    Do you have all the pre-reqs done?

    Quote from msuliz2010
    Yes she is the person from admissions I've been talking to. Wow, I'm really bummed if they've filled all of the spots and I haven't heard back yet... I feel like that's a really bad sign. But who knows maybe they haven't informed everyone yet. I am trying really hard to stay positive... Thanks for the info, will you be applying for the may 2011 start?

    I will have them done once I take my last two prerequisites this fall. When I applied they reviewed all of my classes from my degree at MSU and let me know I had two pre reqs to finish and asked me to send my plan for where I would take them this fall so that they could make an admissions decision. I sent that plan like a day or two later and have been expecting my decision for what seems like forever

    What about you, have you already finished yours? Try to stay positive, I'm sure you are a great candidate... it's just so competitive now that everyone second guesses themselves... My pre req GPA isn't a 4.0, but I took all of them so far at MSU while taking 400-level science classes, so I'm hoping they take that into account. Ugh, waiting is the worst part!

    Your application might be unique, but I'm sure they have had somewhat similar applicants in the past that they accepted (and I'm sure they did very well in the program). And I guess after all... all they can do is say NO, right?

    At first I thought the admissions process was going very smoothly, now I feel a bit different

    Hi Lo-be! I was accepted to the Jan 2011 cohort too! I was wondering how you know what the exam schedule is? Other than the letter asking for a deposit, I haven't received anything else in the mail. Have you started receiving other letters?

    Hi! I am very excited that I was accepted to start the Acc BSN in Jan 2011.

    I am interested in hearing what the 2nd semester is like (for me, it will be in the summer) A friend of mine has asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I am wondering if I will be able to participate (seeing as her date is the weekend before exams).

    Thanks for the input!

    msuliz2010 you should be able to get kristen on the phone. that is her job as i have talked to her before myself. call again and tell her you want a return call. if she doesn't, go above her head. you should be able to talk to someone there. i am sure she is busy but her job is to return calls.

    and to the other person asking about the wedding, i would say you shouldn't be a brides made as you will be stressing big time about exams. i hear the program is brutal and you'll be wishing you were studying the whole time.

    I applied in December 2009. I have heard that the earlier you apply, the better. I still had pre-reqs to do, so I was not accepted right away. However, I did have to submit a plan and stay on course. They accepted me after the majority of my sciences were complete. (I had one remaining). My the majority of my courses were completed at the end of May 2010 and I was accepted in July.

    Good luck!

    Hi Kalabaw! Congrats! I haven't received anything else in the mail either. I know about the exam schedule from the academic calendar that is posted on the website. Although, when I spoke with Kristin, she did say that our orientation will be sometime in September. So, I imagine that we will hear about it soon!

    I just finished my first semester in the SDO program last week, and I'm surviving so far. I found this board really helpful when I was applying, and I kinda feel like I should do my part by helping out now that I'm in the program. So, if anyone has questions about it I can do my best to answer them, or at least give my totally biased individual opinion :-)
