ASU Summer of 2011 applicants!

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

hello all you asu nursing hopefuls,

well, i decided to start this thread to get all of the arizona state bsn majors that are applying for the 16-month summer program starting in may of 2011 together. i went to the advancement workshop on 11/12/2010 and saw so many people there. i can't even imagine how many people will be applying. with only 100 seats open, it's going to be tough, although that's probably an understatement. the advancement scores for summer cycles have been lower than the traditional 24-month program in the past, but with all the changes that asu decided to make :uhoh3:, i think things will be different this time around. i don't think my chances are very good compared to other applicants. i have a 3.81 gpa... realistically, i'll probably have to get like a 92% on the teas to be competitive against students that have a 4.0, which seems like most do. i don't think that's possible...but i gotta stay optimistic. with replacement course for sciences being virtually impossible to take (seeing how you need so many pre-reqs for them which the nursing program doesn't require), i'm starting to worry:crying2: .however, all i can do is study my butt of for the teas and see what happens.

anyhoo..... feel free to share comments and stories, ask questions, and connect with other students that are applying for the summer 2011 program. this is just a way for us to get through the long wait until april arrives and to provide encouragement for each other. :heartbeat

Is there a Mayo Clinic option for the Fall 2011?

:ancong!:

Aw, I still remember getting my letter... probably one of the best days of my life, still! :)

Just a note for those of you on the alternate list: For my cohort (Summer 2010), ALL 10 of the people on the Alternate list are in the program. Unfortunately, the summer program is a lot more expensive and I think students didn't really realize that until they got in, and therefore dropped out of the running. So, keep your heads up. You may never know what will happen! :o

CONGRATS again! :yeah:

@student1984 - apparently I'm 0.0014 away from getting into Mayo. That's insane! I did put in for it too.... maybe I'll be an alternate if someone declines? ;)

Does anyone know when will Mayo classes be starting? I am planning a vacation (I'm sure my last before we graduate!) before we begin and want to make sure I get the dates right. Congrats to all!

If you guys start the same day we do (which I am almost certain you do), Mayo's summer starts on May 16th :) I can't wait to meet all of our newest Mayo members ha...a few of us were discussing this today in clinical, and we ALL can't wait to meet you guys!

Anyone know the start date for ASU downtown? I checked online but couldn't find anything specific to the nursing program.

The start date for ALL Summer students (Mayo Jr 1, Downtown Jr 1, Downtown Sr 2) is May 16th, the same day as your guys' Lighting of the Lamp ceremony! :) Your end date should be around August 2nd, and absolutely no later than August 5th!

So you might be getting a small break (depending on your finals) before you start and you'll get a break before class starts in the Fall!! Be very, very thankful for that... last summer some of us had only a weekend between Spring and Summer, then we only had 4 days between Summer and Fall... talk about ROUGH! :uhoh3:

Also, I know for us Senior 2's (we already have our class schedules, for once) and last summer as a Junior 1, we most definitely had an exam the day after Memorial Day. Soooo try to keep that in mind if you're planning a vacation over Memorial Day! :rolleyes:
