Saint Luke's College of Health Sciences - Kansas City

Published

Hey! Has anyone applied to St. Luke's in Kansas City for the Fall of 2012? If so, do you know when we should be recieveing our acceptance letters?

Good luck! :)

The way I understood it you just had to have the classes complete before their classes start in the fall too. The only class I am missing is Statistics which I am enrolled in right now but that is one of the classes they allow you to take while attending Saint Luke's. Definitely sounds like there was a lot of miscommunication there. :/

That's exactly how I read it from their website. The admission lady (who I will not name to protect her privacy) told me the same thing. I've been in contact with her since I first started the process. She reviewed my transcript and I would think that's the first thing you look for when advising students. I am really discouraged at this point since I had planned out everything. Based on what they told me, I would be a good candidate if it were not for this class. I am not sure if I should go to National American University now or wait and reapply for Spring 2014.

OH NO! I understood that to be the case too! I'm currently enrolled in 2 of the required classes and hope I wasn't rejected because of THAT. I've resorted to sending them an email this morning.

I would encourage you to contact them. I waited and waited and there was no news of any kind. You have no idea how many times I've tried to contact them. The only person that will tell you your status is the director of admission. I had to wait outside his office to catch him. They wouldn't reply me or call me back. The communication at Saint Luke's was appalling. I felt like a pest but I was so anxious. So now this is what he told me even though they post that information on the website. He said he can't admit me because that means they have to admit all others that are missing required classes. I don't know what to think or what to do right now. It's been really depressing.

Can you please let me know if you find out anything different? I just hope they are not telling people different things.

Bryli - I know a huge thing for them is GPA. That is why I was really nervous even though I have a 3.7. I only applied at Saint Luke's as well so I can symphysis with you there. I just went to their website and it looks like they have changed some things since the last time I was on there but it says you just have to have 2 out of the 4 science classes to apply so that makes no sense with what they told you.. It says you have to have 36 of the 63 credit hours before you apply though too. Do you have that many? I do not know anything about National American University but if it is a BSN program and you can start in the fall it would atleast keep you on track.

Maybe they got so many applicants that they choose the ones that already had the requirements as a way to minimize the list?

Hi Jordan_e_l, thank you for your words. I have completed all other required classes from my previous college. I was under the impression that as long as I finish the science classes before August, I should be fine. Apparently that's all changed based on what they told me. The director told me that my GPA was not an issue and I also did well on the Teas test. Maybe you are right that they already had enough good candidates and just didn't need to consider other people. Btw, Congratulations on your admission! I just need to figure something out soon. It's so hard to get into a good school these days.

"We are still in the process of sending letters for the fall semester. You should hear from us within the next week or so."

Was the entire reply :(

geez...they really could do better at communicating. I've given up on them at this point and will try to re-apply for Spring. I will also be applying to other schools. I will not put all eggs in one basket again. It would've been nice if the adviser had told me that I do not "qualify" yet. Good luck! Hope you hear something soon. I still haven't even seen a rejection letter.

do you know if they hang on to transcripts/TEAS score from the previous app? I really don't want to shell out more $$ to have my info sent again.

They didn't really tell me too much about re-applying. The director just said to submit a new Spring 2014 application and submit any updated transcripts. The deadline is August 2nd. Don't give up yet! Maybe you are luckier than me.
