NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hi everyone, I'm Lily. I am applying to NAU's 2012 program and was hoping for any advice with the HESI A2 (what books to study since I've heard many bad reviews about the review)

I know it's some time away but I am shooting to get in my first time applying!

Also, I was hoping get a ballpark of how many people will be applying for this start date.

Thanks!

Hey Jane,

Good job on the Kaplan yourself! Thanks for sharing that average. Do you know if that score is for every one who took it or just for a specific area? Man, this is my first time ever having to wait to find out if I get into a school or not. What a weird period of time, huh?

I took a bit of a roundabout way, I just moved back to Tucson after living in Irvine, CA for 8 years, so I took a lot of my prereqs at Irvine Valley College, which were accepted by NAU, and a few at UA and Pima. I'm in Chem 130 and Developmental Psychology right now at Pima. This is indeed a nerve wracking time. I'm also applying at Pima Medical Institute as a backup, though I'd rather not have to pay their $44,000 of course.

Hi Ashley,

I didn't ask if it was for a specific area, but I'm guessing it might be the average for everyone who has taken the exam so far (but I would have to call again to be sure). It it also my first time waiting to find out if I got accepted to a program, but I'm trying to not stress myself out! My current classes and my 4 1/2 month old boy keep me pretty busy so I think the time will fly by! Good luck to you!

David- which Developmental Psyc class are you in? I can't remember my teacher's name, but it's a hybrid class at 12:10 on Mondays. Do we have the same one?? I don't blame you for using PMI as a backup. I might do the same if it weren't for the $$$. Ah, but I'm sure you got one of the highest Kaplan scores and I'm sure your prereq GPA is also great, so I don't think you'll have a problem :)

Jane- It makes sense that average would be for every one. I'm sure we'll get all the deets soon enough. Good luck to you too!!!

Oh, and also, I don't know if it makes things better or worse to know this, but I was looking up a thread for Springies from last year and they got their acceptance letters around the first week of November. I was told I would know the end of November. Just a head's up.

Hi Everyone!

I found an article online regarding NAU's Nursing Program for the Spring of 2012:

Hey everyone,

This thread is awesome. I'm applying for the Fall 2012 NAU Tucson next year and its been a huge help hearing all the progress you Springies are making. I'd love to hear more as you all find out your acceptances.

Also looking into PMI for their program as well. Coming from CA, I need to land something in Tucson and get started in a program ASAP. No wait lists, Blech! Anyways, keep it up, looking forward to getting this ball rolling.

I actually started this thread but am no longer a Spring 2012 hopeful but a Fall 2012 hopeful! This has really helped me and I hope everyone will post their acceptances. Thank you for everyone's help!

Hi Lily!

Lily,

I was originally a Spring 2012 applicant so I decided to spend a month of my summer volunteering in Costa Rica when I found out a bio class I wanted to retake was cancelled. I looked through my transcripts, and researched a lot on the Kaplan and thought it was best if I just spent this semester acing micro and physiology. Then I will be fully prepared for the Kaplan in the Spring.

I guess I wanted to make sure I had the best odds of getting in.

I am applying for Tucson as my first choice and Flagstaff 2nd. (NAU is also the only place I am applying)

I might have to start a new thread for Fall 2012 hopefuls out there.!

QUESTION: Was there any chemistry on the Kaplan??

I havent taken the Kaplan yet. I'm looking into getting a study guide for it, though. Want to get a good grade on it, but from the last group of threads, sounds like 78%'s are average!

So how does that work, with the alternative campus choices? Such as, if I was to put Tucson as first, and Flagstaff as second choice, and I get accepted into Flagstaff, is there any chance of getting into Tucson? Or, If I began the program in Flagstaff, could I transfer down to Tucson if a spot became available? I wish I could go in to one of their information sessions, but its a bit of a drive (11 hours) haha.

Costa Rica! Thats awesome! I love it there. My sister volunteered and worked for an agency doing health care in a small town outside of San Jose for six years. She loved it!
