   I'm not sure if it's different for the traditional program, but when I applied to WEA last year, the dean told me that most accepted WEA students from the previous cohort had around 20 points, give or take. I think I had 20 points, and was finishing...

    rsal27, yes I did get in! I am excited and nervous! Are you an HCC student, too? AmbitiousBSN, moving this to the MD forum is a good idea, but I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me what to do in order to move it? Thanks, Katie
