Anyone applying to ABSN at WSSU for Jan 2012

wssustudentnurse2013 · Oct 8, 2011

No rejection letter in the mail for me either today and I live in Greensboro.....This is one of the main reasons I hesitated about returning to an HBCU b/c of disorganization and nobody seems to have the CORRECT or HONEST answer about anything. We all have gotten different answers. Example: I was told like others emails went out to all who were accepted and letters were mailed out Wednesday, Others were told NO EMAILS were sent out (when we know this is not true) and that letters were just sent out Thursday....WTH! I transfered out of an HBCU to UNC Charlotte and NEVER EVER had as much trouble getting the correct answers from anybody in administration as I have at WSSU! I have had 1 friend go through the ABSN program and one go through the MSN progam and had great experiences and they both say the "PROGRAM" is great it's just the ADMIN that SUCKS!

Again Congrats to all that got in and for those of us who didn't let not "GIVE UP" on our dream of becoming nurses. As my Mother said: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR PASSION OR DREAM"

I received my rejection letter today. I will be calling on Monday, to see if I can find out the reason for my rejection.

So I spoke to Mr. ******* today about my rejection. He said that they received 263 applications and more than 100 had all pre-reqs completed and had an acceptable GPA. Beyond that he said that they take the higher GPAs from your undergrad cumulative GPA. So why a couple of you did not get in, is a total shock. A lot of people have over a 3.8 GPA? Shocking to me....

Monster41 have you heard anything? It is so hard to get a hold of someone..everytime I call I seem to always get their voicemail..Also was wondering if anyone has been contacted from Baptist to set up their funding interview?

tkp3321,

yes, i got a response via email. she replied,

[color=#215868]"on the letter, it explains that all documents must be completed and received by oct. 21. therefore, even if you wait until oct. 21 to submit payment for your background check, you will be fine. the information may not completed on the 21st, but at least we will know that you have started the process.

[color=#215868]hope this helps…. let me know if you still have questions."

i ordered my background check and now i have to go to a labcorp to get the drug test. as far as an email from baptist, i am patient because from reading other threads, sometimes they don't find out until late nov.

For anyone not reading the other thread, a nurse recruiter from WFBH just called to schedule an interview.

So how is everything going with the program you guys?? Let us all know and give some insight if you can..I am planning on applying I guess January 2014 which I know is a while from now but because of switching majors I will not be graduating with my class this May and will have to wait until next May. If someone would please offer some advice, things you would do different, etc. it would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

I think they have added more requiremnets for the pre-requisite

I'm in! I had my interview with WFBH last week and am still trying to figure how how to get additional loans mid-year. Any tips? Most of the scholarships that they sent will only distribute money in August. Even with the scholarship only tuition and books are covered. What about living expenses?!
