   Tawnylee, what area do you live in? Try applying to all other places and another cohort? I was selected as an alternate but will have to respectfully decline because the el segundo deadline is mid January, which I feel I need to jump on in case bein...

   I thought I read somewhere that emails could possibly be sent out on a Saturday, too. But SOAR will be down for maintenance beginning this Saturday at noon, so we are bound to receive notice tomorrow most likely. Just wondering why "submitted" hasn't...

   I think I've prepared myself for the worse, but definitely hoping for the best right now. However, I feel this particular cohort has been cheated? If I look at the open application period date range for our cohort, it has been open for one year!!! Ve...

   When she said we would know "by the end of the first week in November" did she mean this weekend or the end of the first full week in November- which would mean next week.

   tawnyalee: you can always hope for the best, but prepare for the worst =) Start thinking about other options, and get the ball rolling on that. Start studying for the teas again so you can retake it in 60 days. I am hopeful for myself but don't want ...

   I am planning on applying to the generic BSN program in El Segundo if I don't make this one. I, too, have dug my own grave by not studying much. I really didn't expect that many applicants. I read that last year they had 40 applicants, and thought th...

    So there are 75 applicants? On Sep. 28th, they said there were 80. I think I have 69 pr 70 points excluding essay. And they pick 5-10 students for back up after the initial 20 for the cohort, I read.

    SammiN: Thanks for calculating my scores for me. As for the essay, you should spend a little time thinking about why you went into nursing, and what makes you think you have what it takes to succeed in the profession. I can't think of anything else t...

    I think I saw someone ask if math was harder on the real test. I, myself, thought math was much, much easier than the practice exam. The science was a tad bit more difficult for me because for some reason, I was expecting nursing questions like: what...

    Hi SammiN: Thanks! Yes, all my other math and science courses are As, EXCEPT one of the science ones, which was a B+ in lecture, and A- in lab. What would my GPA be?

    I don't understand why the filing period was extended either. I got a 66% unfortunately. I didn't realize I could start studying earlier, and that I could have taken it earlier as well. Yes, the essay portion has spell check. And I don't know how to ...
