Is anyone as anxious as I am?

I am so nervous and worried about my application. I applied in June to start in January 2011, but I won't find out until sometime in September. The wait is killing me, and making me so nervous. I started school awhile back and am trying to finish up. If I don't get in I may have to change majors and I don't want to have to do that-nursing has been my only major :( It's also nerve-racking because my school does not have anything set on how they admit so it's all rumors which drives me nuts since everyone has a different story. Well I just wanted to start this thread for anyone in the long wait like me :)

Hi, so is your school strictly waiting list? I abandoned a school that had that policy to one that is merit based. ITA though about the waiting, it's nerve wracking. I just recently found out that my program calls people for personal interviews, so that adds to the drama. I'll submit my application Sept. 1 and won't find out until mid-late Nov. if I got in.

What's your feeling on your chances? Sounds like you have a great GPA.

I'm so nervous because of the sheer volume of people that will be applying to the same program I want. I was in an intro class with 40 students, about 38 of whom intended to apply also, of course that doesn't include those re-applying or those who had already completed the course (last pre-req to apply).

Good luck, you only have 6-7 weeks to wait, maybe sooner:up: Best, LB

Oh thanks! No they don't have a waiting list its just competitive entry. I am just worried because although my gpa is good my TEAS score was good but pretty average as far as other applicants.. We also have to write an essay so it's sort off based on those 3 things, but I've heard all kinds of rumors about other things they take into account....so I'm worried as well as this guy in my micro class said he didn't get accepted with a 3.89 gpa so that scares me since mine is around that.. Just want to know eaither way and it's torture :) Good Luck to you too! Post on here when you find out :)

Yes, I feel the same way. Just finishing up A&P 2. I have a feeling Im going to get screwed over, judging by the last exam. I have an A as of now, but doubt I will after the next 2 exams. So close, but this may wreck my chances.

Applications are all due in by Sept 1, dont know how long it will be until they contact us.

anne36 that sux..a and p is a hard class i cant remember if you're in 1 or 2 but i actually had a harder time in the 1st one...you'll do good just hang in there ;) good luck on ur app its so nerve-wracking!!!!! when would u guys start your program then? things have changed since i was there

The program begins in January. I should ask, but I heard they dont notify until October/November. Im scared if I dont make it, Im scared if I do make it , LOL. Either way Im going to freak out, lmao.

I hear you guys! I just finished up A&P 2 this summer and I thought it was really a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be :(. I did well in the class overall, but still I think I had hives for the first test---I was so nervous!!

I also am wanting to get in for January 2011! I can't apply until September and we are suppose to find out October/November--Just makes me a little dizzy thinking about waiting until November to determine my fate!!! Good Luck IluvPatho, Justbee and Anne! The wait is awful :(

NOEL-I can't believe they don't let you find out until then! That doesn't give you much time to plan...The wait is terrible since they don't even tell us a specific time you find out just that an admissions commitee meets at some time in August and then they send out the letters after that. I've heard people getting them in Aug. and mostly in Sept. some in the beginning some at the end so ughhhhh nervous lol got my panties in a bunch jk

Anne36-I know the feeling I think I've concentrated so much on whether I get in or not, and I tend to pessimistic about it, I haven't even thought about if I actually did get accepted ahhhh!!! That is scary too but in a better way ;)

Hey yall:)

I am also waiting to see if i get into the January 2011 class, I went to a pre-admit conference Tuesday and applied... however will not find out anything until around Oct/Nov... our nursing program is selective admission which is based on points... I wish you all the best of luck and pray everyone of yougets in

I applied this summer for entrance into the Spring 2012 cohort and we don't find out until January 2011. I'm really nervous because a large part of our ability to get in is based on the grades earned this semester. I'm taking Anatomy, Statistics and Chemistry and I need A's in all three to be competitive. MY GPA is 3.52 but I feel so much pressure to succeed.
