself, has been going crazy. So, according to her ( and the big grin on her face when she told me) I have been accepted.

I had a 195/200. And I guess (according to her) if you had a 186 or better you can count on getting good news! She also said that letters DID go out today (7/8/09). So I'm guessing by thursday or friday it will be official.

Congrats to all of you who made it in! If anyone is going to the Jefferson Campus full time I would really like to meet you because we are going to need each other! My name is Rachel Cooper, and I shall see you guys next Wednesday!

Thanks so much for sharing your news and CONGRATS!! I applied to Shelby full-time so I figure we will be hearing something tomorrow or Friday. God-willing!! Again Congrats!!

That's pretty much what happened to me today- only I called to see if I could still get my name in the pot for the part time program just in case my husband doesn't find a job in time (he was laid off 3 months ago- we've been having a tough time of it, and on top of that, we're newlyweds!)
She said that it was too late- I figured as much, but you don't know if you don't ask- but that with my points that I was accepted-which I also figured, since I have 200 points.

I look forward to meeting everyone Wednesday as well! We'll need to stick together and do study groups to survive!
My name is Rachel Owen-- us Rachels are everywhere!

For all of you applying to Shelby, I went by to see Tiffany today to find out what was going on. She wouldn't say anything about point cutoffs or whether or not I got in, but she did say that letters went out yesterday and today. So I guess some of us will get them today and some will get them tomorrow or Saturday. I didn't get one today so hopefully tomorrow!

Thanks for the info--I thought it would come today for sure. I even left work to come home and check, so you can imagine my state of panic when I realized it STILL wasn't here! I applied full time @ Shelby as well--my name is Jessica Mitchell. Any other full time Shelby applicants following? On a (lighter) side note, I saw this on a T-shirt on someone in WalMart today

I'm a student nurse

(and yes, that does look infected to me.)

Hi There Rachel and Rachel. Paul Rhodes here. Nice to "meet" you. I will be starting with ya next week, and I look forward to getting through this program together. Only two more years. Not bad... I guess.

See ya next week.
