Iceangels30 and Hlee, I'm rowing on the same boat with you all. I mailed it off on the 10/16, but it didn't show up as received until 10/20.

nothing today, I'm going out of town for two days so I'm going to be so nervous to open the mail box when I get home. AH!!!! Its driving me crazy not knowing.

Nothing for me today!! What about decline letters. Have they gone out too? What about he wait list? I turned my application in on the last day a couple of hours before closing, so can I join your club hlee? lol I thought October 1st was the deadline. Allicares did they extend the deadline? I took mine in on 09/30.

Join the club mom2011 !!!! lol I also thought the deadline was october 1st. Also, Nothing for me today either !!

Alliecares · Oct 26, 2011

I made a mistake! I meant 9/20! No, I don't think that they extended the deadline.

Ohh ok, I called to check to see if they sent out more leters and she said no, that they were still being reviewed. She said that they had over 200 apply and that we should all hear by early to mid Nov. She also stated that they adjust the accept by dates on all of the letters. I also asked if any deniel letters went out and she said she was not sure, but that all applicants would get a response. ok back to studying for me!!

Whoa. So more than 200 people did apply??? :s

Gosh. Mid-nov is so far away. -sigh-

I haven't checked my mail today, and judging by what everyone else said, guess I shouldn't expect anything today. lol.

How do you check your status online for the nursing program?

mom2011 · Oct 27, 2011

@iceangels30, that is what she said. But I really find it hard to believe that they are still reviewing, because I was told that they do not look at any apps. until they were all in. So how can you accept some with out looking at all of them. You have to look at all of them to make sure you are getting the best right? Also, you have to keep checking your mailbox because the accept by dates are going to be close and you do not want to miss out lol

Hey, guys. :-) I'm a current A1 (first semester ACE student), and just like svictor1, I know exactly what you are going through right now--I was playing this same waiting game earlier this year, and it is no fun!! For those of you who haven't yet gotten your "golden ticket", definitely don't lose faith yet. I would imagine that there are at least a couple of more acceptance letter waves before denials and wait list letters go out. I looked back at last spring's cycle, and it was mid-November before that happened. And the way that this typically seems to go is that letters are sent out once a week--I think that during our app cycle maybe letters were received one week on a weird day (like Monday, maybe) but that for the most part, letters were received on Friday or Saturday, depending upon where you lived. So, try to relax between waves, and then stalk your mailbox at the end of each week. Yeah, I know...I still stalked mine twice a day, every day, even knowing that it wouldn't be until later in the week. ;-)

Also, try not to spend a lot of energy trying to figure out what they (the committee) are doing, how they are doing it, or when stuff will happen. It'll drive you mad. When I watched two waves of acceptance letters go out, without receiving one myself (4.0+ program GPA, 94 TEAS), I became convinced that I would get a denial. Not the case...I just had to wait until the 3rd wave. :-) Hang in there, guys.

Thanks Kel3 for that info! It's so hard to relax right now, but I'm going to keep the faith. Part of me is saying that I need to start working on my plan B, but the other part of me is like if I start working on my plan B, then that would mean that I don't have much faith in my plan A! I'm all messed up! Lol!!! The wait continues...
