Hi all,

Applications are due just around the corner, and I was just wondering if anyone else has started the application process yet.

It would be good to hear back from others who are going through the same process!

Yeah I sent my app in too today! Sarah u should b fine as far as the transcripts being received according to the counselor I spoke with a couple days ago- she said there was a little flexibility with the additional documents being officially received.

Thanks emtfox1122! I called my schools and they sent my apps between the 3rd and 5th of January, but I keep checking NursingCAS, and it still says not yet received :-(

Hoping they get them soon!!

Hey Sarah,

My school sent transcripts around January 5th or 6th as well, and they still aren't received. On the other hand, my other school sent transcripts around December 20th and the received date on NursingCAS said January 12. I don't know if it really does take about a month for them to receive and process the transcripts, but I'm thinking of giving them another week and then resending a set of transcripts just to be safe.

Hi All,

I sent out my transcripts on 1/3 and 1/4, and am also not showing received as of yet on the NursingCAS portal. So far, all but 1 of my schools (I attended 4) have confirmed the transcripts were sent. I'm gathering applications are accumulating since I'm sure they received a slew of them post-semester.

Since the updating process looks like a pretty good lag, I'll follow up in a few weeks if I don't see any changes on the portal.

Fingers crossed for everyone!!! :)

Did anyone who sent in transcripts in the beginning of January have a change in their transcript status? Mine still says Not Received. :(

Hi RosePetalss,

I had 3 sent out between the 2nd and the 4th of January. Two show received as of 1/14 and the third shows not yet received. The third school (SFSU) specifically says they will not send accompanying documents with the transcripts, so I know it's going to be a while before that one is updated.

I have a fourth that didn't go out until last week, even though it was requested on 1/3.

Just checked, and all four of my schools finally say received! :-) So relieved about that!

Good luck again to everyone!

Mine also! And now we wait... I can't wait to hear from them, but I think it's going to be a while before NursingCAS sorts through all the applications and gets them to SMU. And then SMU has to sort through them... this is going to require some patience. :) Good luck everyone!

Today I found out that I got an interview on Feb. 15.! I'm very excited.

I am also scheduled for feb 15th :) Just found out today :)

Congratulations Sahar & BlueEyedGuy! That's great news!

Does anyone know if this is the only round of interviews sent out? In other words, if you didn't get an interview today are you not likely to hear from them?

I'm trying to gauge if I should bother trying to get a lagging transcript from one of my schools sent over (took > 3 weeks from request to mailing).

Thanks much!

Katie Z.

OMG! Congratulations to Sahar and BlueEyedGuy! good luck with your interviews!

@katie - i'm pretty sure they have more round of interviews that will be sent out. Especially since NursingCAS takes up to 5 weeks after you submit your application to process and get sent to the school. I didn't send in my application til the due date and my last transcript didn't get received until the 24th. I really dislike the NursingCAS system...seems like everything would be faster if we just sent our apps directly to them! LOL! Anyways...I'll keep crossed fingers for us and I hope we hear from them soon! BTW...Katie, does it show that your transcript has been received on the NursingCAS website!? >3 weeks for a request is pretty ridiculous if you ask me!!
