   I talked with an admissions lady at MGH and she said the only problem with not having a BSN is that it limits you in teaching. So if you think you want to teach nursing, having a BSN would be good. Other than that, it doesnt really matter too much a...

   I agree with your point on the nashville live music factor! Boston definitely has a city feel! There are so many incredible restaurants, bars, historical sites, hospitals (a whole area called Longwood dedicated to the major hospitals), colleges, etc,...

   That's right - you mentioned that hi616... What did you think of Nashville as a city? Im used to Boston where I walk out my apartment and rely completely on public transit

   No I didn't actually - I called them on Thursday and explained that I had to make a decision soon and they told me I had been admitted and they were in the process of sending out my admissions decision via mail

   Hey Hi616 Just saw your message! Thank you so much for that! I totally agree with you on your points! I'm thinking of flying down to Nashville for their orientation session March 1st - were you thinking of going down then?

    Yeah definitely look to those neighborhoods! You may find more safety alerts around the reservoir (cleveland circle in Brookline) because there was a BC student that drowned in there last spring - that being said, I have friends who live right in th...

    I actually called Vandy and asked on Thursday and got my decision. They said I got in, but were sending my letter this coming Tuesday. I think if you submitted your application before December 1st you can call them anytime and they can give you an ...

    I got into BC for Women's Health too! Now Im debating between BC, MGH, and Columbia. I did a little bit of analysis on the tuition side of things (and minus the fees for the schools) this what I came up with for costs: MGH: $104,716 BC: $80,640 Col...

    I can't seem to find a specific thread for BC 2013 on here either, which kinda surprised me... anyone else have anything to contribute about the admissions decisions? Good luck hi616! Did you get in anywhere yet?
