1. Community college courses

   traveler2000 replied to dslite's topic in Post Graduate

   I did pretty much all of my prerequisites (the few others I did during my first undergrad degree) at my local community college, and I'm in the Columbia ETP program now. They really don't care where you did your prereqs (I know people in the program ...

   sarhag2, thanks for sharing. Can you tell me where the other people from your class who will be doing anesthesia ended up getting ICU jobs?

3. Accelerated BSN or ELMSN schools that are easy to get into?

   traveler2000 replied to SparkleRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The average matriculation rate (percent of accepted students who choose to attend a school) for most schools is around 50%, so if a school is aiming for a class of 150, they usually accept around 300. So it's possible that 70% is correct. In any case...

   Oh yeah, and Georgetown's website also says their acceptance rate ranges from 40-70%, depending on the number of applications they receive.

   Columbia has an acceptance rate close to 70% (though that also depends on specialty). I also read on the Hopkins website that their acceptance rate is around 70% too (it was on an online chat transcript). Good luck to you!

6. Any Johns Hopkins (JHU) BSN/MSN 2008 applicants?

   traveler2000 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi Asherah! I was fortunate enough to get accepted at a few programs, and though I'm definitely leaning towards one, I thought that I shouldn't be too hasty and make a decision without getting all the information I can. I wasn't able to visit any sch...

   traveler2000 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   I found out a few days ago that I was accepted into the BSN/MSN program, so for those of you who might not have heard anything yet, don't lose hope! I haven't decided yet if I'm going to the accepted students day since it's so last minute, but I hope...

   kevkev1986, did you receive your actual financial aid package yet from oscar via mail or email? If you haven't, maybe you should wait and see? I recently received mine and got the $20K in scholarships (the other $10K will come in the MSN portion). Go...

    Wow, I didn't think it would happen, but I'm in for Nurse Anesthesia! Congrats to all the others who were accepted, and good luck to those of you still waiting.

11. Duke Admissions Process

    traveler2000 replied to austin215's topic in General Students

    I didn't interview in person so I can't comment on that, but I can tell you about how things happened for me. I submitted my app on 1/2 and called Duke last week to find out when I could expect a response. They told me over the phone that I had been ...
