CU Spring 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Colorado

Published

Since we're getting close to the end I thought I would start this thread. Please introduce yourselves and add any updates as you get them from CU.

I'm a non-traditional student making a mid-life career change. I used to work in corporate finance for many years. I became a stay at home mom about 8 years ago and then decided to make a major career change into nursing. I completed all my nursing pre-requisites at a local community college. My previous bachelor's degree is in business administration.

Would love to hear from fellow applicants!!!!

I got my acceptance letter in the mail today. I would love to hear from others that will be in my class. I will be in the traditional program.

Hi! I will be in the traditional program too! I am going back for a career in nursing after taking a long time off from school to figure out where I wanted my life to go. I am 28. I am so excited becuase I was ready to apply last year in June, as CU was my 1st choice but then they added Gen Chem and I couldn't. Then I found out on the deadline day in Oct. that my Intro to Chem with a Lab course would suffice, and I tried to apply but couldn't get my username. So finally, after being accepted to UNMC College of Nursing in Omaha and being waitlisted for Regis, I gave CU my final attempt and am sooooo happy I got in!!! I was supposed to be moving to Omaha on Tuesday to start my program there on the 22nd! Crazy close call! Congrats and I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there! I am also a non-traditional student and will be in the traditional program Spring 2012. I have been a stay at home mom for 20 years. I completed all my pre-reqs at a local community college and graduated with an AA degree and also just got my CNA license as well. I am so excited to be in the program and am trying to keep busy until January!! Looking forward to meeting you both!

rs0824 - I'm excited to be meeting someone closer to my age. I'll be 47 next week. If you are on facebook here 's my link. http://www.facebook.com/lkanayama. I'd love to get together before school starts if you've got the time.

lindsaylat - i'd love to add you to my facebook too.

I just facebooked you...I'll be 47 next Wednesday!

Hey Ladies,

I just wanted to check with you to see if you all had heard of any requirements we need to fulfill right now (other than the tuition deposit)? I have gone onto the MyUCDaccess page and it says to "claim your status" but I don't know how since when I click on it, all it says is we'll receive notice of when we need to do things. What have you heard?

Thanks!

Lindsay

Hey there - I know what you know. I sent my deposit in right away, but have not received any notifications. I will let you know when I do!

Same here. Sent in my deposit and am anxiously awaiting more materials.

Hey everyone! I sent in my deposit also and I haven't heard anything yet. I haven't seen the check reflected in my account either. So now I'm wondering if they received it....any one else in the same boat?

Hey Guys,

So I know you all have probably read my depressing post about me being call listed, well I am glad to announce that I am no longer in that boat because as of today I have been accepted into the traditional program!!! OMG that was the longest 16 days that I have ever expereinced! LoL! This morning I received a call from a lady named Sarah. She told me to just look for my packet in the mail next week to get all the information I need. I know I should probably just wait, but from reading your post, I understand that a $250 deposit is due. Do we have to send that in before September 15th? Any and all information you all may give to me would be awesome!

Thanks so much guys and I will see you in Janauary!!!

Hey there - I am - I keep checking my student portal and am hoping to see some type of acknowledgement so I don't have to worry about it. Hopefully we'll hear something soon!
