   Appreciate your last comment. Sounds like we have similar profession experience. I also worked with an autistic teen, respite care. Well, I would honestly contact someone in the nursing school, briefly give them your background info and ask fo...

   I would think your background in social work would be a real asset. My interpretation of the "volunteer experience" means they want those who contribute to their community and who have an interest in serving that community. Can't think of a better ...

   Still nothing in the mail today. I'm not sure how much longer I can stand the wait. I emailed the contact person today at UNC's Nursing school, pretty much pleading for some insight and was only told that all letters were mailed out last week. S...

   I worked with the developmentally disabled population for several years, mostly in DC but some of my past professional experience was here in Chapel Hill and Durham. Was your volunteer work with the disabled local? Curious to hear which population...

   Still have not received anything from UNC and I thought for sure I would get something today. Not sure what to make of that????? I don't think I can stand the wait any much longer. Knowing I am completing my final prereq this semester, I can't ima...

   From what you are saying I would feel confident too if I was in your situation. Sounds very promising. So, in the last two years no one that you know with completed prereqs has gotten in? Guess that pretty much sums up my chances. Are these alot...

   Sorry to hear about that. I can imagine how you feel. I bet it was just a matter of not having your prereqs met. If you don't get in this round, you'll get in come Jan, which is not as far away as it might seem. Hope u don't mind me asking, bu...

   Thanks so much for that information. I will definitely take your advice if I am in that situation. Do you think they gave you honest feedback on your chances of reapplying? I was wondering if they are straightforward about one's chances if they ...

   CarolinaGirl84, I can relate. These days I am pretty much camped outside my mailbox. When you were initially waitlisted, did u meet face to face with someone from the Nursing school? I am curious to hear about that process and what they informed...

    Thanks for the info. Your friends who were rejected due to incomplete prereqs, were they advised to reapply? Or did they reapply and get accepted their 2nd time? Keeping my fingers crossed for u as well. Thanks Again!

    Thanks for the link. I think "the most highly rated applicants...ect" just means that they will offer admissions/acceptance to those applicants who they deem most qualified out of the entire applicant pool. And I do think they send their admissions d...

    mmm, not sure? where exactly did you read that at (your quote)? I've combed through the Nursing school's website, but I must have missed that one. From my understanding, the nursing school notifies undergraduate admissions who they want to admit/...

    They were not a UNC student. They were a 2nd degree seeking student and that person was actually notified that they did not get in. Wasn't not sure if that was good news for me, since I have (as of Saturday's mail) still not heard anything. Btw...

    I applied to UNC Chapel Hill's 24-month BSN program for May '08. I was told by someone that admissions notifications will be sent out anytime between mid-March and April 15th (which incidentally is not a whole lot of time considering one would start ...
