   I would say to go for it and apply to Shadyside or Mercy for full time. Sometimes you'll be on a waiting list, so that is a good time to take some science courses and get them out of the way. I was put on the waiting list for Shadyside for Spring bec...

   My advice to choosing between schools is to check the first time NCLEX pass rates for each. UPMC Shadyside is the highest in the city for the past 5 years at least, along with University of Pittsburgh. I would also get comfortable with where you are ...

   Keep your chin up those of you not in the spring "10" class. I was in the same boat as you for the fall 2009 class and I am now in the spring class. It does bum you out because you want to go so bad, but it just makes it that much better when you get...

   Hi KBM. I would definitely send the transcripts even if your classes don't transfer. I originally applied for the fall and didn't send my transcripts because I thought the same thing. Well, the fall class ended up being full and so I am considered fo...

   KBM, If you email Natalie Borkowski at the admission office, she will tell you the classes that transfer. I would definitely make sure of this before registering, you don't want to waste any money or time on classes! She was very helpful for me and I...

    Did anyone take classes at CCAC and transfer them to Shadyside? Since I have to wait until Spring to go full time, being the class for fall was full, I'm taking classes at ccac to try to get them out of the way. Any input?

    Hey Robot, I got the idea to start a new thread from you, thanks. I started one with just UPMC Shadyside in the title, but I figure this one will get more hits. I do agree. The last minute stuff is ridiculous!
