Any current or former Metro students?

they did say on their website that you should apply Metro first and then apply nursing program. It looks really clear to me. And I would suggest you to call them instead of email them. If it switch to voice message, just keep calling...The lady at front desk is really nice but she is also busy. good luck!

I am currently in the program. I would say it's a good program and that I am very happy to be in it. There have been a few bumps along the way, but from what I have heard that happens at other schools as well. You will become frustrated at times if you are the type who expects everything to run perfectly all the time.

That being said, Metro's 2009 NCLEX pass rates are 100% so far, and I have done reasonably well on our HESI tests (which I guess are supposed to be similar to the NCLEX). We have only had two so far, but the clinical experiences have been great. From what I heard, most of my classmates have also had great clinical experiences. Speaking of my classmates, they are awesome! This is also a big plus to the program and more important then you probably realize at this point. Obviously, you won't have my classmates. My point is you will likely have very high quality people in the program with you.

Overall, I feel like I am getting a very good education.

I wouldn't hold the application process against them. I just looked at the website, and it looks pretty familiar. I would bet it is similar if not exactly the same as when I applied last year. I think you just missed the part about applying for the school in addition to completing the nursing program application. I know CU didn't, but most other schools I looked at also required that you filled two applications.

Good luck in your decision.

I have a couple of friends that went to Metro and loved everything about it. I know that admissions is always the strangest part of the whole process and usually does not have too much to do with the actual program. When did you apply? I just applied and was wondering when we would find out about getting accepted. I know it said the program started in Jan of 2010, but when I finished the application it said I would find out in Feb. Does anyone know when people usually find out?

Thanks for the info, I was worried after finding out that UCD applications were for next year, I did not want Metro to be the same thing. Good to hear we will hear by October, I excited to start as soon as possible (if I get in). Are you applying other places?

I applied to Metro and I am applying to CU, I want to start as soon as possible so I hope I get into Metro. CU's program looks way harder to get into, but I know people who got accepted without great GPAs.
