BSu nursing student-to-be with questions

Hey Winnie!
Good luck on your application to BSU! I trust that your GPA is a good one and that you have everything correct on your application.
I've just been in the program for a couple of months and I have no complaints. Boise is a nice town, BSU is a nice school (it's friendly, clean, and everything in the labs work like they should) and the nursing faculty seems to know their stuff well.
Sorry I really cant answer your questions about when you can expect to hear back and if it hard to get in or not --I do know they get a few hundred applications.
I'd expect that the nursing school homepage should have info up in a few weeks as to when you can expect to know something. BUT I will suggest that you apply to as MANY SCHOOLS as you can -- do NOT put all your eggs in one (or a couple) of basket(s). If you're young, then maybe you can keep waiting to get into a school; if you're older, you need to get in somewhere/anywhere soon.
Best of luck! I know how nerve wracking this waiting is.

Hmmm... you paying out-of-state tuition may actually help your chances getting into the program. (Idaho too is having budget shortfalls, but not near as bad as CA.)
I'm from SF; and I applied to 10 different "lottery" programs in CA thinking that that'd be sufficient to get into a program somewhere there. None took me, so I'm here at BSU --and I'm very happy I applied here. (I think there are 5 Californians in my class of 70, btw, and a number from OR, NV, and UT.)
I have a few contacts in the department. I'll get one to guestimate for me when you can start getting nervous opening your mailbox.

Hey Winnie!
I spoke for a moment to my friend in the administration dept at BSU.
She said they're working hard processing applications; but could not give me a date when the letters will go out. She said 6weeks from closing date at the soonest; 4 weeks at the soonest. I dont know: early November-ish. She said you'd get something in the mail regardless of acceptance (e.g., an explanation of your rejection or your placement on the alternate list).
I assume you've been applying to other programs and have a chance with them as well, so I'll suggest that you make sure you have your Healtcare Provider CPR and ALL your vaccinations. You'll need a recent negative TB test and a background check a month or so before the semester starts. That shouldnt take very long. Getting moved here isnt a big deal --lots of apartments close to campus. Financial Aid office is really helpful and pretty fast.
Good luck to ya' in getting in to a good nursing school!
Try to relax. Think positive thoughts.

Hey Winnie! If that email is from the nursing department, then you're in. And in that case,... super congrats!!!
Did the email not say they'd be sending you more info by the mail (or further info) shortly? I learned of my acceptance by regular mail (a big packet) and then had maybe a week to return a signed letter of promise enroll.
If you're not sure, you can forward it to me to take a peek. Or you could call the person at the bottom of the email on Monday. Btw, is it Olga or Marian who sent the email?
Anyway, again,... super congrats!
