Anybody else get a very sweet rejection letter?


Well, got my letter this weekend...as I expected, I didn't get in because I hadn't completed all the pre-nursing courses, and all the slots were filled by students who had. Still, the letter was very nice and basically stated that the only reason I wasn't accepted was because I hadn't taken A&P II or Micro yet, and that they strongly encouraged me to finish those classes and apply again. How nice, I figured it would just be a "thanks but no thanks" sort of deal, but they are actually trying to help me along. It helped take the sting out of the rejection. Oh well, I'm taking Micro this summer and A&P II in the fall, and then hopefully I'll get in on the next go-round. Anybody else get a nice rejection letter? Good luck to everyone still waiting!

I recieved a rejection letter too. I expected it since I changed my major to nursing the week of the deadline for applications and I didnt have a single pre-req, lol

Hopefully we'll both be able to finish our prereqs and get accepted next year!

I have tried to imagine what the rejection letter will say...I think I have a good chance of getting in (I applied to PN) but then again I don't have all prereq's completed for that either. I'm lacking AP I&II

You are really close Katie! I bet you get in for sure next time!

Good luck to you both on the next time around!

Don't give up. You have what it takes. Just keep applying. When God closes a door, He opens a window.

That is very nice. My school uses a form letter. It is straight forward and polite but I wouldn't call it particularly sweet.

I was actually expecting to get in this last year because my gpa was higher than the previous year's applicants, but the average gpa went up more than I ever could have expected. A nice comment would have been appreciated, since I was pretty bummed at the time. (Ok, I cried about it like a baby!)

Good luck with your remaining courses. I wanted to retake Micro this summer, but couldn't find a good time since I have 3 kids and need to be home with them. I opted for other classes that are all online.
