   RN2Be, I'm with you on cost of attendance. Once you do the number crunching, its a little frightening. I was figuring today that if tuition is approx 50k I'll probably borrow twice that to support the cost of books, scrubs, equipment and living expe...

    Lisa333, Thank you for the update! I've been reading over previous posts and it makes more sense now. Admissions must be accepting SF cohort students early to see how many people return deposits and letters of intent. That gives me much more hope! L...
