   Congrats! I thought orientation was Friday... I think they are having problems filling seats because San Mateo is so new and more people prefer SF because they like the city.

4. English prof + course issues....

   nurse_olga replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Okay, i missed that... the reason I got involved is because I didn't like the comments where people were attacking the poster and the poor grammar. I wanted to comment on why someone may be happier with an F than a C and also that there was no need ...

5. English prof + course issues....

   nurse_olga replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I understand that. That being said, don't respond to the OP if the grammar bothers you too much. Some of us don't care about poor grammar, and will look past the run-on sentences and lack of punctuation to read between the lines. It does not take ...

6. English prof + course issues....

   nurse_olga replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is a difference between offering advice that is helpful rather than insulting... the poster never said that the professor gave them a C on purpose so as not to retake the class and I never said that. I acknowledged that professors sometimes th...

   simonek - i'm sorry that this happened to you, i understand why you are upset, if you can, try to contact your professor and ask him/her to change your grade to an incomplete or an F. Also, I'm sorry that you are upset with previous posters. For eve...

   mondaygirl, I'm sorry you didn't get accepted, their administration is definitely lacking in efficiency. I doubt that you were wait-listed because of those two classes since a lot of applicants don't take them before they apply. I would still try ...

    Iwant2beRN - I'm not too sure how much SMC cares about volunteer work, but try Stanford Hospital. I volunteered there, I also live in San Mateo and the commute isn't bad at all, 20 minutes. Go online under volunteers and they show you all of the op...

    nope, i talked to some admission person and they said that they don't care that I went to Berkeley or that I took a lot of extra classes (sports medicine, hormones&behavior, two different physio classes, two different psych classes, a year of o-c...

    First: congratulations to everyone who got accepted!!! Second: I was put on on the wait-list at #17 and I can't get a hold of anyone in the admissions department to ask them why... I have a 3.36 gpa in prereqs, a 3.02 in last 60 semester units, and ...

    nurse_olga posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I applied to two schools in northern California; got rejected by 1 and wait-listed for the other. There are few options up here so I am very open to moving anywhere within the states. I just need to find a school which does not solely focus on GPA ...
