Yea the down side to applying to so many schools is the fact that each application averages $60 and to pay to get your official transcripts sent

Hi fellow students!

I applied to 5 schools, got accepted to 2 and 1 put me on their waiting list.

I know it's a pain in the butt to apply to the different programs since they all have a different application process, but apply to as many schools as possible!!! The hassle of doing it is well worth it.;)

Good luck to all!

haha, great cartoon! I only applied to two!

Specializes in Med/Surg & Tele.

I was 1 year away from getting my dual degree and I had only applied to ONE accelerated program. Needless to say, I didn't get in and I truly believe that it was because of my lack of experience and young age in comparison to the other applicants because I was only 21.

By the grace of God, I applied in my last month of graduating to another school and got in. So, only 2.

I would never put all my eggs in one basket again though!

I am going to apply to 3 schools in January. I can't imagine trying to jump through hoops to meets all the different pre-requisites and more than 3 insitutions at once. If I don't get in this year, I'll apply to more the following year. Hoping to get in on the first try!!!! :D

One. I applied to one and got accepted to one. I consider myself fortunate.
