   Congrats Leigh & charlestonsailing! Are you guys going to the Nov. 13th meeting? I am down in CT and I don't think I'll be able to attend, but I'm wondering if this is something I really need to go to! Sheepwithagun - did you go to that first or...

   You can always email the admissions dept. As far as I was told, this is how they break it down (although, it may change): 50% GPA (20% cummulative, 30% prereqs) 35% Essay 10% Recommendations 5% Resume

   nics - My GPA wasn't so good - my undergrad really brought me down and i was so worried. It was only a 2.89, and then my prereqs weren't the best either, 3.3. BUT, I didn't give up and I did my best under the circumstances. I think it's really impor...

   Listen, Don't get down on yourself. Be glad it was just your essay and not your GPA. The essay is the easiest to improve (and you don't have to spend more money on re-taking classes). I had spent about a month working on my essay. 100 words is not ...

    Carebear28 replied to Annaiya's topic in South Carolina

    I am also waiting to hear if I get in. SO nervous! Keep going from being confident - to thinking I am crazy to even apply. This is the only program I applied to...and the only one I want to go to! I wish there was a way to tell them that if I am acc...

11. MUSC ACCEL NURSING PROGRAM: How did you get in?

    Carebear28 replied to Carebear28's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You're right, they are very helpful at the College of Nursing. I definitely had my share of questions for them. I'm curious what your essay question was for the Fall 09 application? and was there a word limit?

    Carebear28 replied to Carebear28's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I kept looking at the essay and was thinking maybe they meant 1,000 words? :) It was very difficult to get it right, but in the end, I am happy with the essay. It's the GPA that worries me since that is worth 50% of the admissions. I've moving to Ch...

    Oh, no! ...I wasn't implying that at all! I am in no position to judge, just in the same boat as you and suggesting what I tell myself - stop thinking about it and just do it :)
