UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

Yes, I am applying to Shadyside for Spring 2010. How is the process going for you?

I'm going to apply for the fall of 2010. I will take the PSB in the spring. I took the test last spring, and passed everything but just missed the science portion by a little bit. So now Im just trying to get some more science courses done, that way when I hopefully get into a Nursing program all I will have to really worry about is the Nursing classes. Good Luck Everyone! Let me know how it goes!

I know, I hate the fact that they make you do things a bit Backwards by taking the test, and then sending everythng in...it kinda makes it hard to have a fair chance to get in earlier (like Spring) if you are taking the test late, as I assume that they fill spots as people send in all of their necessary documents. I am taking the test late (in November) because I wanted to make sure that I had enough time to prepare...I didn't decide to apply until late August. If the spaces are filled for Spring, I can wait for August.

I will be taking classes at both Pitt and CCAC in the spring to get the non-nursing classes out of the way-then applying to get in for the fall. I was told that if I start with all the non-nursing classes completed, I can finish in 18 months! Is any one else doing this?

It's great to see a thread on here for 2010! I have been posting on the 09 thread. I took my test on Sept.26....and just got it back 2 days ago. I got 99 on math, 98 on reading, 95 on vocab, and 74 on science. I missed passing by 1 point in Science! So it looks like my chances of getting in for the Spring are gone now. I e-mailed Natalie and asked her if I could have another chance to retake it without a redemption course (I was searching the threads on here and I saw that a few other people were allowed to do that) but she said no. It's just so upsetting being so close! Good luck to the rest of you and if you have any questions about the test please let me know!

Hello! Have had all of my information in since before the end of August. Have called Natalie every few weeks, and she keeps telling me give it a few more. Has anyone else had the same thing happen? I just really want to know what is going on. Have a great day!
