   OverTheTop replied to ChristineN's topic in General Students

   I start on August 15th. I'm excited but I wish we didn't start until the 28th b/c my kids start school that day and I wouldn't have to worry about finding childcare for the gap.

7. Who all is applying this semester for Fall 2006?

   OverTheTop replied to marilynmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I applied last year for fall '05 although I knew I wouldn't get in because I wouldn't have accumulated enough points yet. I did manage to make the alternate list, which gave me more confidence about getting in for fall '06. I have to wait until April...
