I guess I should clarify my position.
I've already graduated and have my BA.
The schools I'm applying for have accerelated nursing programs.

I foolishly made the assupstion that people were in the same position that I'm in or similar because from what I've noticed, most people on here are not in their 20s (or maybe upper 20s).

It makes sense that if you're a regular undergrad, that you would most likely only apply to one school. That school being where you are taking your prereq classes.

But I guess if that's not the case, then that is where my previous question would come into play.

Well, I'm pushing this thread off topic so just ignore me. Haha!

Hi. No, when I'm talking about JHU, I'm talking about accelerated as well.

I'm just stubborn. :P

I applied last year for fall '05 although I knew I wouldn't get in because I wouldn't have accumulated enough points yet. I did manage to make the alternate list, which gave me more confidence about getting in for fall '06. I have to wait until April or May to find out for sure, but I should be in the ADN program at my community college this time next year.

Oh and Im getting my AS

I don't know if it is the same where you are, but where I applied was based on a points system as well and the GPA is added into your points. For instance, if you have a 3.0 Gpa you may get like 7 points for that. 3.8 may get 10 points and a 4.0 may get 20 points. You also get points for you high school GPA, your ACT score (the higher the score, the higher the points) etc... You may want to check to be sure they don't require a certain GPA. Good luck to you.

Also I could be misinterpretting what is being written so I just think it seems that most people are applying to one school.

I was just curious.

I'm applying to 5 different schools here in Oklahoma City area. I am guessing that the majority of us are applying to more than 1 school.

I've only applied to one school. If I had been in a hurry to get in, I'd have applied to a couple more. The school I go to awards points based on GPA and credit hours. I have a 4.0 and more points now than I need to get in so I should be good for '06. The school is small so they only accept new students in the program once a year.

I'm about to write my application essay tonight. I have to turn in the whole application by next Saturday. I'm applying to school. of nurs. @ university of illinois @ chicago (except I'm specifically applying for their branch in urbana-champaign). If I get it in by next weekend then I'm considered in the early decision pool & will know by 12/15 if I'm in or not. I feel better knowing sooner than later so I can start preparing for the program. I'm not too nervous about getting in, I'm more excited than anything else.
Good luck to all of you!
