Lawson State Hopefulls

Hey just thought I'd pass along the info that I recived, last fall's cut off at Lawson's b'ham campus was 180 and I got that # from Ms. Marbel. I myself am applying to Bessemer campus and was told we have around 250 applicants for fall evening program and 40 spots are open. Because of the sheer volume I was also told that we are not going to know until mid july at the very earliest. This is requireing me to chill my nerves out. Good luck to every one out there.

wow...40 slots. I guess we will just have to wait. and what a long wait it is.

I applied for the Birmingham campus..so if anyone lives in or around the centerpoint area and is accepted in the program let me know. It would be nice to commute and save on the money. As we all know, funds are tight for everyone with the economy.

waiting waiting waiting...blah

I emailed Ms Young at the Bessemer Campus and she said that we should receive letters by the
last week in July. I applied at both campuses. I got a 180 points, hope that gets me in. I don't have any other classes to take. Good luck everyone!!!!

OMG! 250 applicants! Ok, now I'm worried.... This news has come as a surprise. I haven't gotten my acceptance letter yet, but I have been frantically checking the mail box daily. I may have around 180 points, not sure about the 11 points and how they're applied exactly. But I've done everything possible to get into this year's program. I've made A's in all my Biology classes, decent score on Compass reading, 3.5 gpa, and not to mention the many sacrifices I've made for this program. If I don't get in this go round, I will be absolutely devastated.
I called Lawson today to inquire about when the letters would be sent out, and they told me during the last week of July. Which is sort of last minute if you ask me. A few other schools have already sent out their letters to students for the Fall semester program.
However, I wish you all the best, and hope that everyone on this thread is accepted. Be sure to post when you all receive your letters as I will do the same. Take care and God bless....

It is kinda weird that they are sending the letters out so late. I have orientation for Wallace on the 14th and 15th even though Lawson/Bessemer is my first choice. Oh well, nothing to do now but WAIT.

Ok,the wait is killing me. Has anyone heard anything?

not a peep!

From what I know, the head honchos had a meeting today, to pick the ones who will be accepted - letters will go out next week, according to Ms. Young. This is very close to the beginning of Fall semester . . .but as long as I get in, I don't care . . .applied for LPN day at Bessemer. Took three classes over the summer at Jeff State and I am exhausted, but still excited. Good Luck everyone!!!!!
