For those awaiting acceptance letters from Northern Illinois University

U.S.A. Illinois

My question to all of you that applied for this year, what is your GPA?I am trying to find out how competitive the program is this year. The waiting game on the acceptance letter is killing me and I have heard we wont find out til end of March.

My GPA for the pre-req courses is a 3.0 . I know that is not the best, but I have a friend that goes there and her GPA was lower than mine, and she was admitted to the nursing program this past fall.

Thanks for your response.

Nope, status didn't change. They still do it the old fashioned way =/

My status hasn't changed either. I wish they sent e-mails as well. :p

Man, I really can't believe that the long, painful wait is almost over. Some of us might even know as early as tomorrow... that's crazy. Whatever happens, it has been a pleasure waiting with all of you. :) I'm nervous, but I'm glad that it's just about over. I just want to know one way or the other at this point.

Awfully quiet on the thread today......anyone heard anything yet?

Hello everyone!!! I was looking up comments for niu and im glad i found this. So i applied last year to Niu and i was placed on the waiting list for spring. I then received an acceptance letter to begin Jan 2012 however i was unable to start because i had just had a baby. Nursing staff told me to reapply for fall so i did and i just got a denial:(((. I didnt even get on the waiting list! Im so bummed i def thought i wud at least get on the waiting list. The letter says to reaply for next yr:( i wonder what the chances r ill get accepted next fall? Any ideas?

so sorry to hear that - just does not make any sense. I would call the school and find out what happened - they should be able to fill you in with some information I would guess. Still waiting on my end for a response.

Thanks i will def call and find out. I was thinking the same thing i just dnt understand why they wudnt at least take me next spring:-( ill emailed Brigid hopefully i hear from her tmro:)
