ASU Nursing Program Spring 2011 hopefuls

SEA3347 · Apr 1, 2011

Hi Moe,

Congrats to you. From your score, you are in!!!!

The alternate list, so the front desk says, does consist of 10 people and no they will not give the ranking but April 6 is the last day to turn in acceptance or rejection from the students who were advanced so the alternates should know something after that. And from what I hear, alternates could be placed all the way up to class starting. I am hoping some of the admitted students got accepted to med school or nursing school somewhere else and open up some slots for us alternates! Win win for all!. I am keeping my fingers crossed. In the mean time, my :redbeathe is pounding....

Wednesday, 06APR2011 is the last day to accept admission?!! For real?? Holy Crap! They told me we would have upwards of 3 weeks to respond! I hope I can get off active duty quick enough to get home and send in the admission acceptance letter.....assuming I got one.

Your description of the way they are working the Alternate List this time comports with how it was done last time. No surprises there.

Moe,

I called and asked the front desk gal. She put me on hold and came back and told me April 6. I would call and confirm with an adviser. Let me know if they say different as I am thinking they will call alternates, if spaces are available, after that date- so I am eagerly waiting.

Also, I don't think they can penalize you for doing active duty. Call them.

Apparently, I'm accepted. Friend called today saying the letter arrived, they opened it, and it said I had to respond by 6APR2011. Should be home by then....hopefully. I'll call the school Monday anyway. Thanks for the update!

Thanks dsgillis! I am hopefull. My score is 5.534 and the cutoff is 5.545. Sooooo close! I just wish I knew what number I am out of the 10! I guess time will tell.

Hi I'm also an alternate for the summer. It seems like we have the same score of 5.534.

Inspired Student-

What are the odds that we have the same score? LOL! Thanks for posting... I am hoping others will find this forum and post as well. There is a Summer 2011 forum too for ASU in case you have not found it. Do tell if you find out any other information as I will do the same. I am sure you are as anxious as I am. Good luck to you and hopefully we all get in! :-)

Hopefully we're at the top or near the top of the alternate list.

Big question regarding pageburst. I bought the book bundle package through the school and $915 later plus another 130 for the last 4 books, I am wondering if it is really worth it to have the e-book and all of the pageburst functions. I like the idea of not carrying books but wanted to know your thoughts since you have been in class. Thanks in advance...

Hi I am in the summer 2010 program and I think the page burst is worth it. You have to find evidence on why you would do something for you car plans and papers. Instead of flipping through the book trying to fond the rational you can search what you are looking for in the page burst. For me it has saved a lot of time. Good luck with school!

Thanks, that is what I thought too. :up:
