    Hi, All! Seems like lots of Loyola ABSN students on here. I am just sent in all my materials April 16th so I was a little late to the party, but wanted to wait until after I completed my job shadow. Has anyone heard if they enacted a wait list yet? I am hoping I am not too late. Also, would you mind sharing your pre req GPA and where you went to undergrad? I went to University of Michigan and only have a 3.3 (due to lots economics and finance classes), but my sciences are 3.8 and my pre reqs for the program put me at a 3.6.

    I just got my application in also, a few days ago. Now we just have to wait.
    I haven't heard anything about a waitlist yet.
    Regarding GPAs - my original undergrad GPA wasn't great, something around 2.7. (I went to University of Louisville.) But for my last two years of science prereqs at the City Colleges, I have a 4.0. I'm hoping that pulls me up enough to be a contender.

    I'm with you on that. I had all As in my pre reqs from the last few years except A&P I but it was seriously an 89.9 and the teacher was not forgiving for me missing class due to my work travel. Hopefully they can look past the B! Did you apply anywhere else? What did you study in undergrad?

    Inflexible teachers are a pain! I'm sure you'll be fine, though.
    I applied to Rush also, but it's for their Spring 2013 program. If I get into Loyola, I think I'll accept their offer. I don't want to be in school for another two years!
    My first degree is in theater, but my day jobs for the last 8 years have been IT-related.

    I am more business but IT related. I had my interview with Rush, but waiting on them. I am with you on going the shorter route. I will keep you posted if I hear anything.

    Ahh...another City College refugee! Congratulations on moving on....that place is the worst. Here are my stats in case you guys are interested: 3.6 GPA (1st undergrad), 3.8 GPA (prereqs)- Worked as an administrative assistant for years and then became a massage therapist about 3.5 years ago. - volunteer at a free clinic. You guys both sound like pretty solid candidates, so you should have no prob.

    In my book, an 89.9 should always be rounded to a 90. You were robbed!

    Hi everyone! Here's another question..... When you made your deposit was there a letter of intend forms to fill out? I did my deposit awhile ago but I don't recall seeing this form, however in the to do list it says to fill this out. Is this just done by paying the deposit? Or was there a separate form I might have missed?Thanks,Renee

    @Renee- There was a form that came along with your acceptance letter where you would either check in the space where it says that you "plan to attend", or check in the other box. In any case though, whether u sent that form in or not, by you paying your deposit, it automatically takes care of that.
