Not in the program but let me know if you got in!

I'll be applying in October for the Spring semester, but I hear it's pretty tough to get in. What are your backup plans in case things don't work out? I'm pretty worried about that aspect :uhoh3:

Good luck on getting in.

Wow that's pretty awesome! I hope the program will be fun. Do you mind if I ask what were your stats? You don't have to answer, but I scored an 88.8 percent on my teas and I think my prereq gpa is a 3.5ish (hopefully that'll be good enough to get in. I might consider retaking the teas to get a higher score in the 90's). Also, did you attend the informational nursing meetings? Was it helpful?

hey there,

i got a 90 on my teas, and my prereq gpa was 3.92. i actually didn't attend any of the informational meetings cuz they all conflicted with class time or work, but they are highly recommended by the nursing advisors. the lady at the nursing office actually scolded me for not ever attending an advising session! i overheard someone in the nursing office say that a teas score of above 80 is actually really good, so i think you're in good shape! are you done with all your prereqs? i would advise you to definitely save up some money cuz they sent me a list of books i would need for semester 3 alone and it amounted to over $500!!! and i imagine costs would pile up even more when we start clinicals (materials, malpractice insurance, etc.), but it'll all be worth it, right? let me know if you have any more questions! good luck!

i heard a grant just expired reducing the amount of students accepted each semester from 80 to 60.

impaction cutoff for fall 08 admission was 10.4 :eek:

my guess is that it will only go up for future semesters.

but if you end up on the wait list (top 5) chances are people will decline admission and go to another school, so don't give up hope.
