   AirForceWifey replied to AirForceWifey's topic in Arkansas

   Dawn, You said for the school in Clovis you needed to take like three more courses. I was just wondering what courses those were. Their website isn't too clear (at least for me). I know I would still need to take the health assistant course, a...

   I just got my acceptance letter today! I'm really happy, but at the same time I'm really sad (because we're moving).... My husband is now saying I should stay here and go to UAMS (he's heard so much about their medical school), but I don't know what ...

   I emailed the woman overseeing admission at UAMS and she said that acceptance letters were mailed out YESTERDAY! She didn't say if all of them were being mailed out or if they mail them out in cycles, but it sounds like all of them... So maybe today...

   AirForceWifey replied to AirForceWifey's topic in Arkansas

   UALR has been ok. I've only taken English and Math so far through UALR so far and they have been extremely easy. This fall I am taking a Chemistry course, so I will really be able to determine how hard/easy UALR is after that. I haven't looked int...

10. UAMS- Summer 2009

    AirForceWifey replied to AirForceWifey's topic in Arkansas

    Wow, I can't believe that they accept GPAs down to 2.5. I would have never thought that they would accept lower than like a 3.2 or something. My GPA isn't all that high, so I'm hoping it's high enough to get in (it's a 3.5). I have only been here ...
