... Know anything about the process?

There shouldn't be any Saturday clinical assignments unless she was accepted to the evening/weekend program at Boyce (that's the "fast track" program, which seemed attractive in theory but I didn't want to do evening/weekends either).

I know its terrible i got rejected from st margarets in the fall ..but you still have options, some people would love to go to Carlow and can't get in! I'll pray for you! You can always start in the spring even though it stinks to take a semester off!! I've heard great things from mercy my friends graduated from there and loved it! It's always good to keep in touch with people that are going through the same thing for support so I hope you do !!!

@sali22,

That is BS!! I have a degree in a very unrelated field from Nursing BUT in that Undergraduate program, we took our general education courses then had to apply for the School of what our major was ex. School of Education, School of Biological Sciences, School of Foreign Languages, etc. You had to have whatever the required GPA was for that School but we applied a semester before while we were still taking our general education courses so there was no official guarantee to the School of your major that you would maintain your required GPA. Obviously , if you didn't, then you couldn't start in that program. Somehow, someway, it worked out in much larger University where the Schools were offering Undergrad, Grad, and Doctoral degrees.

I say all of that to say: What the heck is their rationale?? Were you to have them done in December then sit out a semester?? If you have student loans and have to be at least half-time or the payments kick-in, how does that work?? Unless they hope in that case people will just enroll in 2 classes so they get $$$ while the student stays half-time. That is an interesting trick. If you were advised to go this route then this is double BS!! I really don't think that the Higher Ups at the college know what goes on in that Nursing Department. I have my own tale of woe that is really insane.

Maybe try this:

Have the Chemistry professor send your current grade to the Nursing Department. If there is no way possible that you could get below a 'C' then your grade is set as passing. Could you drop out in a week and "fail" the course? Yes, but who cares? You have nothing to lose at this point!!! Also, do you have the information from the advisement meeting? Who, when, etc. that may help a bit too.

I wouldn't let this go!!! Keep us posted! Good luck!

Specializes in transplant/case management.

That would be awesome if you got into mercy. A few of us on another thread are going to be attending there :-). Congrats to everyone else!

I also got my acceptance letter Saturday the 28th. I have a 4.0 GPA & picked North as my 1st chioce & Allegheny as my 2nd. But, I got accepted into Boyce. I did meet with the nursing dept. Monday & she told me there were lots of applicants this year and it was not a mistake.

I wonder why Boyce has so many openings
