I'm surprised that this year I haven't seen any threads about people applying to UW's program. What's going on? Where are all the 2012 hopefuls? Reveal yourselves ;)

Good luck to everyone!

I had the best night sleep after the rejection to SU, it was the anticipation that was jacking me up...

Hell Yeah to the best nurses ever, once we are all accepted then it is celebration time...

Hello!

I applied to the UW nursing program, drove up from Vanc. USA on Feb 15th and am now waiting to hear anything! I am well known to be one of the most patient people among many of my friends but... AAAAAHHHHHHAHA!!! Reading all the posts here just gets me very excited and anxious and nervous and... anyways. Glad to have others to vent/express to, thanks for this forum! So what I'm hearing is transfers don't hear till June/July but you get notification for acceptance into UW earlier. I applied to 4 other programs in the Vancouver/Portland area (PCC, MHCC, CCC, and Clark) all ADN programs but three in the OCNE program (3rd year at OHSU for a BSN). I thought I would hear, and be able to start making plans, by mid-April because that's when the other programs typically let you know if you've been selected for their essays. I my pre-req. GPA is 4.0 (A&P123, Micro, Nutrition, Human Dev., genetics) but my GPA from undergrad degree is below 3! I work full time as a CNA and started volunteering last summer at health screenings for underserved (I really loved that) and more recently on a gen-surg floor at OHSU. I was really happy to get invited for the essay but writing (handwriting! and composing by hand) is by far my weakest skill. I was confident in my calculations (I LIKE math!) but I'm always concerned about the legibility of my handwriting (literally looks like a 6th grader). Anyways, UW is my first choice because it would be 2 years to get BSN, but I just want to start my second career so I'll take the NCLEX and get work'n ASAP so I would still be really happy to get into the ADN programs too! OK, gotta GO!

Hello sushi...

The UW SoN will be notifying us between now and mid-april for acceptance into the SoN program. The general acceptance to the UW for transfer students doesnt happen until mid-June to July.

Good Luck

I just came back from my vacation and received my rejection letter form Seattle Pacific :( This is now making me even more nervous because if I didn't make it in to SPU's program, will UW take me? Ahhhh.....!! I just don't know what to think now... I have an interview at WSU tomorrow. Is anyone going?

Hi Kasko... so sorry that you did not get into SPU... did you get into SU? I have an interview tomorrow at WSU as well and I am pretty excited! I am surprised you were rejected, because you have the grades and the experience... maybe it's your age! Make sure to show that you are mature and can handle the rigors of the nursing program during your interview tomorrow! I am wishing you luck!

Pleasant P, Thank you for the encouragement! Yes I got into SU:) but its sooooo expensive! my interview is at 11, when is yours?

I got my letter today. I didn't get in :(

Im surprised we are the only three to post... everyone else must be off at the WSU interviews and away from their mail....

I totally wasn't expecting it today. I didnt even race to the mail today like I did yesterday. I though it was going to be too early still. This has been such a humbling and scary experience. I only applied to two schools and got rejected by SU for the right reasons....

I plan to take the NCLIN 302 class over the Summer. I spoke to a friend of mine who is in her first year of the BSN program and she yelled "DO IT". It will take your first quarter from 17 credits of 12... Done and Done. I have to notify the UW general application though to expedite my application now....

Congrats to those who get accepted and I cant wait to start... I feel horrible for those who didnt make it...

haha, i'm actually not at home so after i saw your posts i had to have my roommate check the mail immediately! i got in!!! sooo excited to be joining you guys next year! that also means a seat in the uw absn program will be available ^_^ i'm really happy for you jloya, after what i've learned about your stats, i was shocked you didn't get into su. your acceptance to uw, on the other hand, does not surprise me at all! congratulations!!! you too armynurse68, i look forward to meeting you both this fall!

Hey guys I got in as well, does anyone know how soon will UW notify the transfer students about their acceptance into the university? It says on their page that they notify us by June-July, however, on my nursing acceptance letter it said it would be in a couple of weeks. Now, I am completely confused! x.x
