I am now playing the waiting game. Applied to only 1 school for Spring of 2012, finished my pre-req's with a 3.7 GPA and passed the NLN in the 94 percentile. Now Im waiting to hear whether or not I got in. Advisor said decision would be made middle of this month with letters going out end of this month. These weeks seem to be dragging. I feel confident I got in with my scores but who knows how everyone else did. So there is always that doubt.
Just looking for some company for those playing the waiting game too.
Me, me, me!
I did receive one acceptance months ago, with a scholarship! But it wasn't my first choice school as it's a full time day program and it starts two days after my spring semester here ends! Ahhhhhh !
I'm anxiously waiting for my first choice school (part time evening/weekends) to send their final decision. I was already accepted to the university but since I didn't have my sciences completed they couldn't accept me to the program. Well I had to go to a meeting/interview a couple weeks ago, and they're supposed to be sending out the letters now. I'm really hoping they see that my GPA is awesome and my entrance exam score was awesome and they look over the fact that my sciences won't be finished until the middle of May. Hopefully my letter is on it's way.
I'm scheduled in two weeks to register for classes at the school that accepted me, and I still haven't sent in my deposit yet because I'm waiting to hear from my first choice school. I'm going crazy trying to "decide", but really knowing that if I don't get into the one school my decision will be made for me. I'm going nuts here!
Good luck with rutgers they have a very competitive nursing program especially in new bruswick. Are you applying to new bruswick or newark? I graduated from newark in 2010 with a degree in social work. I orignally was accepted for their nursing program but didn't go because I thought I was goin out of state to school when I first applied to college in high school. I really feel stupid that I turned them down but I guess everything happens for a reason. Anyway good luck
I applied to the transfer program in Newark, and i know people will say rutgers, community college, X is easier to get into than Y etc.. are not that competitive etc.. nonsense, utter nonsense with the many many people applying to nursing school and the lack of facility, programs can be very, very selective.
I am going between remaining positive and utter dread haha, I am hoping for the best that at least one school accepts me for admission. However I am preparing for the worst. If everyone says no do I jump into LPN, or do I finish up 1-2 more pre reqs then apply again to a RN program?
To those out there, waiting, I know the feeling, it is one constant roller caster.
